Mother’s Day is often a reminder of how families strive to make life more secure for the women who manage so much of family life. In that same spirit of care and convenience, Manulife Philippines and Manulife Investments Philippines have integrated Manulife iFUNDS into the Manulife App, enabling customers to manage both insurance and investments within a single digital platform.
The move brings the insurer’s life insurance services and unit investment trust fund (UITF) offerings into one customer journey, reflecting a broader push to streamline financial management through digital channels.
With the integration, users can now access iFUNDS directly through the Manulife App using secure authentication features, including biometric login. While investment services are now accessible via the app, customers may still perform UITF transactions on the standalone iFUNDS platform.
Manulife said the update is designed to simplify how customers monitor protection coverage and investment portfolios, while improving accessibility across devices and platforms.
“As customers’ needs continue to evolve, they increasingly expect financial services to offer the same simplicity and convenience as the best digital experiences in their everyday lives,” said Rahul Hora, President and Chief Executive Officer of Manulife Philippines.
“By making iFUNDS accessible through the Manulife App, we’re creating a more connected experience so customers can stay on top of their protection and plan their financial future with greater ease and confidence,” he added.
The Manulife App serves as the company’s primary digital platform for policyholders, allowing users to view coverage details, pay premiums, update information, and access self-service features. Meanwhile, Manulife iFUNDS enables investors to subscribe to, switch, redeem, and monitor UITF portfolios online.
Manulife advances unified digital wealth experience
According to the company, the integration creates a more unified financial view for customers, combining insurance and investment data into a single access point.
“Bringing Manulife iFUNDS onto the Manulife App marks an exciting step forward in how we connect with our customers digitally,” said Aira Gaspar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Manulife Investments Philippines.
“This integration reflects our commitment to provide innovative wealth solutions that make decisions easier and lives better,” she added.
Manulife said the integration is supported by enhanced digital security measures, ensuring safe access across both insurance and investment services.
The updated Manulife App is available on iOS and Android.
In 2025, it was recognized as Insurance Asia’s Mobile App of the Year, while Manulife Philippines also received the Outstanding Digital CX – Life Insurance award at the Digital CX Awards.
The move comes as insurers and wealth managers across Southeast Asia accelerate digital consolidation strategies, aiming to improve customer engagement and reduce friction across financial services ecosystems.
