Ayala's BPI to sell P5-B SINAG bonds to fund green, community projects

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is set to launch its first ₱5 billion SINAG Bonds, with a possible increase depending on demand, under its new ₱200-billion bond and commercial paper program.

The money raised will be used to fund environment-friendly and community-support projects under BPI’s Sustainable Funding Framework, following ASEAN Sustainability Bond Standards. 

The SINAG Bonds will run for 1.5 years and carry the official “ASEAN Sustainability” label, confirmed by the SEC on March 17, 2025. 

Investors can buy the bonds with a minimum of ₱500,000, plus increments of ₱100,000, through BPI branches, BPI Capital Corp., or Standard Chartered Bank starting from May 20 until May 30, 2025. 

The bonds are expected to be issued and listed on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. by June 10, 2025. 

BPI Capital and Standard Chartered Bank are serving as joint lead arrangers and selling agents for the offer.
