Security Bank
Security Bank Corporation (SBC, simplified Chinese: 信安银行; traditional Chinese: 信安銀行; pinyin: Xìn'ān Yínháng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sìn-an Gûn-hâng) is a universal bank in the Philippines. It was established on June 18, 1951, as Security Bank and Trust Company and was the first private and Filipino-controlled bank of the post-World War II period.
Security Bank was publicly listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange in 1995 (PSE: SECB). The Bank's major businesses include retail, commercial and corporate banking, and financial markets. It offers a wide range of services, including financing and leasing, foreign exchange and stock brokerage, investment banking, and asset management through its subsidiaries.
In 2014, Security Bank embarked on a rebranding campaign called "BetterBanking" to further strengthen market appreciation of its retail banking business, which complements its wholesale banking business.
In January 2016, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Japan's largest bank, acquired a 20% minority stake of Security Bank for a deal worth ₱36.9 billion.
As of 2021, Security Bank has a total network of 313 branches and 787 ATMs nationwide.
Security Bank was established on June 18, 1951, as Security Bank and Trust Company (SBTC) in Manila, Philippines. At the time, SBTC was the first privately owned, Filipino-controlled bank of the post-World War II era. The bank's head office was first located in the Don Roman Santos Building on Plaza Goiti, moving to Escolta in 1954. At the time, Security Bank was so aggressive in opening branches that at one point during the 1950s, it had more branches in Metro Manila than any other local bank.
Beginning in the 1960s, Security Bank started expanding outside Metro Manila as well, with the opening of its first provincial branch in Angeles City. Within the decade, the bank started a rapid expansion in the provinces. It was also in the 1960s that Security Bank led a consortium of local and foreign companies that lent US$62 million to the Lopez family to fund their acquisition of Meralco, the first of its kind in Philippine banking history.
In the 1970s, Security Bank issued its first credit card, introducing the Philippines to Diners Club (until Security Bank sold Diners Club's exclusive rights in the Philippines to its rival, BDO Unibank in 2016). It also marked the start of the bank's trust offerings, many of which were deemed innovative, and still survive today as pre-need and common-trust plans, of which they are descended from Security Bank's offerings at the time. Towards the end of the 1970s, the bank was granted permission to operate a foreign currency division by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. It widened its investment services portfolio in the 1980s, even when the Philippines was thrown into a deepening political crisis. Like other major banks, the Security Bank survived.
