In a bid to bring quality healthcare closer to underserved Filipino communities, BPI Direct BanKo, Inc., A Savings Bank (BanKo), the microfinance arm of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), has partnered with Generika Drugstore, one of the country’s most trusted names in quality, affordable generic medicines. Generika Drugstore is part of AC Health Pharma Ventures under Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (AC Health), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala Corporation.
This meaningful partnership bridges two essential needs often out of reach for many Filipinos: financial security and accessible healthcare. By working together, BanKo and Generika Drugstore aim to ease the everyday burden faced by low-income communities, where a single health emergency can derail a family’s finances.
BanKo continues to empower Filipino communities—over 140,000 micro-entrepreneurs have already benefited from its PHP18B loan disbursement. Discover how these loans are changing lives.
Under the partnership, all new and existing BanKo clients get free membership to the GeneriKard Loyalty Program, providing them access to exclusive perks and rewards while enjoying the benefits of quality, affordable generic medicines and basic healthcare services.
“At BanKo, our commitment to financial inclusion goes beyond providing access to loans and savings. We recognize that true financial well-being include the ability to manage essential needs, like healthcare, without compromising a family’s budget,” said Rod Mabiasen, Jr., BanKo President.
