EastWest, in partnership with Visa, has launched BizAccess Visa Debit, a new business solution that comes with a checking account, digital tools, and other practical features designed to give entrepreneurs ease, efficiency, and control in managing their finances.
With 99% of businesses in the Philippines classified as SMEs, EastWest recognizes that entrepreneurs juggle multiple responsibilities every day. BizAccess Visa Debit simplifies money management by helping SME owners separate business from personal funds, track transactions in real time, and access essential tools to keep their operations running smoothly.
The EastWest BizAccess Visa Debit Card is at the center of the BizAccess experience. It gives entrepreneurs a secure and convenient way to manage everyday business transactions, from purchases and supplier payments to other business-related expenses.
Business owners may issue up to ten cards to their staff, making it easier to manage expenses and monitor transactions in one account. The card comes with travel accident insurance, transaction notifications, and access to exclusive Visa promos and rewards for SME clients. With a welcome offer and waived over-the-counter fees for deposits and withdrawals, the BizAccess Visa Debit Card makes business banking simpler, safer, and more rewarding.
The card comes with a BizAccess Checking Account, which requires a minimum maintaining balance of Php 25,000. Entrepreneurs can manage this account through EasyBiz Online Business Banking, giving them full control over their finances. They can view balances, monitor transactions, pay suppliers, and manage cash flow anytime, anywhere. The platform also enables SMEs to process government payments via eGov, pay corporate bills, and handle other essential transactions efficiently, allowing them to spend less time on administration and more time on growth. Card lock and unlock features are also available through EasyBiz, giving users added control and security over their accounts.
The BizAccess Visa Debit Card also includes travel accident insurance, transaction notifications, and access to exclusive Visa promos and rewards for SME clients.
