In an exciting development for financial inclusion in the Philippines, senatorial candidate Luis “Chavit” Singson officially launched the VBank app last Sunday, December 15 in Quezon City. This innovative digital banking platform promises to revolutionize the way Filipinos access financial services, making convenient and secure banking a reality for underserved communities nationwide.

Empowering Filipinos Through Digital Banking

The VBank app allows users to open a bank account entirely through their mobile devices, eliminating the hassle of tedious paperwork and long queues often associated with traditional banking. The app enables users to send money to any bank or digital wallet, pay bills, and purchase mobile loads, all from the comfort of their homes.

With over 6,000 cash-in outlets across the country—including well-known establishments like Tambunting Pawnshops, Puregold, and Alfamart—VBank ensures that its services are accessible to those in even the most remote areas.

During his provincial sorties, Singson showcased the convenience of the VBank app, emphasizing that this initiative is more than just banking; it’s about providing every Filipino with the tools needed to actively participate in the economy. “VBank makes it possible for anyone, regardless of location, to access essential financial services,” he stated.

Event Details

The grand launch commenced at 3:30 PM at the Bridgetowne Destination Estate, coinciding with the Blackout Festival. The event promises to be vibrant and engaging, with celebrity guest Ai Ai delas Alas joining Singson on stage. Following the main event, a press conference will be held at the exclusive VBank lounge to further discuss the app’s features and benefits.

Exciting Promotions to Engage Users

In conjunction with the launch, Singson introduced the “58 Days Pa-Raffle ni Manong Chavit,” a campaign designed to engage users and spread awareness about VBank’s convenient features. From the launch date, 58 lucky winners will receive ₱5,800, with one winner announced daily to claim ₱58,000. A grand prize of ₱580,000 will also be awarded to one fortunate user on the 58th day.

To participate, users need to download the VBank app, create an account, and follow Singson’s official Facebook page for updates. This initiative aims to encourage more Filipinos to explore the benefits of the app while providing them with the chance to win exciting prizes.

Bridging the Gap in Financial Services

VBank is not just another banking app; it is a comprehensive solution aimed at addressing the challenges faced by the nearly 77 percent of Filipinos who remain unbanked, as reported by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Many of these individuals rely on informal and often unreliable financial systems. With the launch of VBank, Singson aims to provide a secure, user-friendly platform tailored to the everyday needs of Filipinos, fostering economic activity and resilience.

The app’s features cater to individuals and small businesses, enabling them to manage their finances, access loans, transfer funds, and connect with broader financial opportunities—all without needing to step foot in a physical bank branch.

A Vision for the Future

Luis “Chavit” Singson’s vision for VBank extends beyond its banking capabilities. He describes it as a powerful tool for financial empowerment in the Philippines, particularly in areas where access to traditional financial services is limited. “We’re not just launching a product; we’re creating growth opportunities, especially in areas like Pangasinan,” he asserts.

As Singson runs for a Senate seat under the slogan “May Isang Salita,” he underscores his dedication to integrity, dependability, and fulfilling his commitments to the Filipino people. The launch of VBank is just one part of his broader mission to uplift and empower Filipinos through financial inclusion.
