Globe Empowers Cooperatives With Digital Transformation Tools

Globe Business is driving digital transformation among cooperatives in the Philippines, equipping them with innovative tools to boost member engagement, streamline operations, and achieve sustainable growth.

Cooperatives play a crucial role in addressing financial and social inequalities, particularly in rural areas. They provide essential services, foster community development, and create opportunities for those without access to traditional banking systems.

However, many cooperatives still rely on manual processes, limiting their efficiency and capacity to meet modern demands.

“Cooperatives hold immense potential to uplift underserved areas. We strive to bridge the urban-rural divide by helping them scale their operations, embrace innovation, and succeed in an increasingly digital world,” said KD Dizon, Vice President and Head of Globe Business.

With Globe Business’ information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, cooperatives can access tools such as Google Workspace for collaboration and M360’s SMS Blast for timely member communication, even in remote areas.

The shift toward digitalization is timely, as 60% of Filipino adults now own mobile phones and engage in online transactions, up from just 11% in 2019, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ Financial Inclusion Dashboard.

In partnership with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Globe Business has engaged cooperatives through roadshows, webinars, and the Metro Manila Cooperative Congress. These initiatives highlight how digital solutions can help cooperatives achieve their goals.

“This collaboration is about improving lives. Through technology from Globe Business, we aim to uplift communities and accelerate their journey out of poverty. This partnership holds great promise,” said Usec. Joy Encabo, CDA Chairman.

Globe Business also provides critical support for cooperatives’ digital transformation with infrastructure, cybersecurity, and cloud services, ensuring secure and efficient operations.
