Boosting Financial Literacy of Army Reservists

As an expression of its commitment to nation building and financial inclusion, Bank of the Philippine Islands recently conducted a financial wellness learning session for Philippine Army Reservists. This initiative reinforces BPI’s dedication to empowering communities—especially those who play a vital role in national security—by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to achieve long-term financial stability.

Aptly themed, “Resilient and Ready: Building Financial Strength for Army Reservists,” the session provided participants with essential financial literacy skills covering budgeting, savings, investment strategies, debt management, and retirement planning. These skills are critical not only for personal financial growth but also in enabling the army reservists to better support their families and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

“BPI stands alongside our nation’s defenders, empowering them through financial wellness and preparedness. By providing tailored financial education to Philippine Army Reservists, we are not only equipping them to manage their finances; we are investing in their future, their families, and the communities they protect,” said BPI Public Affairs and Communications Head Elena Torrijos.

This initiative also reflects the importance of public-private collaboration in nation building. By aligning its financial wellness efforts with the Philippine Army’s vision for readiness and resilience, BPI underscores the role that financial empowerment plays in fostering a secure and thriving society.

Through programs like this, BPI continues to build its reputation as a trusted financial partner committed to empowering all sectors of society, especially those at the frontline of protecting peace and development.
