The Financial Inclusion Steering Committee (FISC) chaired by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) launched the FISC website, a one-stop shop platform that aims to promote wider appreciation of financial inclusion as a national development agenda, during a program held at the BSP Manila Head Office on 09 October 2024.

“This platform will bring our efforts together to execute the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (NSFI) to a broader audience,” said BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr.

“We hope the information and stories on the website inspire everyone—those who need it and those who can help provide it—to work together to advance the whole country’s journey toward financial inclusion and financial health,” the Governor added.

Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Ivan John E. Uy said, “The DICT fully supports the FISC’s commitment to making financial inclusion a national development priority. Through consistent collaboration, we can ensure that every Filipino gains meaningful access to resources, enabling them to achieve financial resilience and progress.”

Aside from the NSFI, the website contains the latest regulations, issuances, and initiatives from the FISC agencies to help make financial services in the country more accessible.

It also includes a “newsroom” and a testimonial corner, where users can stay up to date on financial inclusion news stories and watch videos on the agenda’s positive impact on Filipinos, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which are among the priority sectors identified in the NSFI.

“By making these resources accessible, we move another step closer to a more financially included and financially healthy Filipino population,” BSP Deputy Governor Bernadette Romulo-Puyat pointed out.

Established in 2016 under Executive Order No. 208, the FISC is an interagency governing body that provides strategic direction, guidance, and oversight in the implementation of the NSFI. The FISC is also committed to enact the whole-of-government approach in promoting financial inclusion. The FISC website serves as the main information hub for financial inclusion news and resources and a platform championing the relevant initiatives of the FISC-member agencies and other stakeholders.
