Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) said it has a new logistics partner in NinJa Van Philippines, subsidiary of Ninja Logistics Pte Ltd. of Singapore.
BPI Head for Transformation and Business Management Ricardo Peña said Monday, Oct. 2, that the deal should support businesses of all sizes via hassle-free deliveries since Ninja Van services will tap the bank’s network of more than 700 branches across the country.
“Our focus on innovation, digitalization, and customer obsession continues to drive us to provide more services that will make our customers’ lives easier and better. We are excited to work with Ninja Van, with whom we share this commitment,” said Peña.
BPI said the deal will allow Ninja Van to deliver bank documents to various BPI clients and branches nationwide and “utilizing its tech-enabled logistics facilities and processes to ensure secure and timely deliveries to support the bank’s operations.”
The BPI and Ninja Van partnership improve the logistics solutions to Filipino businesses especially bank clients.
“We are grateful and excited to work with BPI, and through our expertise in tech-driven logistics solutions, we hope to support the bank in delivering even better services to their branches and customers,” said Ninja Van Philippines Chief Commercial Officer Sabina Lopez-Vergara.
Ninja Van is considered a “trusted logistics partner” not just of micro, small and medium enterprises or MSMEs, but also the large e-commerce platforms such as Lazada, TikTok Shop, Amazon, and Shein.
Last year, Ninja Van became the first private courier service provider to be accredited by the Supreme Court, noted BPI.
“The Philippines hosts the Ninja Van Group’s largest automated sorting hub in the region, located in Cabuyao, Laguna. The company’s nationwide hassle-free logistics solutions reach more than 17 million Filipino shoppers,” added BPI. Besides the Philippines, the logistics firm also has sorting warehouses in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar.
