Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) is launching its new GoBayani savings
account designed to financially empower OFWs and overseas Filipinos with secure
and reliable banking services.
LANDBANK GoBayani is a digital deposit account that provides Filipinos abroad
access to the Bank’s digital banking services and conveniently perform their
transactions online, such as sending money to their families via fund transfer.
Accountholders can also perform e-commerce transactions and receive remittance
via Visa Direct through Visa partners abroad.
GoBayani users can also digitally pay bills and other dues, which will soon include
monthly contributions to Pag-Ibig Fund, Social Security System (SSS), and
PhilHealth.
“We are cheering on our kababayans abroad to save and grow their money through
LANDBANK GoBayani. We want to support every step of their journey towards
financial independence for them and their families back home,” said LANDBANK
President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
LANDBANK is set to visit overseas Filipinos in United Arab Emirates, Japan, Hong
Kong and Taiwan in June to promote LANDBANK GoBayani and other digital banking
services.
Open a GoBayani account via the LANDBANK app
Overseas Filipinos can fully open a LANDBANK GoBayani savings account with no
initial deposit and maintaining balance via their smartphones within minutes,
through the new straight-through account opening feature of the LANDBANK Mobile
Banking App (MBA).
“Investing in our digital infrastructure forms part of our response to the increasing
demand for convenient digital solutions. We are continuously enhancing our digital
offerings to deliver a seamless banking experience to our customers and expand
financial access to all,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Ortiz.
Aside from GoBayani, customers can also open a LANDBANK PISO Plus basic deposit
account and a regular LANDBANK Visa debit account through the MBA to help build
their savings and start their financial journey.
The LANDBANK MBA is a free application that offers seamless and convenient online
fund transfers, bills payment, balance inquiry, and salary loan services. Using the
MBA, LANDBANK customers also enjoy free fund transfers to other banks via
InstaPay and PESONet for the first three transactions in a day worth P1,000 and
below.
To open a LANDBANK account, interested clients need only their smartphones
downloaded with the latest version of the LANDBANK MBA, a secure Internet
connection, and any of the following valid identification cards: Philippine Passport,
Driver’s License, SSS, UMID, PRC ID, or PhilSys ID.
