PSBank has gone a long way from its humble beginnings as a neighborhood bank since it first opened its
doors to its clients on September 26, 1960. Its head office was located at Plaza Miranda, Quiapo, Manila,
then the heart of the country’s commercial and business district, while its first four branches were in
Divisoria, Carriedo, Blumentritt and C. M. Recto.
At that time, PSBank blazed a trail in innovative banking which was quite unheard of in those simple and
laidback days. It was the very first bank that offered Monday to Saturday banking with no noon break,
extended banking hours, online electronic data system, and banking-by-mail. PSBank was also well-
known as “The Friendly Bank” because of its accessibility, convenience and service quality. It seemed
that, even then, PSBank was already ahead of its time.
In 1981, the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, the country’s largest bank, acquired majority shares
of PSBank, thus making it a subsidiary and its consumer and retail banking arm. This fueled the growth
and sharpened the focus of PSBank to offer products and services that championed its clients’ needs.
In 1991, the Monetary Board of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas authorized the Bank to perform trust
banking functions. Four years later, PSBank was granted a quasi-banking license, previously granted
only to commercial banks and investment houses.
On the same year, PSBank became the first publicly-listed savings bank in the country. Its first offering of
25% stock rights to the public raised PhP602.4 million while its second offering the following year yielded
PhP526 million. This accounted for 63% growth in its capital funds.
Despite challenges that came its way through several crises in the local, Asian and global economies,
PSBank – through its prudent management, innovation and customer-centric focus – consistently
delivered. From being dubbed as a friendly bank in the 1960s, PSBank underscored its primary objective
of quality customer service, simplified processes, quick credit decision and innovative products through its
mandate and promise: Simple Lang, Maaasahan.
As the new millennium started, PSBank slowly yet surely made its steady climb until it reached its stature
as one of the leading savings bank in the country. In 2006, the Bank again raised PhP2 billion in Tier 2
capital or unsecured subordinated notes. On the same year, it raised PhP750 million from its rights
offer. In 2008, the Bank successfully raised PhP2 billion in Tier 1 capital through a rights offer, increasing
its capital funds by 28% to PhP8.47 billion. This was also the year when PSBank hit the PhP1-billion mark
in its net income, proving that it has what it takes to thrive in the competitive and crowded banking
industry.
PSBank has PhP24.39 billion in capital funds and PhP237.73billion assets as of end-2018.
The Bank also continues to offer innovative banking products and services that make banking easier,
faster and more convenient to its customers. It's consumer loans offer affordable rates, flexible payment
terms and quick credit decision. Car and real estate property buyers can get a credit decision from
their PSBank Auto Loan and PSBank Home Loan application in as fast as 24 hours via SMS.
The PSBank Flexi is a collateral-free personal loan that offers a revolving credit line or a term loan that
can be used by clients for their child’s education, minor home or car repairs, travel, cashless shopping,
bills payment, special occasions, and sudden expenses.
All of these, including the PSBank SME Term Loan, are now enhanced with Prime Rebate which gives
savings or rebates for advance or excess payments. No other bank gives this benefit so customers get
more value out of their hard-earned money.
To address the needs of its upwardly mobile client base, PSBank now also offers the PSBank Prepaid
MasterCard and the PSBank Debit MasterCard which clients can get on the spot.
Dubbed as the all-in-one budget card, the PSBank Prepaid MasterCard serves as a remittance card,
allowance card and debit card for purchases in MasterCard stores and online purchases. The PSBank
Debit MasterCard, on the other hand, can be conveniently swiped when shopping or dining in
MasterCard-affiliated stores.
To expand its presence nationwide. PSBank continues to increase its branch and ATM network which
has now reached 250 branches and over 575 in-branch and offsite ATMs. It is also strengthening its
online presence through PSBank Online, a secure 24/7 Internet banking facility, and the PSBank
Mobile App which allows clients to do real-time banking transactions anytime, anywhere using their
mobile device.
To date, it has 51 elementary, high school and college scholars from Chinese-Filipino schools under the
PSBank Educational Assistance Program. Under the Save It Forward program, it also sponsors the
education of 41 indigent and 55 visually-impaired children from World Vision and Resources for the
Blind so they can finish their elementary or high school education. On top of this, it gives an annual
donation to these two organizations and Chosen Children Foundation, an agency that cares for children
with special needs.
PSBank, in partnership with Metrobank Foundation, Inc. (MBFI), the Rotary Club of New Manila East and
the PNP also support the Search for the Country’s Outstanding Police in Service (COPS). COPS is a
recognition program which honors exemplary members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) who have
worked with their communities in solving and preventing crime. Recently, the program was integrated
with two other Metrobank Foundation Search programs – the Search for Outstanding Teachers and The
Outstanding Philippine Soldiers, under a newly formed competition called Metrobank Foundation
Outstanding Filipinos. Under this new Search program, three police officers will be selected as winners
and will be conferred the title “Metrobank Foundation Fellows in Public Service. “ Each awardee will
receive a cash prize of PhP1 Million, a specially designed trophy, and a medallion.
PSBank was recognized as the 2nd strongest bank in the Philippines by The Asian Banker, in its AB500
annual ranking 2016 - 2017 edition. The Asian Banker is a third party research and intelligence company
that provides information on strategic development in the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific
region.
The ranking is based on a financial scorecard that ranks the 500 largest Asian banks according to their
financial and business performance.
This is proof of how PSBank has built a foundation of strength and profitability and a reputation of simple
and reliable banking for more than 50 years of operations.
