Women are slowly but surely gaining a foothold when it comes to holding leadership positions. According to the 2024 Women in Business report of consulting firm Grant Thornton, the upward trend of women in senior management positions rose to 33.5% in 2023, up from 32% and 31% in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The rise of the “girlboss” – defined as an ambitious and successful woman – is a positive step towards gender equality.
Females being in charge also extend beyond the workplace, with women finding new ways to be financially empowered as well – maximizing their savings, hitting their money goals, and managing their spending wisely. To further support go-getting females this Women’s Month, CIMB Bank Philippines, a digital-only commercial bank, shares some ways how Filipinas can #girlboss their finances through its suite of innovative banking products:
Maximize your savings, grow your wealth
A true boss knows that every peso counts, regardless if it’s a peso saved, earned, or spent. When it comes to saving, opting to keep your funds in bank accounts that offer the highest interest rates available is key, as it helps you earn more money simply by holding on to your money. Savings accounts like UpSave and GSave by CIMB Bank PH offer base interest rates higher than traditional banks and can even go even higher with CIMB’s high interest promos. This helps your savings earn as much interest as it can, making your money grow even as you sleep – a true boss move.
Spend smart, spend well
When spending your hard-earned cash, finding ways to make it as convenient and seamless as possible can take an extra load off your shoulders to give you more time to handle other things. Instead of lining up at payment centers or malls to settle your bills, opt for online bill payment options instead, just like the Pay Bills feature in the CIMB Bank PH app. It’s wide range of billers not only include the usual basic utilities, but also options to pay for tuition fees, memorial plans, and many more. You can also opt to use the new QR PH-powered CIMB Pay feature to transfer funds, pay merchants, as well as settle bills with zero fees – perfect for everyday use. With these solutions, going cashless is easier, safer, and more convenient.
Plan ahead, achieve your financial goals
Girlbosses think ahead and are no stranger to setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Certain goals in life involve saving money, and keeping track of all of them can get challenging. With everything going on in a busy woman’s life, their financial goals shouldn’t have to take a backseat. CIMB Bank PH is committed to making their journey easier with the recent launch of the new Own My Goals (OMG) feature on the CIMB mobile app. CIMB customers now have an extra hand to assist them in making their ipon dreams come true, as OMG allows them to create multiple savings goals that they can easily track and work towards. These goals can also be linked to any of their CIMB savings accounts with an additional auto-save feature, which can further build up the discipline to consistently save for their financial goals, alongside regular reminders, prompts, and an in-app milestone tracker.
