Financial services confab to be held in 5 key cities

MANILA, Philippines - Online platform b2bpricenow.com will hold FinServ 2.0 on Financial Services Summit on May 24 and 25 at the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) in Pasay City. This conclave offers a venue for the underserved market to discuss and provide new ways to improve their personal, business and financial needs.

“Because the technology now supports how to service the unbanked [or those not yet in the banking channel], now is the time to come up with FinServ 2.0.,” said Edgardo B. Herbosa, managing director of b2bpricenow.com.

FinServ 2.0 aims to gather key industry players both in the financial and IT sectors, and bring major technologies, innovative services and solutions within the reach of everyone. This two-day conference will integrate significant programs, such as a trade show of technologies and solutions, hands-on-trainings for cooperatives and local government units (LGUs), industry seminars on financial services, and product demonstrations. What’s more, it will highlight the launching of the b2bpaynow online payment service.

“So the FinServ2.0 is basically the debut of the financial services industry itself, for the first time different sectors and businesses that cater to the entire financial service industry will bond together and showcase their company, services, products, etc. It’s like a coming out party telling the LGUs, cooperatives and SMEs [small and medium enterprises] that are with Landbank and those that are not, that these are now the solutions that the entire industry offer,” Herbosa noted.

B2bpricenow.com is endorsed as an official e- Marketplace of the Philippines by the Congressional Oversight Committee on Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization (COCAFM). Operating as a social venture more than a business, it will hold the FinServ 2.0 as its first trade show project together with Landbank of the Philippines as its co-presentor.

“FinServ 2.0 really is to help the industry. What we’re doing here is we’re getting banking solutions and accessibility to the ground. And we plan to do this annually,” Herbosa stressed.

For the benefit of visitors, such as Landbank key cooperative officers and members, SMEs, LGU representatives and walk-in guests, related electronic financial services and solutions will be showcased in trade exhibits and sponsor booths during the summit. They may also hop on to b2bpricenow.com, where they can rightly register on their website.

Entrance to the summit is free of charge.
