BPI Partners with FAST Group on Digital Supplier Financing Platform
Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) partnered with logistics provider FAST Group on Oct 31, 2026, to develop a digital financing platform for supplier payments. The platform allows suppliers to receive payment on approved invoices ahead of contractual due dates, providing supply-chain financing embedded within logistics workflows. BPI contributes banking infrastructure and lending capabilities, while FAST Group brings its logistics network and supplier relationships.
The solution targets working-capital constraints faced by Filipino suppliers dealing with extended payment terms. Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed. The deal integrates banking services directly into logistics and supply-chain operations, reflecting a broader embedded finance trend across the APAC region.
