ROMBLON, PHILIPPINES – Netbank (A Rural Bank) Inc., the Philippines’ leading Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider, has officially announced the evolution of its flagship consumer platform. The app formerly known as Netizen has been retired to make way for Netbank Mobile, a robust, full-scale upgrade designed to meet the demands of the modern digital economy.

A Milestone in Digital Growth

The transition marks a pivotal shift for the institution, moving from a niche, community-focused initiative to a comprehensive mobile banking powerhouse. While the name has changed, Netbank’s core mission remains steadfast: providing accessible, reliable, and innovative financial services to Filipinos worldwide. This expansion allows for a broader reach, ensuring that every digital transaction is handled with utmost precision and security across the entire network.

“This isn’t just a rebrand; it’s a structural evolution,” said Mayette Cunanan, Head of Mobile Banking Operations. “Netbank Mobile reflects our growth as a fully-licensed institution, bringing institutional-grade banking features directly to the palm of our users’ hands.”

Next-Gen Features for the Modern User
Netbank Mobile launches with an enhanced user interface and an expanded suite of financial tools, including:
  • Zero-Fee Banking: A continued commitment to eliminating hidden charges.
  • High-Yield Growth: Savings and Time Deposit products with market-leading interest rates.
  • National Integration: Full QRPh support and seamless fund transfers across all major Philippine banks and e-wallets.
  • Daily Utility: Integrated bills payment and mobile load services for 24/7 convenience.
Regulatory Trust and Security
As a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) regulated institution, Netbank ensures that the migration to Netbank Mobile adheres to the highest security standards. Existing users are encouraged to transition to the new app to benefit from enhanced encryption and a cleaner, “no-fuss” user experience.
At Netbank, we understand that security is the foundation of digital growth. We are proud to provide our users with a superior level of financial protection: Deposits are insured by PDIC up to P1,000,000 per depositor.
