The agreement integrates the RCBC ATM Go agency banking platform into the Tambunting network to reach underserved and remote communities.
Currently, 57 Tambunting locations offer these financial services.
The companies plan to expand this deployment to 101 branches by the end of July.
Through compact mobile terminals, partner establishments can process cash deposits, QR code withdrawals, and international card transactions.
The platform also supports bill payments, mobile loading, fund transfers, and government benefit disbursements.
Account holders can now make cash deposits directly to their accounts through participating Tambunting branches.
