Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation’s (RCBC) financial inclusion super app DiskarTech will roll out new features in collaboration with software and IT solutions provider, Multisys Technologies Corporation
As part of its efforts to push inclusive digital finance under the banner #HalosLahatPwede, DiskarTech will bring a better customer experience to users through the app’s new Pinoy e-games, e-commerce and e-government services.
“We are confident that with our collaboration with Multisys, we would be able to bring our digital banking services to more Filipinos and make it a part of their dailylives,” said Lito Villanueva, RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer.
Powered by Multisys, DiskarTech’s newest features would allow all its users to easily perform end-to-end online transactions with more than 20 government agencies such as passport application and renewal, clearances and certificates, among others. “Multisys is happy to partner with a dynamic and pioneering player in the industry, like RCBC. This strategic engagement will cover the most extensive features and services which the DiskarTech users and the public will greatly benefit from,” said David Almirol, Jr., Multisys President and CEO.
Another pioneering initiative is the re-introduction of Filipinos’ all-time favorite street games such as piko, patintero, tumbang preso, and more, in digital format. “We aim to help preserve our Filipino culture through these endeared games, and hope that by repackaging them into e-games they can live on in the hearts of millennial Filipinos,” Villanueva added.
The collaboration will also further expand Diskartech e-commerce feature and push its NegosyanTech livelihood program by enabling enterprising micro retailers and online sellers to create their online presence via the app. This will provide a complete setup from online payments acceptance up to delivery through various partner door-to-door courier service providers.
These new features are on top of free unlimited fund transfers to all InstaPay participating banks and mobile wallets, free cash in or deposit in over 30,000 touchpoints nationwide, bills payment, eload, micro insurance and telemedicine purchase with unlimited consult for as low as P50 monthly, and the annual 3.25% interest on digital savings.
With just one valid ID, any adult Filipino can easily create a mobile bank account in just a few screen taps, i with no required initial deposit, no maintaining balance, and no dormancy fees.
RCBC has been building a robust digital ecosystem with over 50 partnerships and collaboration across government agencies and private organizations to push DiskarTech in local communities.
“Our collaborations were also made possible by the Open Finance Framework strategy that was recently implemented by the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas, which allows for better interoperability of transactions across different financial institutions in the country. We are excited that new innovations in financial technology are being rolled out for the benefit of more Filipinos,” said RCBC President and CEO Eugene S. Acevedo.
