Nanay Monica from San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, likewise expressed her gratitude for tailor-fitting this product to her needs and capabilities, allowing her to save the income she receives from selling snacks and chips in the morning, and balut in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>The BDA-inspired Pangarap savings was immediately subscribed by the community, generating over P1.1 million worth of deposits in 8 days since its launch in June 19, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis only tells us that when financial products and services are designed and offered around the customers\u2019 realities and pain points, easier acceptance and adoption can be expected,\u201d Roxas adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In support of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas\u2019 (BSP) thrust towards financial inclusion, RCBC\u2019s Rizal Microbank (RMB) remains steadfast in bringing financial products and services to its mandated market segments in a more convenient and accessible manner.
