<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2025/08/2.webp" alt="M2P's BIN Sponsorship for Philippines Rural Financial Inclusion" id="vdm04arfh">“Over 44% of Filipinos remain unbanked, one of the highest rates in Southeast Asia” - Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas report. The struggle is more acute in rural areas, where access to formal banking services is limited and digital infrastructure is lacking. As the digital economy accelerates, millions are left behind, unable to save, transact, or build financial stability due to the absence of even basic financial tools like a debit card.While thrift and rural banks are the heartbeat of Philippines communities, reaching the last mile, they operate with limited technical expertise and face significant challenges. Essential services like debit cards are out of reach for those who need them most, keeping families and businesses ‘off the grid’ of today’s digital economy.What if there was a way to bridge this gap, empowering the banks to offer the same sophisticated financial tools as their larger counterparts?&nbsp;This is the exact challenge that forward-looking banks and global payment networks across the Philippines are tackling with M2P as their trusted technology enabler.Through our&nbsp;BIN Sponsorship Model, M2P is democratizing access to card issuance, allowing thrift and rural banks to offer debit cards without the need for heavy infrastructure investments.This blog will explore how M2P is enabling financial accessibility, equipping smaller banks with the tools they need to compete in a digital-first world and ultimately driving financial inclusion across the market.&nbsp;Before diving into the impact of BIN Sponsorship Model, it's essential to understand the challenges these thrift and rural banks face. &nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="spk6miqxp" style="text-align: left">Barriers faced by Philippine Thrift and Rural Banks&nbsp;</h2>Thrift and rural banks often grapple with substantial barriers that impede their ability to offer comprehensive banking services, such as <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/elevate-your-banking-operations-with-our-integrated-debit-card-management-system-2/" target="">issuing debit cards</a>.The key challenges below highlight the barriers they face in accessing financial services.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="9pax010ki" style="text-align: left">Limited Financial Resources</h3>Operating on tight budgets, thrift and rural banks struggle to invest in the necessary financial infrastructure. The costs associated with technology acquisition, system maintenance, and regulatory compliance can be overwhelming.<h3 class="heading-node" id="odv5afrb0" style="text-align: left">Lack of Technical Infrastructure</h3>Many of these banks lack the advanced technology needed to offer modern banking services, such as digital transaction platforms, robust cybersecurity frameworks, and effective customer management systems. Furthermore, the absence of in-house technical expertise complicates matters, as adopting and maintaining new technologies often requires specialized skills that these banks cannot afford. &nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="ot7v8rcce" style="text-align: left">Regulatory Complexities</h3>Navigating the stringent regulatory landscape presents a significant challenge for thrift and rural banks in the Philippines. With limited resources, ensuring compliance is both critical and complex. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties and operational disruptions, while the constantly evolving nature of financial regulations demands ongoing updates and adaptations further stretching already scarce resources.Recognizing these persistent challenges, M2P serves as a trusted technology partner to simplify card issuance and enable rural banks to thrive in a digital-first economy. By leveraging M2P’s technology, these banks can now serve broader audiences and offer modern financial services that were previously out of reach.<h2 class="heading-node" id="f1v3op8zz" style="text-align: left">M2P's BIN Sponsorship Model: A Comprehensive Solution&nbsp;</h2>Our BIN Sponsorship Model allows smaller banks to issue <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/debit-cards/" target="">debit card</a> using the BINs provided by larger, sponsoring private sector banks.

Reaching the Last Mile: M2P’s Debit Card Revolution for Thrift and Rural Banks

<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2025/04/AI-Enabled-Personalized-Banking-2025-02.webp" alt="Artificial Intelligence in Personalized Banking" title="" width="100%" height="253">A few years ago, personalization in banking was more informal and largely based on human relationships, trust, and individual's banking history. The bank employees and managers personally knew their customers and tailored services based on their relationship with the bank. For instance, a long-term account holder, a senior citizen, or business owners/HNIs had privileges such as easier access to loans, priority in transaction processing, special interest rates on deposits/loans, and more.Today, personalization in banking is no longer a privilege but a norm. Consumers look for banking experiences that perfectly align with their unique needs and preferences. With the rise of fintechs and the adoption of AI, banks can now not only deliver hyper-personalized services but also do it at scale with far greater efficiency.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="k6ytubd2r" style="text-align: justify">What is personalized banking?</h2>Personalized banking refers to focusing on tailoring banking experiences and products to meet the unique needs and preferences of individual customers. In this approach, banks leverage digital banking platforms that use advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, to provide customized financial solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;By tailoring products and services to individual preferences, banks not only enhance customer satisfaction but also strengthen loyalty and deepen relationships. This shift toward hyper-personalized financial services is shaping a more dynamic, responsive, and customer-focused banking industry.<h2 class="heading-node" id="iabswxftf" style="text-align: justify">How is AI enabling personalized banking?</h2>AI-driven insights on customer interactions and spending patterns empower the banking sector, including retail, commercial, and investment banking, to offer engagement that closely mimics human intelligence and interaction. In short, AI has become the bank employee/manager, who deeply understands the customer’s relationship with the bank.&nbsp;From AI-powered chatbots providing 24/7 assistance to predictive models anticipating financial needs, here is how AI is transforming customer interactions and redefining the banking experience.<ol class="list-node" id="8hsrgc3fk"><li>Comprehensive customer insights</li></ol>AI systems analyze extensive data, including spending habits and credit consumption, to create detailed customer profiles. These insights enable banks to anticipate customer needs and offer proactive solutions. For example, AI can identify when a customer might benefit from a savings plan or suggest a loan precisely when it's needed.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="tkwqdjddo" start="2"><li>Customized financial guidance</li></ol>AI-powered robo-advisors provide tailored investment and savings strategies by assessing factors like income, expenses, and financial goals. Whether it’s guiding a young professional saving for their first home or assisting a retiree planning for estate management, these tools ensure personalized and relevant advice.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="xgrtnlbtn" start="3"><li>Tailored product offerings</li></ol>AI enables banks to align products such as loans, credit cards, and insurance policies with individual customer requirements. By analyzing real-time data, banks can recommend the most suitable products at the right time, enhancing customer satisfaction and driving higher conversion rates.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="luo3udso0" start="4"><li>Real-time customer engagement</li></ol>AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants redefine customer service by offering instant, personalized support. They address customer queries, recommend financial products, and provide timely reminders, alerts, and tips. These tools foster deeper engagement by ensuring customers feel valued and supported throughout their financial journey.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="19uz9plru" start="5"><li>Enhanced fraud detection and security</li></ol>AI not only strengthens security but also integrates personalization into fraud prevention. By detecting anomalies in customer behavior, AI can identify suspicious activities and provide tailored security recommendations. This approach builds trust and ensures customers feel safe in their banking experience.<h2 class="heading-node" id="mm4tck3hj" style="text-align: justify">AI use cases in personalized banking</h2>The potential of AI in personalized banking is immense. The below use cases not only drive retention and reduce churn rates but also boost customer value, making AI a vital strategy for businesses seeking long-term success.<h3 class="heading-node" id="1vj7vqvhw" style="text-align: justify">Product recommendations&nbsp;</h3>Analyzing the individual’s financial data, such as transaction history, income, expenses, savings, and investment patterns, banks can create highly personalized promotional offers that reflect a customer’s profile and interactions.&nbsp;For instance, an individual who frequently travels may receive special offers for flight bookings, travel insurance, foreign exchange services, etc. In contrast, a young professional with a strong saving history could be recommended investment options tailored to first-time investors or promotional savings accounts featuring offers/incentives for purchasing new gadgets, software, or other tech-related items.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="kn99gldmy" style="text-align: justify">Personalized loan and credit offers&nbsp;</h3>Banks and lending institutions can tailor credit products based on an individual's cash flow, credit history, and purchase behavior. This allows timely, context-specific lending solutions with better approval rates and customer satisfaction.&nbsp;For example, a small business owner with recurring monthly deposits and regular GST filings may be offered a pre-approved working capital loan right before their peak sales season. On the other hand, a salaried millennial with consistent rideshare expenses might receive an offer for a two-wheeler loan with flexible EMIs and instant disbursement.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="3nllmp3av" style="text-align: justify">Intelligent customer onboarding&nbsp;</h3>By leveraging data-driven insights, financial institutions can personalize onboarding journeys by identifying user goals and delivering relevant content, features, and product walkthroughs. This builds trust from the first interaction and drives faster adoption.&nbsp;For instance, a first-time salary account holder might be welcomed with step-by-step onboarding for auto-debit setup, goal-based savings, and credit score tracking. Conversely, a freelancer/gig worker signing up via a partner app could receive tailored onboarding for digital wallets, low-cost insurance, and daily payout solutions, right from the first login session.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="ehbe68nyj" style="text-align: justify">Personalized financial coaching&nbsp;</h3>AI-driven financial coaching tools analyze income, expenses, and goals to deliver personalized insights, alerts, and planning assistance, helping users improve financial health over time.&nbsp;For example, a user who regularly pays credit card bills late might receive automated reminders, interest calculators, and nudges to set payment alerts. Meanwhile, a new parent whose expenses have shifted toward childcare, and health might receive tailored budgeting advice, tax-saving tips, and investment suggestions for planning their child’s education.<h2 class="heading-node" id="2x6iygzoh" style="text-align: justify">Future of personalized banking</h2>The future of banking is driven by deeper AI integration, bringing innovations like voice-enabled banking, AR-powered financial tools, and predictive wellness platforms. As AI advances, it will redefine customer expectations, enabling banks to offer precise, meaningful, and impactful financial experiences.&nbsp;However, AI adoption comes with challenges, including algorithmic bias, data security risks, and ethical concerns. To unlock its full potential, banks must prioritize data privacy, proactively collaborate with regulators, mitigate bias, and overcome strategic barriers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="ktvy866lc" style="text-align: justify">Personalized banking: the way forward</h2>To navigate through the complex landscape and fully harness AI’s potential, banks need a robust, AI-powered personalized and automated banking workflow built for adaptability, security, and seamless innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;M2P’s data intelligence platform is a prime example of how AI and machine learning can actively be used to deliver hyper-personalized financial solutions.<h2 class="heading-node" id="v5vxg7g6v" style="text-align: justify">Strengthen personalized banking with M2P’s Data Intelligence Platform</h2>M2P’s transactional banking data intelligence platform helps banks turn raw data into actionable insights using AI and machine learning. It focuses on three key areas: analyzing spending, activating customers, and enhancing engagement.Analyzing spending: At the core of M2P’s data platform is a proprietary AI-powered engine that analyzes billions of real-world data points, encompassing financial, demographic, and transactional information. Banks gain deep insights into customer spending behaviors, helping optimize product strategies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Activating customers: The activation module uses gamification to encourage customer engagement, reactivating dormant users and driving higher transactions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Enhancing engagement: The personalized front-end module transforms banking experiences with visually stunning and user-friendly tailored offers to your customers, driving engagement, loyalty, and revenue growth.&nbsp;Additionally, our one-of-a-kind, comprehensive module Automate Portfolio Management enables seamless brand partnership management, workflow automation, and robust data visualization ​and extraction. This ensures customers receive relevant offers through personalized campaigns.&nbsp;By leveraging AI-enabled solutions to understand customer behavior and deliver tailored experiences, M2P empowers banks to create a new era of hyper-personalized financial services.&nbsp;All in all, as AI continues to redefine banking, the ability to harness data for personalization will be a game-changer.

It aids FIs in maintaining regulatory compliance by providing a centralized platform for creating, delivering, and tracking compliance training modules, ensuring all employees receive the necessary training, and generating detailed reports for auditing.&nbsp;Loan Origination System (LOS), on the other hand, processes and appraises loan applications. Employing workflow technology, LOS controls, and monitors loan processing to reduce delays and inefficiencies associated with paper documents. It covers the entire loan origination process, from application submission to fund disbursal or application decline.&nbsp;Both LMS and LOS optimize the loan lifecycle, automate lending processes, and provide tailored features that seamlessly integrate with existing systems, resulting in lower costs, higher efficiency, and increased customer satisfaction.<h2 class="heading-node" id="yrgcsqaki" style="text-align: left">5. Fraud Detection Module</h2>Fraud Detection Module benefits FIs by preventing illegal or destructive activities before they occur.

By integrating advanced real-time alerts, biometric authentication, and zero-trust principles, FIs can efficiently detect and mitigate fraudulent activities, thus bolstering stakeholder trust and compliance.<h2 class="heading-node" id="75ky2r0ne" style="text-align: left">6. Expense Management Module</h2>The Expense Management Module aids customers in methodically overseeing and controlling expenses, ensuring that budgets are not just created but strictly adhered to. Through systematic monitoring, the module ensures optimal utilization of financial resources for smarter financial decisions. It further optimizes reimbursement processes, reduces errors, and contributes to overall improvement.<h2 class="heading-node" id="o1r1nzx4h" style="text-align: left">7. Tax Module</h2>The Tax Module maintains financial integrity and manages taxes with automated precision, from income to corporate. This eases tax-related responsibilities for FIs and their customers. Integrating the tax module enhances efficiency in handling tax obligations, contributing to smarter, simpler, and more secure modern banking practices.&nbsp;All the core banking modules discussed above operate seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and secure banking experience.

It involves a fundamental shift in how banks think, operate, and deliver customer value. The goal of digital transformation is to leverage platformization and technology to unlock speed and innovation and optimize cost and operations while managing security and resilience.In India, the central government has embarked on a journey of digital transformation with the aim of enhancing the banking experience, social security, and financial inclusion. This transformation involves a shift from legacy systems to digital core banking, enabling more efficient and accessible financial services for the masses.<h2 class="heading-node" id="z074t0cvy" style="text-align: left">Big shift: Legacy to Digital Core Banking &nbsp;</h2>Core banking has <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/future-of-core-banking-systems/">evolved in leaps and bounds</a>. What started out as a simple computerized banking system with monolithic codes and mainframes in the 70s has metamorphosed into low-code, API-first, cloud-agnostic platforms today. This platformization has been a key development for banks, as they transformed from being only a system to a holistic platform. In the contemporary landscape, core banking systems are intricately connected with cloud architectural models, representing a significant shift in the way banking operates. This transformation can be dissected into several crucial layers as shown in the below image.<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2023/05/Turing-CBS-Blog-V4-02-1.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" width="100%" height="317">At the forefront, the interface/channel layer orchestrates seamless customer interactions, adapting to various digital touchpoints. Nestled within this framework is the concept of <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/banking-as-a-service-redefining-financial-services/">Banking as a Service (BaaS)</a>, allowing for modular, customizable financial services that meet the diverse needs of today's customers. Deeper still, we encounter the basic banking layers, the core components that manage essential banking functionalities. Supporting this entire structure is the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer, providing the robust foundation for this dynamic ecosystem. The synergy of these layers with the cloud architectural model has catapulted core banking into a new era of flexibility, efficiency, and customer-centric innovation. Core banking platforms give banks the agility to scale and fully leverage the immense potential of the ongoing digital revolution to satisfy customers, employees, regulators, and partners.Legacy core banking systems are filled with silos, code rigidity, and complexities. Though traditional banks have automated financial processes and have newer distribution channels, the legacy banking system hinders their agility and flexibility to adapt to evolving factors like customer journeys and preferences, ecosystem changes, and vendor lock-ins. Additionally, they also result in higher maintenance costs, slower time to market, and do not support instant releases.Next-generation core banking platforms break down these barriers with modern, scalable, and open architectures using lightweight codes. They leverage APIs and advanced technologies to deliver simplicity, cost efficiency, speed, interoperability, flexibility, security, and future readiness. <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/core-banking-essentials-types-components-advantages/">Modern core banking</a> systems play a crucial role in accelerating digital transformation for banks, enabling them to deliver a secure and superior banking experience to their customers. In the core banking stack, the customer's front-end layer acts as a link between the bank and its clients.<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2023/05/Turing-CBS-Blog-V5_1-1.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" width="100%" height="317">It includes the Customer Data Ledger, for secure customer information management, and the Loan Module for seamless lending. The Third-Party Module integrates specialized offerings whereas the user-friendly Front-End App facilitates transactions and portfolio management. The Payment Module streamlines transactions with multiple options and the Third-Party Front-End App connects users to external financial services. This setup prioritizes customer needs, data security, and convenience. By leveraging advanced technology, these systems optimize costs and operational efficiencies, creating a seamless flow of operations that benefits both the bank and its customers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="71ojb1j4t" style="text-align: left">Optimizing cost and operational efficiencies</h2>To keep costs in check, banks need to prepare to take on uncertainties by enhancing operational and cost efficiencies. The first step is to optimize costs associated with maintenance and processing. Modernizing core banking systems reduces costs associated with core applications and hardware processing by consolidating siloed applications. The process cuts down maintenance costs which are usually high for legacy systems.Digital core banking systems drive operational efficiency by standardizing business processes, eliminating manual operations, and implementing straight-through processing capabilities. It also assists smooth outsourcing of non-core operations and allows the operational proficiencies to focus on critical core tasks. By modernizing the core, banks can standardize and streamline end-to-end business processes, improve regulatory compliance, and expedite go-to-market speed for new products. They can seamlessly replace the siloed product-centric legacy system with a next-gen, customer-centric, and hyper-personalized core banking system.<h2 class="heading-node" id="0zuyzy83r" style="text-align: left">Further benefits</h2>Core banking solutions offer a comprehensive platform for banks to gain accurate insights into their accounts. They provide a range of capabilities that include customer onboarding, customer relationship management, account opening, loan origination workflow, credit analysis, deposit accounts, instant reporting, and enterprise content management. The end-to-end platform spans across business lines and enables banks to streamline operations and efficiently manage their accounts from a single system.

This was primarily due to the lack of smartphones, payment cards, and the inability to remember passcodes or PINs.To ensure digital financial services are accessible to all, Turing supports the Aadhaar-enabled Payment Systems (AePS).Aadhaar Enabled Payment System has the potential to revolutionize digital financial services in India by providing universal access to financial services. This system allows individuals to conduct financial transactions using their Aadhaar ID and biometric authentication, thus eliminating the need for a smartphone or payment card and to remember passcodes or PINs.<h2 class="heading-node" id="7odd7zpxu" style="text-align: left">What is Aadhaar-enabled Payment System?</h2>AePS is a unique payment system that allows anyone with an Aadhaar-enabled bank account to access online transactions via micro-ATM, kiosks, or mobile devices using Aadhaar authentication. With this system, users need not visit a bank branch to deposit cash, transfer money, and withdraw funds from their bank account without using a smartphone, payment card, or any other document.To know more about Aadhaar Enabled Payment System, <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/revolutionizing-financial-inclusion-aadhaar-enabled-payment-system-aeps/">click here.</a><h2 class="heading-node" id="b6sj0yjdt" style="text-align: left">AePS implementation - Gayatri Bank</h2>We deployed Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AePS) for Gayatri Bank, a cooperative urban bank in Telangana that offers economic support and hassle-free digitized financial services to underbanked and unbanked populations in India.<h2 class="heading-node" id="p87o5froi" style="text-align: left">Pain points&nbsp;</h2>At Gayatri Bank, most transactions involved senior citizens, and less tech-savvy customers from remote unbanked corners. For them possessing a smartphone or remembering PINs is a huge challenge. Thus, they were not able to access digital banking services.Gayatri bank needed assistance in fixing this problem and facilitating hassle-free financial access to people across all parts of society. Another major challenge was the cost involved in opening new branches and ATMs and issuing cheque books, cards and managing the KYC process. In underbanked rural areas, getting KYC documents in order and enabling efficient usage of branches and ATM machines is still a struggle for banks as well as customers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="shoqo5hhz" style="text-align: left">How we resolved challenges and future-proofed transactions?&nbsp;</h2>We understood that Gayatri Bank required a fintech partner to enable AEPS implementation and manage UIDAI authentication across their branches and business correspondent network in India. This was a strategic, futuristic move for Gayatri Bank to drive inclusion, electronify retail payments, achieve interoperability, reach more customers, and cut costs.We powered the AePS switch and helped customers use their Aadhaar number and fingerprint as an identity to perform the following transactions via business correspondents.<ul class="list-node" id="v912ticfi"><li>Cash deposits</li><li>Cash withdrawals</li><li>Intrabank or interbank fund transfers</li><li>Balance enquiries</li><li>Mini statement printing</li></ul>We securely routed Aadhaar-initiated interbank transactions via central switching and clearing agency and enabled disbursements of Government entitlements under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), social security pensions, and handicapped old age pension schemes.Gayatri Bank was able to cut costs by engaging with business correspondent agents to facilitate Aadhaar-enabled transactions instead of investing in new branches, ATMs, cheque book, and cards. These agents increase the penetration of financial services, as anyone is able to visit them to get transactions done with just an Aadhaar number and biometric identification.In a nutshell, we built a solid foundation for Gayatri Bank to run a full-fledged Aadhaar Enabled Banking Service across India.<h2 class="heading-node" id="p7zw9m1jc" style="text-align: left">Results achieved</h2>On the very first day of AePS going live, over 500 business correspondents were onboarded from remote locations.
