UnionBank: The Official Sponsor and Pre-Sale Partner for The Asian Premiere of Hamilton

Manila gets the first show, UnionBank cardholders get first dibs!

What happens when a trailblazing, multi-awarded, proudly Filipino bank decides to treat its cardholders to arguably the most groundbreaking musical of the decade? UnionBank cardholders are about to find out for themselves! Hamilton, the award-winning and record-breaking Broadway musical, is set to have its Asian premiere in the Philippines with UnionBank as the official sponsor and ticket pre-sale partner.

UnionBank of the Philippines, in partnership with GMG Productions for Hamilton’s Asian premiere, will hold an

exclusive booking period to give its credit cardholders early access to tickets.

The hip-hop musical about America’s founding father, Alexander Hamilton, had humble beginnings as an off- Broadway show in 2015 before it garnered sell-out shows and critical acclaim and moved to Broadway where it won 11 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The title role was played by its creator and writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda (beloved for his songs in Moana and Encanto). Since then, Hamilton has been performed throughout North America, in London’s West End, Puerto Rico, Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and soon, Manila, Philippines!

Citi Philippines Marks 25 Years of Leadership in Credit Cards

Manila –The country’s largest foreign bank celebrates another milestone as it marks its 25th year of providing world class credit card products and services to the Filipino consumer.

It was in 1990 when Citi Philippines introduced the Citibank MasterCard, marking the global bank’s entry into the Philippine credit card market. Back then, Citi was also credited for changing the payment landscape, when it lowered the minimum income requirement to own a credit card, and turned what was once a financial tool only for the elite, into a payment product that empowered middle income Filipino cardholders. 

“We are extremely proud of our legacy of success here in the Philippines, particularly in our consumer banking business led by our credit cards,” shared CEO Batara Sianturi in his speech at the celebratory event.  “As the world’s largest issuer of credit cards, we bring our experience and expertise across the globe in providing and anticipating the credit payment needs of our clients here in the country with the help of our partners like MasterCard.”
