资讯 UnionBank joins Metaverse

The country’s “most crypto-friendly bank,” Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank), announced recently that it will soon enter the metaverse by getting into The Sandbox, one of the world’s leading metaverse platforms. This UnionBank venture is a nod to its “Tech-up Pilipinas” advocacy and it aims to promote innovation by engaging and empowering the Filipino Web 3.0 community and artists through activities in the metaverse. “We joined The Sandbox because we want to be able to interact and engage with (the) growing Filipino community in the NFT and metaverse space. Metaverse services could range from crypto transactions, to the creation of NFTs, hosting of events, and connecting with new clients,” said Migui Planas, UnionBank NFT Lead at the Metaverse Center of Excellence. Planas also emphasized that venturing into the metaverse “is also a new market we want to capture. The metaverse is already being used by generation Alpha, the next-gen of customers.”
