The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) continues to expand its financial wellness ecosystem as Pretiolas Philippines Inc., the company behind Auntie Anne’s in the Philippines, adopts BPI Salary On-Demand for its employees.

(L-R): Pretiolas Philippines Inc.’s Marie Trician Tagavilla, Support Services Manager, and Jose Mikkel Paris, Chief Executive Officer, with BPI’s Bong Lualhati, Product Management Head for Agency Banking, and Noel Marcos, Commercial Banking Head for Institutional Banking.

The partnership underscores BPI’s commitment to helping Filipino workers build healthier financial habits by providing timely access to earned wages through secure and responsible digital solutions. As financial pressures and day-to-day expenses continue to impact households, BPI is working with employers to deliver workplace benefits that support employees’ financial resilience and overall well-being.

Through BPI Salary On-Demand, which is not a loan, Auntie Anne’s employees can access a portion of their earned wages ahead of payday, helping them better manage cash flow, handle unexpected expenses, and avoid reliance on high-cost borrowing options.

Using the PayWage app, employees of partner companies can instantly withdraw their earned wages anytime, giving them greater flexibility and control over their finances.

“BPI is dedicated to empowering Filipino employees with secure and timely financial solutions. BPI Salary On-Demand enables employees to bridge temporary financial gaps with confidence,” said Rally Jereza, Head of Agency Banking.

For Auntie Anne’s, the initiative reflects its commitment to putting people at the center of its business.

“Our employees are at the heart of everything we do and play a critical role in our continued growth,” said Jose Mikkel Paris, CEO of Pretiolas Philippines, Inc. “Providing more than 500 of our team members with access to their earned salaries when needed is a meaningful way to support their financial well-being and strengthen workplace trust.”

As more organizations recognize the link between financial wellness and workforce engagement, BPI continues to lead efforts to modernize payroll and workplace financial solutions in the Philippines. Through innovations such as Salary On-Demand, BPI is helping businesses deliver relevant employee benefits while advancing its broader mission of promoting financial inclusion and economic empowerment.
