Thursday of November 24, 2016 at 47th Floor Executive Lounge RCBC Plaza, Makati City relaunches of the RCBC Bankard Diamond Card. RCBC Bankard Services Corporation is a wholly owned subsidary of one of the country's top universal banks, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC).
RCBC Bankard Diamond Platinum Mastercard is more than just a credit card; it is also an affinity card. Through the Diamond Cares Program, cardholders are primed to lend a helping hand to those in need every time they use their RCBC Bankard Diamond Platinum Mastercard. For every Php 100.00 spent using the card, Php 0.20 is automatically donated to Gawad Kalinga's Kusina ng Kalinga (KNK).
The relaunched RCBC Bankard Diamond Mastercard carries with its strong advantages for its cardholders including a proprietary budget management tool, Spend Monitor, which allows cardholders to manage their finances better by allowing them to set their own budget.

The support of RCBC Bankard for the Gawad Kalinga's Kusina ng Kalinga is essential to the achievement of our goal to provide meals for one hundred thousand public school students daily." ~Antonio Meloto, Gawad Kalinga Founder
"As we relaunch the RCBC Bankard Diamond Mastercard we acknowledge that we, along with our cardholders can make a difference. Lives will be better, both for our cardholders, and for the children who will have a better future because we have all cared." ~Simon Calasanz, President and CEO of RBSC
