The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Globe are making digital banking more accessible for Filipinos through a new partnership that gives Globe and TM subscribers free access to the BPI app.
As of end-September 2026, more than 10 million clients are enrolled in the BPI app, which BPI describes as one of the country’s most widely used digital banking platforms. By providing data-free access to Globe and TM subscribers, the partnership helps remove connectivity barriers and enables more Filipinos to manage their finances anytime, anywhere.
DATA-FREE ACCESS TO THE BPI APP
Effective November 5, 2026, BPI clients who are also Globe and TM subscribers can use the BPI app without data charges. Customers can check balances, transfer funds, scan QR codes, pay bills, and perform other banking transactions anytime, anywhere, without using their mobile data.
“With around 67 million subscribers in Globe’s network, this partnership allows customers to access the BPI app without using their mobile data, opening new channels for financial inclusion through our digital platforms. Collaborations like this are especially meaningful because they help more Filipinos stay connected to opportunities and build a better future,” said TG Limcaoco, president and CEO of BPI.
“Our nationwide coverage and roaming partnerships enable subscribers to access relevant digital financial platforms such as the BPI app with ease, giving them greater convenience and peace of mind when managing their finances. We look forward to seeing this partnership create positive impact for more Filipinos,” said Carl Cruz, president and CEO of Globe.
Data-free access will also be available in the coming months to other BPI digital platforms, including VYBE, BizLink, BizKo, and the BanKo Mobile App, helping even more users stay connected to the financial services they need.

BPI PREFERRED LANES FOR GLOBE PLATINUM SUBSCRIBERS
Globe Platinum subscribers, meanwhile, can enjoy the convenience of BPI Preferred Lanes, along with exclusive foreign exchange rates. To avail themselves of these benefits, customers need to present their Globe Platinum signal displayed on their devices to the branch concierge.
“This partnership with Globe reinforces our commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything we do. By combining connectivity, convenience, and exclusive benefits, we are creating more meaningful experiences and making it easier for customers to access the financial solutions they need, wherever they are,” said Maria Cristina “Ginbee” Go, head of consumer banking at BPI.
Through this collaboration, BPI and Globe are combining the power of connectivity and financial services to help more Filipinos stay connected, transact with confidence, and unlock greater opportunities in an increasingly digital world.
