Davao dell Norte- On April 18, 2026, the first konekTAYO 2026, attended by 462 CARD Bank clients, was held at the New
Kaputian Gymnasium, Purok Tower, Poblacion Kaputian, Samal, Davao del Norte.

konekTAYO is an initiative of CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI) designed to assist CARD
clients who are not yet registered to the konek2CARD app, as well as those clients who have inactive
accounts. During the event, CARD MRI staff provide assistance to help clients access and navigate the
konek2CARD mobile banking app.
Through this initiative, CARD MRI aims to strengthen digital financial inclusion by encouraging more
clients to use the app. The program also intends to empower communities with more convenient, faster,
and more secure payment transactions while continuing to enhance the overall digital banking
experience.
“By visiting communities, our goal remains to bring them along with us in this journey toward digital
innovation. Beyond providing services, we take time to listen and understand their evolving needs while
walking alongside them, offering support in every step of their journey,” CARD Bank President Ms.
Marivic Austria stated.
The first konekTAYO was held in Davao City on November 14, 2025, with 350 clients from CARD Bank,
followed by a second event in Pangasinan attended by 511 clients from CARD SME Bank.
The event has a registration booth for those who are not yet registered in the konek2CARD app and a
reactivation booth to help inactive users regain access to their accounts.
As of March 31, 2026, the konek2CARD app has reached over 3 million registered users. CARD MRI aims
to increase this number further in the coming months while continuing to enhance its features to ensure
a faster, more efficient experience in the app.
