In a strategic move designed to empower its corporate clientele, CTBC Bank Philippines has unveiled a significantly enhanced Corporate NETBanking Web Portal, a testament to its commitment to digital innovation and customer-centric solutions.

The revamped portal, developed in collaboration with IT powerhouse Hitachi Asia, promises to redefine the corporate banking experience, offering real-time insights, streamlined workflows, and robust security features.

Recognizing the evolving needs of its diverse client base, encompassing large corporations and thriving small and medium enterprises (SMEs), CTBC Bank Philippines has prioritized accessibility and efficiency. The new portal delivers real-time access to critical financial information, including deposit account balances, loan balances, and comprehensive transaction histories.

This immediate access allows businesses to make informed decisions swiftly, optimizing their financial management and operational agility.

Beyond real-time data, the portal provides a comprehensive suite of payment channels, facilitating seamless local and global transactions. Clients can leverage popular domestic platforms like BancNet IBFT as well as InstaPay and PESONet, which have been key driving forces in the Philippines’ transition towards a cash-lite economy.

These platforms can now be leveraged by the bank’s clientele alongside robust international channels such as RTGS, PDDTS, and SWIFT. This versatility streamlines payment processes, enabling businesses to manage their financial obligations efficiently, regardless of geographical boundaries.

CTBC Bank’s new portal offers flexible workflow setups

For businesses dealing with high-volume transactions, the portal’s bulk upload features for payments and payroll disbursements offer significant time savings and operational efficiency. Furthermore, CTBC Bank Philippines understands that one size does not fit all.

The portal’s flexible workflow setups, ranging from single-approval processes to intricate multi-level matrices with customizable transaction limits, cater to the unique requirements of each client. This adaptability ensures that businesses can tailor their banking experience to align with their internal controls and operational procedures.

In today’s digital landscape, security is paramount. CTBC Bank Philippines has integrated robust security measures into the revamped portal, including two-factor authentication (2FA). This multi-layered approach safeguards sensitive financial information and minimizes the risk of fraud.

The portal also provides real-time notifications and immediate updates on transactions, enhancing tracking capabilities and enabling businesses to proactively monitor their financial activities.

This latest upgrade builds upon CTBC Bank Philippines’ previous collaboration with Hitachi Asia, which focused on redesigning its consumer-facing web interface and mobile banking applications. This consistent investment in digital transformation underscores the bank’s commitment to providing a seamless and secure banking experience across all its platforms.
