Feng Shui to Finances: Prosperity Made Simple with PSBank

Tweet

As 2025 begins, it’s the perfect time to align your financial goals with the principles of feng shui, the age-old practice of creating balance and harmony. At its core, feng shui emphasizes the importance of flow— an idea that resonates deeply with the journey to financial prosperity. PSBank, your trusted partner in simple and reliable banking, is here to help you transform these auspicious opportunities into meaningful success.

Feng shui teaches that small changes can create a ripple effect of positive energy, and the same is true for financial management. Consider these feng shui tips to help you achieve balance and abundance this year:

1. Tidy Up Your Wallet: A clean, organized wallet attracts wealth and financial clarity. Remove unnecessary receipts and keep it stocked with some cash to symbolize abundance. Furthermore, it is advised to avoid using second-hand wallets.

2. Incorporate Wealth Colors: Colors like black, brown, orange, pastel yellow, and green in your financial tools are believed to represent prosperity and good fortune.

3. Mind the Front Door: Your home’s entrance symbolizes the flow of opportunities. Keep it clean and unobstructed to welcome positive energy, including financial prosperity. You can achieve this through brighter lighting and by adorning the entryway with plants to make the space more inviting.

4. Activate the Southeast Corner: Known as the wealth sector, this area of your home can be enhanced with symbols of abundance like a jade plant, gold coins, or even financial documents. Utilizing these emblems signifies growth and prosperity.

5. Declutter Key Areas: A cluttered desk or workspace can block the flow of energy. Tidying key areas symbolizes free room to let energy flow seamlessly. Ensure the space where you manage finances is clean and inviting to encourage fresh opportunities.

These tips can come handy but know that your actions towards financial success still lies in your hands and the steps you take to achieve this. Imagine starting the year with not just good intentions but actionable plans to secure your financial future. It’s time to ask yourself, What’s stopping me from taking the leap toward a more prosperous future? With PSBank, upgrading your financial future in 2025 becomes effortless.

PSBank’s products can make banking more simple and convenient, while also empowering you to achieve your financial goals.

You can also fund for your home renovation to keep it more tidy and organized with PSBank’s home credit line.

On top of this, save for a more bountiful future with a deposit account that can help you build financial security, offering a safe place to grow your savings, prepare for emergencies, or work toward long-term goals like education or travel.

Following its receipt of Takaful operator license, Pru Life UK is partnering with Al Amanah Islamic Investment Bank of the Philippines (AAIIBP) to promote Islamic finance and Takaful through financial education and capacity-building initiatives and help expand reach of financial inclusion to more Filipino communities, primarily in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

Amilasan, Jr. Chairman and CEO, Al-Amanah Islamic Investment Bank of the Philippines (AAIIBP); Undersecretary Renato Reside, Department of Finance; Dean Jukipli Wadi, Pru Life UK Shariah Committee Chairman; Atty. Paul Mandal, Pru Life UK Chief Legal, Government Relations & Sustainability Officer; and Imelda Tarhata F. Macarambon, Chief Operating Officer, Al-Amanah Islamic Investment Bank of the Philippines (AAIIBP)

Takaful, a Shariah-compliant form of insurance, means joint guarantee. It is founded on cooperative arrangement and aligns with the principles of mutuality and solidarity.

“Pru Life UK’s Takaful journey is driven by our commitment to social inclusion, aiming to provide financial protection to more Filipino families. We are excited to collaborate with AAIIBP on financial education and capacity-building to help address the need to fill in the gap in financial education especially for Muslim communities, shares Atty. Paul Mandal, Pru Life UK’s Chief Legal, Government Relations and Sustainability.

Pru Life UK is preparing to introduce an insurance product, subject to regulatory approval that is compliant with Shariah rules and principles, in support of the Philippine government’s financial inclusion thrust, and help Muslim and non-Muslim Filipinos achieve financial security.

AAIIBP is the first Islamic bank in the country with the mandate to promote and accelerate socio-economic development through banking, financing and participating in agricultural, commercial and industrial ventures based on the concept of Islamic banking.

“As the country’s first Islamic bank, AAIIBP is committed to advancing financial inclusion through Shariah-compliant solutions. The partnership with Pru Life UK on financial education and capacity building is a significant milestone in our efforts to uplift Muslim communities and empower them to become key contributors to the nation’s progress. We are eager to witness the positive impact this collaboration will bring,” said AAIIBP’s Chairman & CEO Amilbahar Amilasan, Jr.

This collaboration between Pru Life UK and AAIIBP is a promising step towards a more inclusive and financially resilient Philippines.

Part of Pru Life UK’s Takaful journey is the roll out of community investment and engagement initiatives. In October 2024, the insurer launched the “Adopt-a-Madrasah Programme, covering over 450 students and teachers from three community madrasahs in Bangkal, Davao City. Pru Life UK targets to expand the reach of this programme and launch financial education sessions in key sites across the country especially in Mindanao this year.
