BANK OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS FUNDING AND GUARANTEE

When it comes to business, the more options, the better. BPI has more choices alongside homegrown products and services. BPI works in direct link with government financing conduits such as the BSP, DBP, LBP, SSS, SBGFC and LGUGC to offer funding and guarantee facilities to SMEs, multinational and other corporate borrowers. These facilities are available to a number of industries among which are production, storage facilities, distribution, services, agribusiness, transport, import/export, logistics and environmental.

BSP’S Rediscounting Facility

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas can fund up to 80% of the promissory note for short-term financing, with fixed interest rate for the entire term.
