“This initiative is more than just a competition—it’s a launchpad for fintech disruptors who are ready to transform banking as we know it and leverage networking opportunities,” said Lito Villanueva, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer at RCBC, and Founding Chairman of the FinTech Alliance PH.
Selected startups will have the opportunity to pitch their solutions to industry leaders, gain mentorship, secure funding, and establish strategic partnerships. Shortlisted teams will pitch live on March 10, 2025, at RCBC’s Digital Enterprise & Innovation Group (DEIG) office at ATY Centre, Bonifacio Global City.
