UNIONDIGITAL Bank (UD) reaffirms its commitment to empowering Filipino micro-entrepreneurs nationwide by championing the everyday diskarte (strategy) that keeps local communities moving forward.
Grounded in empathy, practicality and a deep understanding of daily realities, UD’s initiatives continue to make financial inclusion more accessible and meaningful, especially for sari-sari (neighborhood sundry) store owners who remain at the heart of many Filipino neighborhoods.
This commitment is further strengthened through UD’s continued partnership with Hapinoy, one of the country’s largest sari-sari store empowerment networks.

Together, UD and Hapinoy support sari-sari store owners as vital anchors of their communities. They are hardworking, digitally curious yet often cautious, and in need of simple, trustworthy tools that can help steady and improve their livelihoods.
UD responds to their needs by providing tangible, livelihood-boosting support, alongside a welcoming introduction to digital banking through the UD app.
It further commits to customer support through initiatives such as UD’s community rewards program, Hakot Papremyo with UD, which gives sari-sari store owners across the Philippines the chance to win a three-minute grocery shopping spree worth up to P50,000 during Hapinoy Caravans nationwide.
By empowering sari-sari store owners, UD inspires micro-entrepreneurs to take small but meaningful steps forward, build everyday money habits and strengthen their digital diskarte for sustainable growth.
