BPI recently launched the Track and Plan tool on the new BPI app, which analyzes financial activities of individual users on the app and shares personalized insights on spending habits. This is in line with the bank's thrust on digitalization, customer obsession, and sustainability.

To achieve BPI's goal of enhancing customers' financial well-being and strengthening their financial literacy, the BPI Track and Plan uses Personetics' AI-powered and advanced data analytics solution to create personalized recommendations for over four million active digital customers, based on each individual's financial transactional data. 

With the introduction of the new BPI app, and the Track and Plan tool, the bank has empowered customers with self-service options for depositing funds, paying bills and other transactions. Partnering with Personetics, the bank is now strengthening its customer relationships with value-added advisory services and 20 out-of-the box hyper-personalized insights to help customers manage cash flows, make informed financial decisions, and save. 

Personetics' Engagement Platform enriches personal savings and debit card data and categorizes it in ways that are meaningful for BPI customers. It applies AI, machine learning, and natural language programming (NLP) models to the enriched data to generate, manage, and deliver hyper-personalized, easy-to-understand insights, and actionable recommendations. Personetics Engagement Builder enabled BPI Track and Plan to tailor insights to the specific sensitivities, behaviors, and concerns of their customer base, and rapidly generate new insights as needed.
