In particular, DiskarTech launched a basic deposit account and insurance products for teachers through the Gabay Guro mobile app of the PLDT-Smart Foundation.
“Teachers can now avail of the financial products of DiskarTech without even leaving their houses. It is a one-stop shop. It’s like you guys going to school and then going to work and then going to the bank at the same time,” Gabay Guro Chairman Chaye Cabal-Revilla.
For OFWs, DiskarTech said they are looking to offer in-app loans.
Up to P500,000 can be borrowed by land-based and seafaring Filipino workers abroad.
