BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) on Monday announced the issuance of P5 billion of long-term negotiable certificates of deposit (LTNCD) to finance its business and expansion plans.

In a regulatory filing, BDO said the offering will run from July 31 to August 11, with the issue date set on August 18, 2017.

"LTNCDs are negotiable certificates of deposit with a designated maturity, and represent a bank’s obligation to pay the face value upon maturity, with periodic coupon or interest payments during the life of the deposit," it said.

"LTNCDs are an attractive investment especially for individuals, as interest income is exempt from withholding taxes if the LTNCDs are held for at least five (5) years," it added.

The 5-and-a-half year LTNCDs has an indicative price of 3.50 to 3.75 percent.

"The final coupon rate will be set prior to or at the end of the offer period," BDO said.

The minimum investment subscription is P100,000 with increments of P50,000.

The bank said the proceeds from the issuance will funds "efforts to diversify the maturity of funding sources and support business expansion plans." — Jon Viktor Cabuenas/VDS, GMA News

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you.

The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
