Sun Life taps top 3 banks for bills payments

Sun Life Asset Management Co. Inc. (SLAMCI) has partnered with the country’s three biggest banks for its bills payments program as part of its commitment to make investing an even more delightful experience for its clients.

SLAMCI tapped BDO Unibank, Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., and Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Islands for the program to enable clients to make additional investments in peso-denominated Sun Life Prosperity Funds via a bank partner’s various payment channels: online banking, mobile banking, ATMs, and over-the-counter.

“We’d like to offer clients comfort and convenience in their investing experience, knowing just how demanding their daily lives can be,” SLAMCI president Valerie Pama said.

“By enhancing the bills payment program, and with the help of our bank partners, our clients can effectively integrate investing in their lifestyle and be on their way to prosperity,” she added.

For online banking payments, Sun Life Prosperity Fund investors who are BDO, BPI, or Metrobank account holders can make additional investments by enrolling the intended Sun Life Prosperity Fund/s as a biller in the banks’ respective online platforms, then proceeding with payment.

This functionality can also be enjoyed using the banks’ respective mobile applications.

Meanwhile, for OTC payments, investors simply need to drop by any BDO, BPI, or Metrobank branch, fill out a payment slip, and hand the payment to the teller.

According to Pama, SLAMCI is set to partner with more banks in the coming months.

“This way, our investors can easily stay on track in their journey towards their financial goals,” she said.
