The app, which has been developed and delivered by digital banking software provider Geniusto, is secure, configurable and enables Agribank to publish new services and product offerings in real time. This upgraded capability will ensure Agribank’s customers can bank seamlessly and with more efficiency than ever before.

Enabling Geniusto to deliver mobile banking services to Agribank’s clients is Oradian’s advanced cloud-based core banking system. Oradian’s flexible and extensible banking system uses APIs to power third-party integrations, allowing Agribank to rapidly add new features or launch new products.

As a result of this collaboration between Agribank, Geniusto and Oradian, Agribank is now better placed to digitally transform and better serve rural communities across the Philippines.

Danny Boy Antonio, President and CEO at Agribank said:

“Exciting times lie ahead for Agribank indeed as we embark on our digital transformation journey. Agribank dedicates its efforts to ensuring that every Filipino is given access to formal banking facilities and equipped with the necessary knowledge and information. Empowering them with a secure and reliable online banking platform is one of our magnific leaps toward financial inclusivity. Ang serbisyong pang siyudad, dadalhin namin sa kanayunan! Agribank is making every effort to uphold its corporate tag as "your rural bank that cares.

“At the center of all our efforts to improve our banking services lies our kababayan as we commit to serving the rural and underbanked communities by bringing them the next-generation banking experience”.

Matthew Edmunds, Chief Executive Officer at Geniusto said:

“By empowering both the rural banks and their customers with mobile banking, we allow the small institutions to remain relevant within their communities and to compete with the huge uni-banks and alternative financial services operators that have been eroding the rural bank’s traditional role.

“Small institutions can now provide a Geniusto secure mobile banking application for their customers that quite frankly is, in many cases, more advanced and secure than the competition from the uni-banks. The institution can build loyalty with their customers and provide an array of relevant services including loan originations, bills payment, and QR code payments within the community. The institution can now remotely onboard new customers, growing their customer base and ensuring long term growth and stability for the business”.
