LandBank extends financial services to far-flung areas
DAVAO DEL NORTE (PIA) -- The Land Bank of the Philippines (LandBank) has launched the LANDBANKasama program in Davao del Norte to bring digital financial services to far-flung areas.
At the Sayron Ta! Pakigsayod radio program of the Philippine Information Agency Davao del Norte information center, Land Bank Panabo branch manager Marlyn D. Cudal cited these programs as their financial inclusion strategies in line with the thrust of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
“Ito ang pinakabagong campaign ng LandBank para gawing mas accessible ang aming mga produkto at serbisyo sa malalayong lugar (These are the latest campaign of Land Bank to make our products and services accessible in far-flung areas),” she said during the program on Jan. 24.
She said that on January 18, LandBank made its way to the Municipality of Braulio E. Dujali, tagging along the Digital Financial Inclusion Caravan at the Dapog Function Hall, Poblacion of the
Municipality of Braulio E. Dujali, during which the LANDBANKasama was launched together with the LandBank PISO Plus.
Cudal explained that LandBank networks with grassroots entrepreneurs and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), such as local stores, gasoline stations, and cooperatives, as its conduit for extending banking services in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas and areas with fewer banking entities.
“Sa pamamagitan ng LANDBANKasama Partners, nakakapaghatid ng mga produkto at serbisyong pang-pinansyal ang LANDBANK sa ating mga kababayan sa ‘unbanked and underserved areas’ sa bansa (Through the LANDBANKasama Partners, we are bringing products and financial services of LANDBANK to our fellow country folks in the ‘unbanked and underserved’ areas),” she said.
Land Bank Panabo branch manager Marlyn D. Cudal explains the new inclusive digital programs of LandBank during the
Sayron Ta! Pakigsayod radio program run by PIA Davao del Norte Infocen every Wednesday at 8:15 a.m.
