Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) has launched a new automated payroll account opening solution as part of its strategy to reach a customer base of 20 million by 2026.

The bank’s Zero-Touch Onboarding system aims to streamline the payroll process by removing manual intervention from Human Resources (HR) departments.

According to UnionBank, the solution cuts the standard account opening turnaround time from up to two weeks to under 24 hours.

Employees can scan a QR code via the bank’s portal and complete the setup through the UnionBank Online app in minutes, allowing for salary crediting the following day.

Erika Denise Dizon-Go, Senior Vice President at UnionBank, described the tool as a precursor to democratised payroll, where employees have greater autonomy over their salary accounts.

The launch supports UnionBank’s broader growth targets.

Chief Marketing and Experience Officer Albert Cuadrante reported that the bank added approximately two million customers this year (including 300,000 new credit card holders), bringing its total retail base to over 18 million.

The bank aims to add another 1.5 to 2 million customers next year to reach the 20 million mark in 2026.

To support this expansion, UnionBank plans to introduce several new digital features, including online joint account opening and GPay integration for debit cards.

The bank also announced the upcoming launch of “RIA” (Respondent Intelligent Agent), a voice AI customer service tool designed to reduce contact centre wait times and provide 24/7 support.

Senior Vice President Rene Aguirre stated that the experience of calling the bank’s contact centre is expected to become significantly more convenient and pleasant in the near future.

It actually emerged later as an unexpected, but exciting, last-minute addition,” Kulechov added. The Aave CEO explained the reinvestment feature further as one that allows the protocol to deploy pool float into low-risk, highly liquid yield strategies, creating additional efficiency for LPs. The feature is somewhat inspired by Ethena’s rebalance to USDtb but applied natively within Aave.

Jessica Chastain And Nnamdi Asomugha On ‘The Savant’ Real Life Heroes

The post Jessica Chastain And Nnamdi Asomugha On ‘The Savant’ Real Life Heroes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nnamdi Asomugha, Jessica Chastain and Richard Gant in “The Savant” Apple TV+ She is an Academy Award-winning actress that does not shy away from challenging nor controversial roles. Previously celebrated for her outstanding performances in such films as The Help, Zero Dark Thirty and The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Jessica Chastain continues to have the unique ability to make audiences believe every word she says within her impressively layered portrayals and her compassionate approach. Her talents are that much more evident in her latest project, The Savant, coming soon to Apple TV+. Chastain plays Jodi Goodwin, an undercover investigator who strategically gains the trust of hate groups on social media, in hopes of stopping them from carrying out domestic terrorist attacks. Based around real people who secretly take on these difficult and dangerous jobs, The Savant is an enthralling new series, properly telling these uncomfortable yet necessary stories during this most divisive time in America. Back on September 5, I sat down with Chastain for an interview, alongside her The Savant co-star Nnamdi Asomugha, who plays Jodi’s supportive husband Charlie, wondering first what it was about these real people and this all-too-timely script that both excited and challenged them to want to join this series. Chastain said, “It’s always challenging when you are playing a real person because you don’t want to do anything that inadvertently identifies them, because it’s a dangerous job – what she’s doing. You don’t want her to get doxxed. You don’t want to bring any trouble into her life. So, that is the most intimidating aspect of it. The thing I’m most excited about for people to learn is that people do this. We spend so much time looking at the news and hearing these horrific stories of mass shootings, and it’s always too late.…
