BANK of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has added the Express Check Deposit feature to its corporate banking portal as it strengthens its digital cash management capabilities.

“The Express Check Deposit feature on BPI BizLink is part of BPI’s broader push toward digitalization, allowing companies transition from traditional, manual deposit processes to a more seamless digital workflow. By reducing the need for physical bank visits and manual processing, BPI enables businesses to manage collections more conveniently,” the bank said in a statement.

BPI BizLink allows businesses, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and corporations to manage their cash flow, payments, and collections on one platform. It recorded a 23% increase in total enrolled corporate clients in 2025 versus the previous year.

The new check deposit feature now available on the platform is a variant of the Mobile Check Deposit facility, which allows designated agents assigned by a company to deposit checks using a mobile device through BPI BizLink.

As an added security measure, authorized agents are restricted from viewing account balances or accessing any other BizLink features.

BPI said the shift to digital from manual processing helps companies use their resources more efficiently, allowing their treasury teams to streamline routine processes and focus more on supporting business operations.

The digital check deposit feature forms part of the bank’s efforts to meet its corporate clients’ evolving operational needs.

“BPI continues to look for ways to make banking processes simpler and more efficient for our corporate clients,” BPI Institutional Banking Head Luis Geminiano E. Cruz said.

“As more companies adopt digital capabilities, we are also working to onboard other clients who can benefit from these solutions. Our relationship managers work closely with clients throughout the process to help ensure these are integrated smoothly into their operations.” — Aaron Michael C. Sy
