Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) has launched a new automated payroll account opening solution as part of its strategy to reach a customer base of 20 million by 2026.

The bank’s Zero-Touch Onboarding system aims to streamline the payroll process by removing manual intervention from Human Resources (HR) departments.

According to UnionBank, the solution cuts the standard account opening turnaround time from up to two weeks to under 24 hours.

Employees can scan a QR code via the bank’s portal and complete the setup through the UnionBank Online app in minutes, allowing for salary crediting the following day.

Erika Denise Dizon-Go, Senior Vice President at UnionBank, described the tool as a precursor to democratised payroll, where employees have greater autonomy over their salary accounts.

The launch supports UnionBank’s broader growth targets.

Chief Marketing and Experience Officer Albert Cuadrante reported that the bank added approximately two million customers this year (including 300,000 new credit card holders), bringing its total retail base to over 18 million.

The bank aims to add another 1.5 to 2 million customers next year to reach the 20 million mark in 2026.

To support this expansion, UnionBank plans to introduce several new digital features, including online joint account opening and GPay integration for debit cards.

The bank also announced the upcoming launch of “RIA” (Respondent Intelligent Agent), a voice AI customer service tool designed to reduce contact centre wait times and provide 24/7 support.

Senior Vice President Rene Aguirre stated that the experience of calling the bank’s contact centre is expected to become significantly more convenient and pleasant in the near future.

Chainlink Reaches Critical Juncture as Saudi Bank Partnership Drives Institutional Adoption

Chainlink Reaches Critical Juncture as Saudi Bank Partnership Drives Institutional Adoption

The post Chainlink Reaches Critical Juncture as Saudi Bank Partnership Drives Institutional Adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Saudi Awwal Bank partnership opens door for $100 billion banking giant’s blockchain integration Chainlink exchange supply hits multi-year lows amid institutional accumulation patterns Analysts target $52 price level as token sits 56% below previous all-time high Chainlink has reached a pivotal moment as exchange supply drops to multi-year lows while major institutional partnerships gain momentum. Saudi Awwal Bank, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest financial institutions managing over $100 billion in assets, will integrate multiple Chainlink services for next-generation blockchain applications. The banking partnership marks a shift from Chainlink’s original DeFi oracle positioning toward core infrastructure supporting real-world assets and institutional use cases. CryptoQuant data shows LINK tokens disappearing from centralized exchange inventories, indicating long-term institutional accumulation rather than speculative trading activity. LINK Technical Setup Points to Potential Breakout Market analysts identify a classic double bottom pattern formation in LINK’s price structure, with current levels testing key resistance around the pattern’s neckline. A confirmed breakout above this technical level could signal a major trend reversal after extended consolidation. The combination of reduced exchange liquidity and institutional adoption creates conditions that could amplify price volatility once capital inflows return. However, the distinction between partnership announcements and actual revenue generation remains crucial, as integration announcements don’t immediately guarantee trading volume increases. Recent collaborations extend beyond the Saudi banking sector, with Chainlink partnering with UBS and DigiFT to target Chinese real-world asset markets. Additionally, the Polymarket integration utilizes decentralized oracles for faster prediction market settlement, expanding use cases beyond traditional financial applications. Current price action shows LINK trading approximately 56% below its previous all-time high, creating potential upside if institutional adoption translates into sustained demand. One market analyst projects a return to $52 by year-end, matching Chainlink’s historical peak achieved during the previous cycle. The analyst noted that if Bitcoin reaches projected $150,000 levels,…
