EastWest, in partnership with Visa, has introduced BizAccess Visa Debit, an innovative business solution that combines a checking account, digital tools, and exclusive benefits to help entrepreneurs manage their finances with greater ease, efficiency, and control.
With 99% of businesses in the Philippines classified as SMEs, EastWest understands the balancing act entrepreneurs face every day. BizAccess Visa Debit is designed to simplify financial management—allowing business owners to separate personal and business funds, track transactions in real time, and access digital tools that streamline day-to-day operations.
At the heart of this new offering is the EastWest BizAccess Visa Debit Card, which provides a secure and convenient way to handle essential business transactions—from supplier payments and purchases to other operational expenses. Business owners can issue up to ten cards for their team, helping them manage disbursements efficiently while maintaining full visibility and control through a single account.
The BizAccess Visa Debit Card comes with a BizAccess Checking Account, requiring only a ₱25,000 minimum maintaining balance. Entrepreneurs can manage their account anytime through EasyBiz Online Business Banking, where they can view balances, monitor transactions, pay suppliers, handle eGov and corporate bills, and manage cash flow seamlessly. With card lock/unlock options and real-time transaction alerts, business owners can stay secure and in control at all times.
Adding even more value, the BizAccess Visa Debit Card offers travel accident insurance, access to Visa-exclusive promos and rewards, and waived over-the-counter fees for deposits and withdrawals as part of its welcome offer.
“SMEs are the backbone of the Philippine economy, and we’re proud to give them the tools they need to thrive,” said Jerry Ngo, EastWest Chief Executive Officer. “BizAccess goes beyond being a debit card—it’s a reliable business partner that empowers entrepreneurs to manage their finances confidently, so they can focus on growth.”
“Visa is delighted to partner with EastWest in empowering Filipino entrepreneurs,” added Sid Bada, Head of Clients, Visa Philippines. “With BizAccess, SMEs gain access to trusted and convenient payment solutions while enjoying the benefits of Visa’s global network of offers and rewards.”
The BizAccess launch event also celebrated some of EastWest’s valued SME clients who embody Filipino innovation and resilience: Aficionado, Bosch Car Service, Colombo Merchant Philippines, Kenzo and Kloe’s Nature Farm, and Nacho King. Their success stories highlight BizAccess’s role in supporting diverse businesses across industries—from retail and agriculture to automotive and F&B.
SME owners and decision-makers can now apply for the EastWest BizAccess Visa Debit Card at any EastWest Store nationwide. Entrepreneurs can easily open and manage their accounts online through EasyBiz, making business banking simpler, smarter, and more rewarding.
