Universal bank EastWest named two-time Olympic champion Carlos Yulo as its newest brand ambassador as it celebrates its 30th year of operations in the Philippines.
According to Yulo, his partnership with EastWest stemmed even before his latest achievement as the bank helped him with his financial goals.
“Madami akong natutunan sa kanila, nagsimula lang ako ng simpleng deposit, ngayon meron na akong mga investments na nakatulong talaga sa plans ko,” Yulo said, noting that he shares the same mindset as EastWest to always push for improvement.
Yulo shared that while he’s been a longtime EastWest bank depositor and credit card user, the bank service that he appreciated the most is EastWest Priority.

“EastWest Priority assigned me a relationship manager who really guided me. Siya ang nagturo sa akin about investments and how I can grow my savings para I’m financially prepared,” Yulo said.
EastWest Priority is one of the bank’s services which provides personalized financial guidance through a dedicated relationship manager, premium banking products, as well as exclusive lifestyle benefits and wealth-building solutions.
For its part, EastWest highlighted the results of Yulo’s perseverance who started as the bank’s customer and has now become its endorser.
“Carlos Yulo represents the dedication and passion that EastWest stands for. His journey from having raw potential to being a world champion reflects the same path we aim to provide for our clients – guiding them toward financial success, whether through our priority services, consumer loans, or investment management,” said EastWest SEVP and head of financial markets and wealth management Rafael S. Algarra Jr.
“We believe this partnership exemplifies our service commitment – always pushing further for our clients so they can achieve their goals.”
