BPI Gold, together with home design and furniture brand Vipp, hosted an exclusive dinner for its clients in Toyo Eatery, celebrating the very best of Scandinavian design and Philippine gastronomy.
BPI Gold—the bank’s top-tier wealth management program—and iconic Danish home design and furniture brand Vipp hosted a special culinary event for BPI Gold clients. Entitled “Hapunan Sa Toyo,” the dinner engagement took place in the multi-awarded Toyo Eatery, which proudly took the 24th spot in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024.
The evening showcased a seamless blend of Scandinavian design and Filipino gastronomy, forming an enthralling discussion on unique and shared passions.
An Evening Of Unforgettable Dining And Design
Toyo Eatery founder Chef Jordy Navarra received the guests with a round of bespoke welcome cocktails, which he served atop the sleek Vipp V1 kitchen island of the internationally acclaimed restaurant.
This was followed by a Filipino produce-forward eight-course dinner, paired with more inventive libations crafted from Toyo’s Vipp kitchen.
Dinner was served in one of the restaurant’s private dining rooms, where Vipp home solutions and kitchen appliances were on display, setting the stage for the evening’s dining experience. This gave BPI Gold clients the opportunity to inquire about and pre-order a wide array of Vipp solutions in a more personalized manner, with Vipp Philippines general manager Andrew Naval taking the guests through a discovery session of the Danish brand’s key offerings.
The BPI Gold Experience
As former BPI Consumer Segments, Platforms and Activations Head Mariana Zobel de Ayala and BPI Consumer Banking Head Ginbee Go mentioned in a previous Lifestyle Asia feature, BPI Gold offers unparalleled hyper-personalization in the field of banking. Since it launched late last year, the program continues to provide best-in-class financial advisory to its clients through a dedicated and seasoned Relationship Manager, who not only offers exceptional financial advice, but also connects their clients to premium lifestyle experiences that go beyond their day-to-day banking.
This year alone, BPI Gold clients got access to curated events made especially for them, such as a clients-only event in this year’s Art Fair Philippines; an exclusive real estate outlook discussion and premium property showcase with Ayala Land Inc.; and a private investment talk with global investment firm BlackRock.
On top of this, BPI Gold clients get to enjoy priority handling in BPI branches through priority lanes and lounges exclusive to them.
BPI Gold offers exclusive premium experiences through special events like this, tailored to enrich its BPI Gold clients’ banking experience. This is the Bank’s commitment to continue to innovate and evolve its BPI Gold offerings to better serve clients and create unforgettable moments and opportunities to socialize, enjoy, and strengthen relationships.
Through this partnership with Vipp, “Hapunan Sa Toyo” highlighted BPI Gold’s dedication to fostering stronger connections on a more personal level, engaging clients in meaningful conversations about their next financial strategies and more. Through curated experiences like this, it’s clear that the wealth management program puts a premium on its client relationships, with services that go beyond traditional banking.
