In a world where transformation is no longer optional but essential, UnionBank of the Philippines is stepping up to help organizations not just keep pace — but lead the charge.
With the pace of change accelerating across industries, UnionBank brought together over 400 top business executives, thought leaders, and innovation partners at a landmark event held at Shangri-La The Fort in Taguig City. The event, themed “The NextGen Advantage,” underscored the bank’s renewed commitment to institutional clients, offering them more than just financial services — but a co-creative partnership built for long-term, strategic growth.
“At UnionBank, we don’t just support your journey — we help you shape the path forward,” said Ana Aboitiz Delgado, UnionBank President and CEO. “We understand that today’s organizations need more than access to capital; they need a partner who brings vision, agility, and purpose.”
A vision for the next generation of business
The event served as a launchpad for UnionBank’s evolving Institutional Banking proposition, which combines the bank’s scale, technological edge, and human-centered approach to help large organizations navigate complex challenges — from economic uncertainty to digital disruption and shifting stakeholder expectations.
A dynamic panel discussion brought together voices from both the public and private sectors, including FoodPanda Philippines CFO Lhecks de Castro Jr., Supreme Court Spokesperson Atty. Camille Ting, Supreme Court MIS Attorney Atty. CJ Romano, and Microsoft Philippines CTO Lope Doromal Jr. (via ATRAM). Their stories demonstrated how forward-thinking organizations are using digital innovation to reimagine operations, enhance service delivery, and unlock new sources of value.
UnionBank’s own experts — including Treasury Consultant Jun Trinidad and Deputy Transaction Banking Head Erika Dizon-Go — shared practical strategies for future-proofing organizations through data-driven insights, intelligent automation, and seamless client engagement.
Partnership beyond technology
While technology was front and center, UnionBank emphasized that its approach remains deeply rooted in people and partnerships.
“Being a strategic partner means truly understanding our clients’ industries, anticipating change, and actively working together to build what’s next,” said Mimi Concha, Head of Institutional Banking. “Yes, technology is a catalyst — but it’s our human-centric mindset that makes the difference.”
Concha highlighted that UnionBank’s Institutional Banking model is built around listening and co-creation, enabling enterprises to tap into a suite of tailored, context-aware solutions that evolve with them.
A track record of innovation
UnionBank’s commitment to customer-centric digital transformation has earned it multiple industry accolades — including recognition for its cutting-edge platforms such as UPay, The Portal, and ePaycard — all designed to streamline processes, improve user experiences, and empower clients with data and control.
With proven expertise in key industries and a relentless drive to innovate, UnionBank positions itself not just as a bank, but as a long-term growth partner for businesses facing the future.
Leading together
As businesses brace for what’s next, UnionBank remains firmly focused on what matters: empowering institutions to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
“We believe the future belongs to those who are ready to adapt, innovate, and lead with intention,” Delgado concluded. “That’s why we don’t just imagine the future of banking — we build it with you.”
