The new headquarters located at the Bonifacio Stopover Corporate Center is a much larger facility that can support the expanded needs of employees and allow them to work in a more collaborative environment thanks to the office’s state-of-the-art facilities as well as all the conveniences needed in modern workplaces. The office also boasts of a gaming center for employees to recharge during the workday.

In September 2021, it launched REVI Credit, an in-house fully digital revolving credit product. 2022 saw the release of CIMB PH’s brand new mobile app, while the CIMB Virtual Debit Card was launched the following year. The company also worked with several partners throughout the years for its embedded banking efforts, such a GCash, Shopee, and Visa.
