Chinabank tapped BD Business Process Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (BDBPO) to enhance the Bank’s automated payroll processing solution for corporate customers. Called Chinabank Payroll 2.0, the cloud-based payroll software, powered by BDBPO’s SweldoMo, is packed with more features and accessible via web or mobile app.

Dayro Jr., head of Chinabank Cash Management Services. “And with the self-service portal, employees can easily login and view their payroll record, attendance data, and more.”
