By: CID, Inc. The KAP was designed to encourage children 12 years and below to develop the habit of saving money regularly via easy access to the participating banks’ deposit facility. BDO, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Allied Bank, China Bank Savings,Inc., Development Bank of the Phils., East West Banking Corp., Maybank Philippines, Inc., Philippine National Bank, Philippine Savings Bank, Philippine Veterans Bank, RCBC Savings Bank, and Security Bank Corp. have all committed to assist children with at least P100 to open savings accounts with them. BSP Gov. Amando M. Tetangco Jr. lauded the banks’ action saying that with their combined network of about 3,000 branches, the KAP makes the opening of savings account affordable and convenient in many parts of the country. The BSP is actively working together with the Department of Education to integrate the concept of savings and money management in the latter’s elementary education curriculum. BDO president Nestor V. Tan said this effort is part of the ongoing campaign of the Bank to provide products for small depositors. Even before the KAP, BDO has been offering, among others, the Junior Savers Club, a fixed interest-bearing savings deposit for kids 12 years and below. Shown in photo are the advocates of the KAP.
