VYBE, the e-wallet platform developed by the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), has broadened its cash-in accessibility across the Philippines through a strategic partnership with Electronic Commerce Payments, Inc. (ECPay).
The collaboration aims to provide Filipinos with more convenient access to digital financial services, leveraging ECPay’s extensive network of over 4,000 locations nationwide.
Users of VYBE can now seamlessly top up their e-wallets by selecting ‘VYBE by BPI’ at any of the 1,300 ECPay kiosks available across the country, with the added benefit of zero convenience fees.
Furthermore, the partnership will soon extend cash-in capabilities to over 4,000 partner stores, encompassing supermarkets, pawn shops, petrol stations, and local sari-sari stores.
This initiative is part of BPI’s ongoing efforts to introduce innovative financial solutions, as exemplified by their recent BPI Awesome Travel Fair 2025, which offered exclusive travel deals to Filipino travellers.
By aligning with ECPay, VYBE reinforces its commitment to providing a free and secure financial tool to a wider demographic. The expanded partnership simplifies the process of adding funds to VYBE wallets, even for individuals without a BPI account.
ECPay’s widespread network plays a crucial role in enabling VYBE to reach a broader user base, encompassing both urban and rural areas, thus facilitating greater participation in the digital economy.
Such development is particularly significant in bridging the financial access gap for those traditionally underserved by conventional banking services.
“Our strengthened partnership with ECPay marks a pivotal step in enhancing VYBE’s accessibility for Filipinos nationwide,” stated Eric Faustino, Head of Digital Partnerships and Ecosystems at BPI.
He said that the company is also thrilled to offer users a straightforward and convenient method to top up their e-wallets and engage with the digital financial ecosystem, thereby fostering financial inclusion across the Philippines.
This collaboration represents a significant advancement in making digital financial services more readily available to a broader spectrum of the Filipino population.
