PNB: Moving Towards
a Century of Innovative
Excellence
I
ANILA, Philippines – As Philippine National Bank (PNB) turns a century old on July 22, 2016, the promise of
the fully-private financial institution in service of Filipinos around the world remains steadfast, innovative and
evolving.
Contrary to the belief of being completely or partially owned by the government, the Philippine National
Bank (PNB) is fully a private bank – the country’s fourth largest private universal bank in terms of assets
and deposits, with a total of 662 branches and 900 ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) strategically located
nationwide. The bank also boasts of having the most extensive global presence across Asia, Europe, the Middle East
and North America with 75 overseas branches and offices.
Fortifying its thrust of innovation, PNB has introduced products to always answer the specific client needs and
likewise suited to customer’s banking requirements. One of the most important product launches by the Bank in
recent years is ATMSafe, a pioneering insurance product for PNB ATM cardholders that replaces cash stolen from
ATM-related scams. Another retail product is the “Healthy Ka Pinoy Emergency Medical Card”, a low cost health
insurance which provides emergency hospital care.
From Retail Banking Group, the institution’s face to the banking public, to other operational departments, PNB
focuses on delivering quality customer experience. As it preserves a heritage of outstanding and innovative banking
services to Filipinos in the country and across the globe, the bank welcomes the turn of the century in preserving
and strengthening customer relationships for the next 100 years ahead and beyond.
