Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) received two Philippine Quill Awards 2026 for programs designed to bring banking services closer to underserved Filipinos.
The RCBC ATM Go Agency Banking Initiative won in the Community Relations category, while the MySSS Card powered by RCBC DiskarTech was recognized in Marketing, Advertising, and Brand Communication.
RCBC ATM Go allows micro-entrepreneurs and other community-based partners to serve as local banking access points. Customers can use these locations for cash-in, cash-out, and other basic transactions without traveling to a traditional bank branch.
The service is available across all 82 Philippine provinces, helping RCBC reach communities where access to formal banking may be limited. Its communication campaign focused on building trust, working with local partners, and improving financial literacy.
MySSS Card powered by RCBC DiskarTech combines access to Social Security System (SSS) digital services, a digital bank account, and a debit card.
Launched in partnership with the SSS, the three-in-one service gives members another way to receive and manage money, make payments, and access banking services. The campaign focused on Filipinos who have not yet widely adopted digital payments or formal banking.
“These recognitions affirm our belief that communication is a powerful catalyst for financial inclusion. Whether we are bringing banking closer to communities through ATM Go or making formal financial services more accessible through the MySSS Card, the goal is to build trust and remove barriers for Filipinos,” said Lito Villanueva, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovations and Inclusion Officer of RCBC.
The Philippine Quill Awards, organized by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines, recognizes business communication programs based on strategy, creativity, and impact.
Earlier this year, RCBC was the only Philippine bank among the 2026 IABC Gold Quill Awardees. Its RCBC Pulz campaign received an international award for promoting a U.S. Virtual Account aimed at freelancers, remote workers, virtual assistants, and overseas Filipinos.
