EastWest Bank, in partnership with Visa, has officially introduced the BizAccess Visa Debit, a next-generation business banking solution designed to simplify financial management for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Combining a checking account, advanced digital tools, and practical financial features, BizAccess offers entrepreneurs the convenience, control, and flexibility they need to grow their businesses.
Simplifying finance for the backbone of the economy
With 99% of Philippine enterprises classified as SMEs, EastWest acknowledges that entrepreneurs constantly balance multiple roles. BizAccess Visa Debit helps them separate business and personal finances, monitor transactions in real time, and streamline day-to-day money management—all in one secure platform.
At the heart of BizAccess is the EastWest BizAccess Visa Debit Card, which allows business owners to make purchases, pay suppliers, and cover operational expenses with ease. Entrepreneurs can issue up to ten cards to trusted employees for expense management under a single account, improving accountability and transparency.
All-in-one account with powerful digital control
Each BizAccess Visa Debit Card is linked to a BizAccess Checking Account, which requires a maintaining balance of only Php 25,000. Through EasyBiz Online Business Banking, entrepreneurs can check balances, manage cash flow, pay suppliers, and handle government remittances and corporate bills via eGov—all from their mobile device or computer.
The EasyBiz platform also includes advanced security controls, such as the ability to lock and unlock cards instantly. Clients enjoy waived over-the-counter transaction fees for deposits and withdrawals, transaction alerts, travel accident insurance, and exclusive Visa rewards and promos tailored for SMEs.
Supporting Filipino entrepreneurship across industries
During the launch, EastWest and Visa recognized several standout clients whose success stories exemplify the resilience and creativity of Filipino entrepreneurs: Aficionado, Bosch Car Service, Colombo Merchant Philippines, Kenzo and Kloe’s Nature Farm, and Nacho King. Their participation underscored how BizAccess serves a wide range of industries—from retail and manufacturing to agribusiness and services.
“SMEs are the backbone of the Philippine economy, and we’re proud to give them the tools they need to thrive,” said EastWest CEO Jerry Ngo. “BizAccess isn’t just a debit card—it’s a business partner that helps entrepreneurs manage finances securely and confidently so they can focus on growing their business.”
Visa Philippines Head of Clients Sid Bada added, “Through this partnership with EastWest, we are making business banking more seamless and inclusive. BizAccess empowers Filipino SMEs to manage payments efficiently while enjoying access to Visa’s global network of offers and rewards.”
