The Central Bank of the Philippines recognized 14 institutional partners of its head office for contributions to financial inclusion and literacy, retirement savings, digital payments, currency circulation, financial crime prevention and policy development. The cited initiatives included improving access to Personal Equity Retirement Accounts, promoting QR PH and tap-to-pay turnstiles for MRT-3 commuters, supporting the Cash Service Alliance and combating counterfeiting, fraud and money laundering. Following an earlier ceremony for North Luzon partners, similar events will be held in South Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
