PBB adding value to the SMEs for 27 years

It has been PBB’s commitment which paved the way for its successful journey throughout the last twenty seven years, giving rise to becoming the number one stand-alone savings bank in the country, with 159 branches spanning three regions.

Mr. Rolando R. Avante, Vice Chairman and President/ CEO of Philippine Business Bank (PBB) has remarked: “We are proud of what we have accomplished in the last decades and as we look to the future we will continue to build on the pillars that have helped us become what we are today. PBB will remain focused on the fundamentals of banking and its best practices with an emphasis on the SMEs. PBB’s most valuable asset is its people and we will continue to strengthen and empower them as they are responsible for the Bank’s operations at all levels. Most importantly, we will be whole-heartedly dedicated to our clients, shareholders, business partners and the communities we serve.”

With its vision of being the lender of choice by the SMEs, PBB aims to help the progress of more local businesses, and is also engaging in more activities which will also extend loans to provincial areas. Being also a part of its social corporate responsibility, these efforts are a way to help uplift the plight of the entrepreneurs in the remote areas of the country.

Mr. Avante commented that, “we are committed to supporting and empowering our SME clients to expand their businesses through personalized customer service, innovation, and best practices. As a financial institution that is “Making Things Happen, Today,” our main priority is to provide financial tools and solutions that cater to the SMEs’ specific and diversified needs, equipping them with the resources needed to better serve their markets.

Looking ahead, empowering the SME sector will continue to be a key priority for PBB, as we step up our efforts to support them through personalized financial solutions and implementing sustainable considerations into their operations. We are committed to being a value-adding partner in the SME ecosystem that looks to future-proof our clients, shaping a stronger economic landscape for the Philippines that all stakeholders can benefit from.”
