Making banking easier for travelers while driving greater access to Philippine destinations

As part of its commitment to making banking easier for travelers, East West Banking Corporation (EastWest) is renewing its support for Philippine tourism through a two-year partnership with the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) as the exclusive credit card partner and co-presenter of the 37th and 38th Philippine Travel Mart, the country's longest-running travel trade exhibition.

Building on its partnership with PHILTOA that began during the 36th Philippine Travel Mart in 2025, EastWest continues to support Filipino travelers through secure payment solutions, flexible financing options, and travel-focused credit card benefits.

During the Philippine Travel Mart, EastWest cardholders can enjoy one complimentary ticket for every qualified ticket purchase, applicable to both 1-day and 3-day passes, from August 1 to September 6, 2026. Cardholders will also have access to special deals and 0% installment payments at select exhibitors.

EastWest leads the way with Google Pay™

Among the first Philippine banks to champion secure, seamless mobile payments

EastWest takes another bold step in digital innovation as it becomes one of the first Philippine banks to launch Google Pay™, enabling EastWest Visa and Mastercard Credit cardholders to make faster, safer, and more convenient payments using their Android devices.

This milestone is part of EastWest’s deliberate strategy to redefine how Filipinos pay by leveraging technology to make everyday transactions simpler, smarter, and more secure. Through Google Wallet™, customers can easily add their EastWest cards and enjoy tap-to-pay convenience at any contactless-enabled terminal, or checkout online without manually entering card details.

Every transaction is safeguarded by advanced tokenization technology backed by EastWest’s trusted security systems, which replaces actual card numbers with unique digital codes. Merchants never see or store real card information; giving customers confidence and control every time they pay.
