KMBI Kicks Off New Digital Payment Service with UBx Philippines

KMBI, in partnership with UBx, a financial technology venture studio under Unionbank Philippines, introduced a faster and more convenient way to pay loans with KMBI during the kick-off orientation on digital payments last June 10, 2022, at KMBI San Jose del Monte branch.

This partnership is a big step forward that will soon enable Program Members to pay their loans via different remittance channels, such as over-the-counter payment, online wallet, and bank transfer. This will reduce the need for Program Members to travel and deposit loan repayments.

Gracing the kick-off event were KMBI President, Mr Eduardo C. Jimenez; Deputy Executive Director for Transformational Development and Training Group, Ms. Hazel Christine R. Bayaca; UBx Chief Operating Officer, Ms. Irissa Yacat; UBx Managing Director, Mr. Jaime Garchitorena, and key representatives from UBx Philippines.

This digital payment service is available in select KMBI branches nationwide. Stay tuned for more updates on expanded availability in other branches in the future.

KMBI's Statement on the Passing of Mr. David D. Gutierrez

It is with deep sorrow and full faith in the Almighty that KMBI announces the passing of Mr. David D. Gutierrez. Mr. Gutierrez had served as the organization’s Chairman, and was recently involved in the leadership as Corporate Treasurer.

He will be remembered by KMBI as a father, a leader, a man of great faith, and a cherished Kabalikat to our staff and Program Members.

His faithful servitude to the Lord through his selfless leadership and tireless work for the betterment of the lives of countless Filipinos will serve as a cornerstone and inspiration for all of us at KMBI to press forward and continue the realization of our vision, which is “to see people in communities live in abundance with strengthened faith in God, and in right relationship with their fellowmen and the rest of creation.”

We enjoin everyone in prayers for Mr. Gutierrez’ bereaved wife, their children and grandchildren, that the love and comfort of our Lord may pour upon them in this time of grief.
