SAN PABLO CITY – On
April 18, 2026, the first konekTAYO 2026, attended by 462 CARD Bank
clients, was held at the New Kaputian Gymnasium, Purok Tower,
Poblacion Kaputian, Samal, Davao del Norte.
konekTAYO is an initiative
of CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI) designed to
assist CARD clients who are not yet registered to the konek2CARD
app, as well as those clients who have inactive accounts. During the
event, CARD MRI staff provide assistance to help clients access and
navigate the konek2CARD mobile banking app.
Through this initiative,
CARD MRI aims to strengthen digital financial inclusion by
encouraging more clients to use the app. The program also intends to
empower communities with more convenient, faster, and more secure
payment transactions while continuing to enhance the overall digital
banking experience.
“By visiting communities,
our goal remains to bring them along with us in this journey toward
digital innovation. Beyond providing services, we take time to
listen and understand their evolving needs while walking alongside
them, offering support in every step of their journey,” CARD Bank
President Ms. Marivic Austria stated.
The first konekTAYO was
held in Davao City on November 14, 2025, with 350 clients from CARD
Bank, followed by a second event in Pangasinan attended by 511
clients from CARD SME Bank.
The event has a
registration booth for those who are not yet registered in the
konek2CARD app and a reactivation booth to help inactive users
regain access to their accounts.
As of March 31, 2026, the
konek2CARD app has reached over 3 million registered users. CARD MRI
aims to increase this number further in the coming months while
continuing to enhance its features to ensure a faster, more
efficient experience in the app.
