The new eco-friendly Debit Mastercard from BPI is composed entirely of recyclable materials

“Reimagining the BPI Debit Mastercard to become an eco-friendly card is a testament to BPI’s commitment to its values of sustainability and innovation. At BPI, we want to connect more with our eco-conscious clients while also encouraging others to practice sustainable habits. By using sustainable materials for our card, we hope to make sustainable behavior the default option for everyone. The BPI Debit Mastercard is still the same card that our clients rely on—stylish, secure, and now more sustainable.” ~Jenny Lacerna, Head of Mass Retail, BPI

BPI launches its new Debit Mastercard made from 100% recycled, PVC free plastic—promoting more sustainable everyday banking.

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has launched a new Debit Mastercard that is completely composed of recycled, PVC-free plastic in an attempt to encourage more ecologically friendly banking solutions. 

The new Debit Mastercard is free for both new customers who open an account through a BPI branch and existing customers whose cards need to be updated or are about to expire. Customers who wish to convert to the new recycled, PVC-free card outside of their renewal schedule can do so for a standard replacement fee of Php 200.

BPI is one of the leading debit card issuers in the country, with over 8.2 million cardholders nationwide. With the launch of the new eco-friendly BPI Debit Mastercard, the bank's efforts to provide Filipinos more responsible and future-ready financial products have hit yet another noteworthy milestone.

Customers can choose their preferred branch for pickup after requesting a new card online or using the BPI app. There is a fee of Php 200 for each card request made via these digital channels. To start the replacement process, those who are replacing an existing card simply need to block their current one via the BPI app. Depending on the location, cards can be picked up at any BPI branch in two to six banking days. Additionally, clients can receive help at any of our branches.

Beyond sustainability, the card features thoughtful design enhancements like a curved notch in the bottom left corner that increases accessibility and sets it apart from other cards by making it easier for users to identify and orient their card by touch.

BPI Debit Mastercard holders can still benefit from contactless transactions, safe online, in-store, and international payments, easy access to cash via ATMs worldwide, and 24/7 account management through the BPI app with the new card.

Through innovations like the eco-friendly Debit Mastercard, BPI continues to support sustainability while offering Filipinos practical, inclusive, and accessible financial products.
