Hungry Workhorse takes centre stage in RCBC’s API-first digital banking push

Hungry Workhorse is partnering with Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) to lead a major digital transformation of the bank’s services.

As RCBC’s innovation partner and the official Philippine implementation arm for APIwiz, Hungry Workhorse will integrate and deploy next-generation digital banking solutions, with all 38 APIs expected to launch within 90 days.

The partnership launches RCBC’s Digital 2.0 Marketplace, a platform powered by APIwiz’s centralized API management system. This enables RCBC to quickly design and deploy digital services, positioning the bank as a dynamic digital platform. APIwiz’s framework provides the technological foundation, streamlining operations with built-in governance and automation tools.

The initiative aligns with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) vision for an open and secure digital financial marketplace, promoting innovation through trusted digital infrastructures.

“Our collaboration with APIwiz and Hungry Workhorse is a strategic alignment with RCBC’s digital roadmap, strengthening our commitment to build a future-ready, API-enabled financial ecosystem,” said Lito Villanueva, executive vice president and chief innovations and inclusion officer of RCBC. “This API-first approach also unlocks exponential impact in scaling inclusive digital finance, fostering co-creation and collaboration with key fintech players both locally and globally.”

Rey Lugtu, president and CEO of Hungry Workhorse, emphasized the partnership’s broader impact: “We look forward to working closely with RCBC to bring transformative digital solutions to Filipinos while contributing to the country’s tech ecosystem. Together, we will drive meaningful impact through technology and human capital development.”

The transformation will create significant employment opportunities in the Philippine tech sector, requiring extensive design, implementation support, and digital talent development.

The signing ceremony was held on June 16, 2025 at CollHub 25F RCBC AT Yuchengco Centre, attended by key stakeholders from RCBC, APIwiz, and Hungry Workhorse, along with members of the media.
