“Applying for loans is also more convenient with Komo as users can apply for loans using the app in less than 10 minutes. Traditional bankers that are making the switch to digital will find themselves transitioning easily with Komo offering free physical withdrawals using your Komo Visa Debit card at any EastWest Bank ATM and up to four times free withdrawals in any BancNet ATM,” the venture remarked further.

All the customer needs to do is to create his/her digital savings account on the Komo app, with just one valid ID, a smartphone, and a stable internet connection.

Talking about Komo’s key products, we have the venture’s savings account services, where the customer can grow his/her money faster with up to a yearly interest rate of 2.5%. Then there is insurance, where one can customise his/her protection plan through the venture’s partnership with Troo Flex Insurance. Apart from the fund transferring services, Komo also has its loan services which come with lucrative features like fast approval, flexible terms, and competitive interest rates coming very soon.

“Digital banking is more affordable with Komo with no minimum deposit and maintaining balance features, and offering one of the cheapest fund transfer fees at only Php 8 per transfer via InstaPay.

Komo also empowers its customers to take control of their finances with features including financial calculators and educational resources to help people make informed financial decisions.

Komo has come up with a new product called ‘Analytics and Personal Finance’, which is the Philippines’ first-ever money management tool in a digital banking environment.
