Security Bank

Philippines · banking · business history

First Filipino bank. Security Bank started on June 18, 1951, as the very first private bank owned by Filipinos after World War II ended. This made it super important to the country's economy.

Born from history. The bank was created during an exciting time when the Philippines was rebuilding and becoming independent. It helped Filipino businesses grow when the country really needed it.

Universal bank today. Security Bank is now a universal bank, which means it offers many different kinds of banking services to people and companies, not just basic savings and checking.

Proud ownership. Unlike many banks of that era that were controlled by foreign countries, Security Bank was owned and run by Filipinos for Filipinos, giving the country control of its own money.
