MANILA, Philippines - Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) has installed several automated teller machines (ATMs) in the province of Batangas, and introduced its unique VeteranTeller All-in-One ATM-identification card.
PVB installed a VeteranTeller ATM at the Lobo municipal hall that will not only benefit residents but also the increasing number of foreign and domestic tourists.
In the municipality of Malvar, the VeteranTeller was likewise installed within the confines of the municipal hall, but is readily accessible from the town’s main road.
Aside from providing Malvar residents with access to much-needed cash, travellers and visitors will now have another means to withdraw money when they pass by Malvar.
Plans are also underway to provide all municipal employees of both Batangas municipalities with VeteranTeller All-in-One ATM-ID, which is likewise being introduced to all its clients.
It is a multi-purpose ATM/ID card offering the convenience of using just one card for your employees’ needs. The card can be used as a regular ATM card to withdraw cash, do balance inquiries, make payments via ATMs accessible via BancNet, Megalink, and ExpressNet. It can be used for online payments via the BancNet website or on online merchants using the BancNet payment gateway.
The ATM card can be tied up with PVB’s or a partner company’s salary loans program, serve as employee or company ID, and timekeeping card.
The card features a barcode which needs be swiped at the timekeeping kiosk (the kiosk also features fingerscan technology so that swiping the ID card is not just enough to merit an employee’s attendance).
The card can be used as a debit card for purchase at accredited point-of-sale (POS) terminals supplied by the bank.
And since the card runs on the BancNet network, it can be used to pay for goods and services at BancNet-accredited merchants, such as department stores, groceries, restaurants.
PVB is a commercial bank owned by over 300,000 Filipino World War II veterans and their heirs. It caters to both corporate and retail financial markets and is also an authorized government depository. Recently, former Finance Secretary Roberto de Ocampo was elected the bank’s chairman.
