UNION BANK of the Philippines (UnionBank) is poised to become the first universal bank in the country to offer virtual asset exchange services through its mobile app, marking another milestone toward future-proofing the bank while creating customer-centric solutions, powered by technology and innovation.

Through the new feature, UnionBank customers can purchase and sell Bitcoin (BTC) directly from the UnionBank without the need for a third-party virtual asset wallet. This eliminates the need for multiple apps and makes buying and selling BTC easier and convenient like never before.
