Robinsons Bank’s innovations streak gains global recognition

Robinsons Bank, one of the fastest growing commercial banks in the country, continues to gain global recognition this 2020 for its innovative products and services.

RBank has won the title for the “Best Commercial Bank – Philippines 2020” and the “Fastest Growing Commercial Bank – Philippines 2020” from the International Business Magazine (IBM) and the Global Business Outlook (GBO), respectively.

In 2019, RBank’s revenue grew by 28 percent from its 2018 performance, registering a total of P8.1 billion, driven by a 17-percent expansion in its gross loan portfolio. RBank’s total net income in 2019 rose to P719.4 million, marking a 127-percent increase.

During the first half of 2020, RBank’s profit grew to P 628.32 million, almost four times the P 158.36 million it earned in the same period last year. This is strongly driven by the gains in trading and securities which offset the higher provision for credit losses.

Both IBM and GBO seek to recognize companies that show great potential in “innovation and creativity, and a drive to create value”.

Furthermore, Robinsons Bank’s GO!Salary Loan Online and the Mobile Credit Investigation Application (MoCA) for GO!Motorsiklo Loans both earned the title “Most Innovative Digital Transformation Initiative — Philippines 2020” in the recently concluded The Global Economics Awards 2020. MoCA was also awarded as the “Best Automated Loan Process — Philippines 2020” by the International Business Magazine.

In addition to this, RBank Sign Up, one of RBank’s newest products, was named as the “Most Innovative Retail Bank Product – Philippines 2020” by the International Business Magazine.

In these changing times, digital transformation and innovation is now more timely than ever. RBank continues to focus on these strategies to ensure that it meets the customers’ needs and to be able to provide them with an easy and convenient banking experience.

Creating Innovative Solutions in a Digital World

RBank is one of the few banks in the Philippines that offers loans specifically for motorcycles. Through the GO!Motorsiklo Loan, RBank aims to bridge the gap between financing opportunities for Filipinos in the lower-income bracket. Partnering with accredited motorcycle dealers, the Bank is hopeful that it can provide easy-to-pay financing options to the underserved market.

However, the challenge that comes along with loan applications is the credit investigation. Both clients and the Bank see that the credit investigation process is lengthy. That is why RBank’s GO!Motorsiklo Loan has implemented its Mobile Credit Investigation Application (MoCA) so that it can process loan applications faster.

With the implementation of MoCA, manpower scheduling improved, client information was made secure, credit reports were generated faster, credit checks were completed immediately, and more importantly, customers were better satisfied, further saving thousands of pesos in man hours under previous manual processing.

Improving customer experience through innovation

Robinsons Bank’s GO!Salary Loan online is the quickest and most effective way to get a much needed financial boost. Offered to employees of companies under the salary loan program, the GO!Salary Loan is a multipurpose loan facility that’s collateral-free and paid through salary deduction, allowing financial flexibility for clients.

The GO!Salary Loan online addressed the pain points of corporate clients and its employees. It eliminated the rigorous paperwork, the burden of filling out forms and preparing physical documents for the clients, and even the submission of the loan application.

Additionally, since the innovation makes use of an end-to-end digital process, loan applicants can skip the visit to a physical RBank branch to sign loan documents since it can be completed electronically through ePN. As an added security feature, clients are also provided a One-Time-Password (OTP) so they can access and accept forms and initiate the process of their loan release online.

As every step of the loan application process was embedded into the digitalization of the GO!Salary Loan, RBank achieved a reduction in the approval processing time from 1 to 2 weeks down to 1 to 2 working days after the online endorsement of the HR Group, thus remarkably reinventing the landscape of the GO! Salary Loan product.

Furthermore, the innovation reduced man-hours, and maximized productivity. It also reduced risk factors and increased efficiency in the loan approval process. This also allowed for new business opportunities for RBank, since with this new digital application, even companies with branches in far areas of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, may now be served through this digital innovation.

Reshaping banking for the ‘new normal’

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the banking industry, making digital banking no longer an option but a necessity. With this challenge, RBank sought to push digitalization further, and with urgency, to address these rapidly changing needs of the Filipino people and continue to provide them with their needed financial services during the critical time.

RBank launched the RBank Sign Up, an online application platform that promises an all-digital process of opening an account with Robinson Bank, last April. RBank Sign Up allows anyone to open a Simple Savings Deposit Account, Regular ATM Savings Account, and a Payroll Account.

With RBank Sign Up, clients who wish to open an account with RBank can do so with just a mobile phone, internet connection, and one (1) valid Identification Card. The application enables a real-time ID detection and a facial recognition feature that allows the instant completion of the application process. Clients will be able to receive their account details within a few minutes of opening the account.

Robinsons Bank continues to chart its path towards digitization with the goal of creating products and services that will enhance the customer experience to provide easier and more convenient banking services to clients.

Robinsons Bank is the financial services arm of the JG Summit Group of Companies, one of the largest conglomerates in the Philippines. It currently ranks 18th among universal and commercial banks in the country, with assets amounting to Php 131.088 Bn as of December 2019.

For inquiries and concerns, you may reach Robinsons Bank through its Customer Care Center at (02) 8637-CARE (2273) or domestic toll-free 1-800-10-637-CARE (2273); or visit its website at www.robinsonsbank.com.ph.

Try these easy sandwich recipes to refuel you after working out

Exercising at home has become part of our new normal and it’s probably one of the best things individuals can do for themselves. But after a hard session with one’s favorite fitness vlogger or virtual trainer, workout enthusiasts will definitely work up an appetite. Contrary to what people may think, it’s not always a bad idea to have a snack after working out. The key is having the right one.

Building muscle and replenishing energy usually depends more on one’s post-workout meal than their pre-workout one. What people eat for about an hour after their workout affects the results they get in the long run. A proper amount of carbs and protein are also essential for post-workout recovery. This can assist in rebuilding muscle and providing energy for more training sessions to come.

Here are some sandwich recipes that can be enjoyed with quality and healthy bread like Baker John Wheat Bread and Carrot Pandesal. Try these out the next time you’re craving for a post-workout snack.

Peanut Butter, Banana, Honey Sandwich

Ingredients:

2 tbsp all-natural peanut butter

1 medium banana, sliced

1 tbsp honey

2 slices Baker John Whole Grain Wheat Bread, lightly toasted

This provides a good amount of fiber, carbohydrates, protein, and a balanced level of glucose that the body needs.

Tuna Salad Sandwich

Ingredients:

1/4 cup tuna flakes, drained

4 tbsp low/fat free mayo

1 tsp onion, minced

4 slices olives

2 slices Baker John Whole Grain Wheat Bread

The mixture of tuna and olives help provide the body with much-needed protein. ! Use Baker John Whole Grain Wheat Bread for just the right amount of carbohydrates to build muscles and replenish energy.

Egg White Sandwich

Ingredients:

3 scrambled egg whites

1 slice low-fat ham

1 slice cheddar cheese

2 slices Baker John Whole Grain Wheat Bread, lightly toasted

Many people consider eggs as their go-to source of protein, vitamins D, B6, and B12, plus zinc and iron. This sandwich is mostly egg whites, giving the body more Vitamin B2, and has healthy goodness of Baker John Whole Grain Wheat Bread.

For those who prefer pandesal, a perfect and healthier option is Baker John Carrot Pandesal. It’s a good source of vitamin A that supports healthy immune system and bone health. These tasty buns can also help provide the energy it needs to keep one active the whole day, even after a workout!

It can be enjoyed it as is, or spruced up with palaman such as jams (strawberry or blueberry go well with this!), peanut butter, or avocado with cream cheese.

Try these treats after your next hard session to keep you on track and help you achieve your fitness goals. Check out Baker John on Facebook, www.facebook.com/BakerJohnPH, to learn more about the brand.

Shopee Powers Growth for Filipino Brands and Sellers with Enhanced Warehouse and Logistics Capabilities

Shopee offers a full range of warehouse and fulfillment support to help brands and sellers meet increased demand and to grow their e-commerce business

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, steps up its logistics preparations to help brands and sellers meet the increased online demand in the peak year-end shopping season.

As e-commerce in the region continues to flourish, there is a higher demand for quicker and secure deliveries for online purchases. Shopee offers a robust logistics ecosystem to help brands and sellers meet evolving consumer needs. This year-end shopping season, Shopee commits to strengthening its warehouse and fulfillment support for brands and sellers, enabling them to increase sales and maximize customer satisfaction even as online shopping activity peaks.

Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Quality and reliable logistics are integral to the online shopping experience. As consumers turn to and rely more on e-commerce, businesses aim to deliver more quickly and efficiently to remain competitive. With this, Shopee has built up a robust logistics ecosystem designed for quality, reliable, and scalable deliveries. We want to simplify logistics for brands and sellers by providing them with solutions that support their business needs. The initiative helps them attract more customers, increase sales, and grow their e-commerce business in the long-term.”

Optimized warehouse and inventory support

Shopee has an optimized network of warehouses that form the backbone of its logistics networks in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. They are integrated with the Shopee platform and leverages data to help brands and sellers ship out orders more efficiently.

In the Philippines, its purpose-built Warehouse Management System (WMS) uses data to make smart recommendations to trained warehouse teams, allowing increased efficiency from product picking to dispatching. The WMS uses data to forecast demand ahead of peak shopping periods so that brands and sellers can better allocate their resources. These services help brands and sellers to optimize their inventories and ship out parcels more efficiently, which translates to increased customer satisfaction and drives business growth.

Offering quality, reliable, and scalable deliveries

Shopee has over 100 logistics partners in the region who are highly familiar with local landscapes and provide quality services tailored for consumer needs. Brands and sellers on Shopee can tap on their reliable expertise and extensive coverage to reach customers.

Shopee also has its own Shopee Xpress fleet that specializes in e-commerce deliveries. It provides additional capacity and flexibility for Shopee to scale delivery operations during busy periods, allowing sellers and brands to ship quickly and reliably out parcels during peak shopping seasons.

Shopee’s logistics partners and its own Shopee Xpress fleet are closely integrated with its platform and warehouses. It means that sellers and brands have access to quality and reliable logistics support all year round and can easily manage and track shipments on Shopee.

Driving long-term e-commerce growth for brands and sellers

Shopee’s logistics ecosystem allows sellers and brands to grow their e-commerce business with confidence. Supported by quality, reliable, and scalable logistics on Shopee, brands, and sellers can focus their attention on other vital areas of their business, such as optimizing their product assortment, marketing, and sales.

Shopee’s robust logistics support has enabled sellers and brands to scale their e-commerce business effectively. Across the region, sellers and brands who use Shopee’s warehouse services sell more and ship up to 4 times more parcels than before. It shows how Shopee allows sellers and brands to deliver with higher speed, reliability, and efficiency.

Shopee also enabled sellers and brands to scale their delivery operations in times of peak demand. In the Philippines, the Covid-19 pandemic increased the online demand for Home & Living, Food & Beverages, and Fashion categories. Sellers and brands offering these items on Shopee were able to ship more parcels during this time, allowing them to meet their customers’ needs and grow their e-commerce business.

Yu closed, “As the year-end shopping season arrives, Shopee will continue to strengthen its logistics support and maximize growth for sellers and brands. For users, they can look forward to greater value with exclusive free shipping promotions from our trusted logistics partners across the Philippines. In line with our vision to power the future of retail, we will keep evolving our logistics ecosystem so that our users, sellers, and brands can unlock the full potential of e-commerce in the months and years ahead.”

Here’s how we can create an HIV-free world in the next normal

Inevitably, there are numerous issues of importance that have taken a backseat because of the ongoing pandemic. One of them is HIV, which has not only been a cause for concern for those in the LGBTQIA+ community, but the entire human race as well. And while the DOH recently announced that HIV cases have gone down by an astounding 68% in the 2nd quarter of 2020, they also note that it is no cause for celebration.

Whether the number of cases has truly gone down or is simply unreported due to lockdowns across the country, the fact remains that there are still new cases daily. In fact, before the pandemic, DOH statistics revealed that the country averaged 35 cases on a daily basis.

While we have movements and events like Pride Month that promote HIV-awareness alongside gender equality, bringing awareness to this cause, even while on lockdown, should not stop. There are actually some ways to raise the alarm and bring the issue of HIV to the fore. Here are a few:

Accept

A good first step—especially for those who are still on the fence and have reservations on the matter—would be to acknowledge and accept that people are free to identify themselves as they wish and that there is no one way to express one’s self and one’s love—not to mention that HIV exists. With this first step, individuals will have a much easier time trying to understand and empathize with each other and possibly help each other overcome challenges such as HIV, gender inequality, and other similar issues.

Educate

One of the many benefits of this fast-paced, digital world we live in today is that seemingly-unlimited information is readily available within our fingertips. This is key because part of creating an HIV-free world also entails learning more about it, the groups of people who usually contract it, and ways in which the virus can be eradicated.

Advocate

With a clear understanding on HIV, creating a world without it would mean spreading the word, engaging in discourse, and spreading your knowledge to uninformed people. In advocating, one can also learn more through likeminded people looking to express themselves as well.

Heed

Lastly, in order to disseminate information and knowledge further while building a sense of community, it would be good to take action and support calls and campaigns such as Durex’s “No One Way Love All Ways” Campaign that supports and promotes all ways of living and expressing.

“A big challenge in the fight against HIV has always been the lack of acknowledgement and proper education on the matter.” Said Dr. Rica Cruz, Licensed Psychologist, Sex Therapist and Educator. “While our current situation presents difficulties as physical events cannot be staged, the opportunity to use available technologies such as social media and online webinars can also be utilized to our advantage. These are excellent tools for spreading the word to a wider audience from the comforts of our home while still being safe in more ways than one.”

Various brands and sellers are ramping up operational and marketing efforts to offer an elevated shopping experience at 9.9 Super Shopping Day

Brands and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are gearing up for Shopee’s signature annual shopping event, 9.9 Super Shopping Day. With more Filipinos going online-first for their shopping needs, the highly anticipated 9.9 Super Shopping Day provides brands and retailers the opportunity to reach more customers and amplify their online presence.
