UnionBank Launches Automated Payroll Tool, Targets 20 Million Customers by 2026

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.

Kalshi outpaces Polymarket after pair feature in South Park episode

Kalshi outpaces Polymarket after pair feature in South Park episode

The post Kalshi outpaces Polymarket after pair feature in South Park episode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto prediction market Kalshi pulled in nearly $1.3 million more than its biggest rival Polymarket after they both launched trades based on an episode of controversial animation South Park featuring the pair. Kalshi had $1.5 million in volume on its “What will the South Park characters say?” market while Polymarket had a more modest $203,000 on markets speculating about what would be said and which of the show’s characters would trade. The episode in general poked fun at the absurdity of prediction markets, with platforms taking bets on whether or not central character Kyle Broflovski’s Jewish mother would strike Gaza and bomb a Palestinian hospital.  Another of the main characters, Cartman, bets that Kyle’s mother won’t bomb a hospital, but convinces everyone that she will so that the potential profits of his “no” bet increase. This market manipulation was called out by Stan, who described it as an illegal conflict of interest.  The episode poked fun Donald Trump Jr, showing him in an advisory role with both prediction markets. It also took a swipe at the perceived power the Trump administration exerts over regulatory bodies, with Trump Jr depicted as having an advisory role with Israel, being on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, and holding significant sway in the White House.  For their part, Polymarket and Kalshi, took the episode in good humor, treating it as free promotion. Indeed, Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan described seeing his company on the show as “surreal,” while Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour noted the episode “even got the referral bonus right.” Read more: Crypto traders ‘talking to lawyers’ over Polymarket’s Zelenskyy suit bet During the episode, South Park’s Fox News anchors describe the prediction markets as a loophole around gambling laws.
