PROVING its status anew as an industry trailblazer, Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) recently achieved another first in the industry after securing a Certificate of Authority from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to operate as a virtual asset service provider (VASP), making it the first and only universal bank in the Philippines to offer virtual asset exchange services.

With the full VASP license from the BSP, the bank can now extend virtual asset exchange services to a broader base of UnionBank customers through the award-winning UnionBank Online app.
