#FinancePH - EastWest Is Making Banking Smarter, Simpler, and More Human
In a world where digital convenience is king, EastWest is proving that innovation doesn’t have to be flashy to be meaningful. With a clear focus on making everyday banking easier and more intuitive, the bank is quietly transforming how Filipinos manage their money—one thoughtful feature at a time.
From mobile apps that simplify your finances to AI-powered tools that offer real-time support, EastWest is building a digital ecosystem that works for real people, not just tech enthusiasts.
Everyday Banking, Made Effortless
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, EastWest introduced EasyWay, a sleek mobile app designed to make banking feel less like a chore and more like second nature. With features like biometric login, real-time alerts, and in-app customer service, it’s a one-stop shop for managing your finances on the go. For premium clients, there’s even a dedicated EastWest Priority version with personalized services.
Business owners haven’t been left out either. EasyBiz is a powerful platform tailored for entrepreneurs and SMEs, offering tools to manage cash flow, track transactions, and handle collections—all in one secure space.
Komo: Banking That Keeps It Simple
For those who prefer a no-fuss approach, Komo by EastWest delivers just that. With a clean interface and essential features like fund transfers and bill payments, Komo is perfect for users who want control without the clutter. And with recent upgrades, over 95,000 EastWest Rural Bank account holders—many of them public school teachers—can now access their savings online and even apply for salary loans directly through the app.
Tap, Pay, Done: EW Pay
EW Pay is changing the game for contactless payments. As the first mobile banking app in Southeast Asia to offer tap-to-pay functionality without needing a separate e-wallet, it’s a standout in both design and performance. No wonder it holds the highest Google Play rating among local banking apps.
Smart Support That Feels Personal
Need help with your credit card? Just message ESTA, EastWest’s friendly chatbot on Facebook Messenger. ESTA can do everything from activating your card to redeeming rewards—all in one easy conversation. And behind the scenes, EastWest is also using GenAI to support its employees, ensuring faster, more consistent service across all channels.
Recognition That Speaks Volumes
EastWest’s commitment to customer-first innovation hasn’t gone unnoticed. The bank has earned several international awards, including:
- Most Customer-Centric Bank – ASEAN Fintech Forum Awards 2025
- Mobile Banking & Payment Initiative of the Year – Asian Banking & Finance Awards 2024
- Outstanding Digital CX in Banking App Platform – Digital Banker CX Awards 2024
- Most Innovative Smart Banking Services Provider – International Finance Awards 2023
- Innovation That Puts People First
At the heart of all this tech is a simple idea: banking should be easy. “Our role is to make it easier,” says Chief Digital Officer Harvey Libarnes, “so our customers can focus on the life they’re building—not the steps it takes to manage it.”
With every update, every feature, and every award, EastWest is proving that digital banking can be both smart and soulful.
