FLASH Express and UnionBank of the Philippines (UB) have partnered to provide online business solutions to Filipino micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly the online social sellers and e-commerce entrepreneurs.
The fastest-growing courier and logistics service company has exponentially increased the standard of the logistics industry, providing technology-driven and world-class pro-business logistics solutions.
UB has always been elevating the position of MSMEs through digital solutions and its new product innovations bring MSMEs closer to banking services that were before out of reach.
The goal is to tech up businesses in the country by future-proofing MSMEs ecosystems.
Atty. Sherry Lou Bernabe, Flash Express spokesperson and head of legal and compliance, said that the company is grateful for the opportunity to be across UB’s online marketplace.
“The main objective of this partnership is two-prong: to introduce and integrate Flash Express to the e-commerce business platforms of UB, and to provide logistics business solutions to UB’s clients by facilitating easy access to Flash Express’ services,” Bernabe explained.
Jaypee Soliman, UB vice president and SME and Micropreneurs Segments head for Customer Experience Group, said this partnership is a marriage of two innovative organizations.
“Flash Express will bring the technology of logistics and UB brings in the technology for banking and settlements. Combined, we will be able to tap more MSMEs and grow their businesses further through our robust courier and banking solutions,” Soliman said.
Reginald Rex Pumihic, Flash Express public relations and partnerships manager, for his part said that big things are yet to come for the company as they are planning to have more, building relationships among the companies in the industry as well as looking into partnering with different government agencies and local government units.
The said partnership will create more opportunities for Filipino MSMEs to speed up their businesses through UB’s marketplace platform, access to financial assistance and to Flash Express’ logistics services with ease and complete integration to MSMEs online business platforms.
