BPI launches new banking app with a new design and experience

The new BPI banking app will eventually replace the old BPI Mobile app.

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has launched an all-new mobile banking app with future-ready features and services beyond convenient transactions, helping more Filipinos work their way toward financial well-being. This new app is a totally different application, separate from the old one.

“This (new app) boasts of a new design and experience, and we look forward to exciting new features that you won’t find in the older BPI Mobile app like mobile check deposit, AI-powered insights on your savings and spending, and more. These are core retail products designed not just to be convenient and sustainable but also customer-centric even in the long-term,” said Mariana Zobel de Ayala, BPI Consumer Bank Marketing, Platforms, and Digital Activation Head.

The new BPI app highlights the following features:

  • Improved User Experience
    Users can get things done in fewer taps, with top transactions that are easier to access upon login and faster to finish. Help links are now found within transaction processes for easier access to guides and FAQs.
  • Online Account Opening
    New clients can open a BPI #SaveUp account on the app within five minutes with just one ID. They can instantly start banking via the app.
  • Personal Finance Management (Coming in May)
    BPI will be the first bank app to feature AI-powered tracking and insights. The app will offer financial advice, payment reminders, and actionable tips to help millions of Filipinos improve their financial wellness.

Other features that are coming to the banking app soon are mobile check deposit, real-time bill payment, cash withdrawal via QR, save favorite transactions, and more product applications.

New BPI banking app UI

BPI said you can still continue using the old BPI Mobile app. QR codes generated from the old app will work with the new BPI app, the same goes for the Mobile Key.

Although BPI did not mention when they would sunset the old BPI Mobile app. But do expect it to happen soon when they fully transition to the new app.

The new BPI App is now available for download on the App Store and on Google Play.
