On October 9, this commitment was reaffirmed during its 45th anniversary celebration, “Celebrate the Past, Empower the Digital Future,” at Dusit Thani Manila in Makati City.

“Forty-five years ago, CCAP was founded to drive collaboration, innovation, and responsible growth in the credit card industry,” said CCAP Chairman Rolando Ebreo.

“Since then, we’ve advanced from manual and paper-based systems to digital platforms and real-time payments, evolving with our customers’ needs and our leaders’ vision.”

The event not only served as a look back but also as a call to action for what lies ahead.

It brought together industry leaders, partners, and colleagues to pursue one common goal.

"Our aim is to future-proof the financial system, where innovation is responsible and consumers are empowered," shared Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Lyn I. Javier.

"We strive to build a financial ecosystem that is digital by design and inclusive by intent."
