BPI stock: Globe deal opens data-free app access

BPI announced a digital-banking partnership with Globe Telecom and Touch Mobile on Monday, November 9, 2026. The arrangement allows Globe and TM subscribers to open the BPI app without mobile-data charges, according to GMA News.

Digital access broadens customer reach

The service has been available since November 5. Eligible customers can check balances, transfer funds, pay bills and scan QR codes in the BPI app without using their mobile data.

BPI said the no-data arrangement will eventually extend to VYBE, BizLink, BizKo and the BanKo mobile app. The bank's president and chief executive, Jose Teodoro "TG" Limcaoco, said the partnership could open additional channels for financial inclusion across Globe's network of around 67 million subscribers.

The agreement also gives BPI Gold and BPI Preferred clients access to Globe Platinum lounges through their privilege cards. For investors, the initiative highlights BPI's effort to widen digital distribution and reduce an access barrier for mobile banking users.
