A wave of financial access is coming to communities across the nation. Plans are underway to establish fifteen new LANDBANK branches and smaller, branch-lite units, extending vital services to more Filipinos than ever before.
The expansion isn’t simply about numbers; it’s a deliberate strategy to meet the changing needs of customers, particularly those in rural areas. LANDBANK’s President and CEO emphasized a deep commitment to empowering local economies and fueling national progress through increased accessibility.
At the close of last year, LANDBANK already boasted an extensive network of 615 branches and branch-lite units. This was further supported by a vast ATM presence – over 3,200 LANDBANK ATMs, nearly 3,900 within 7-Eleven stores, and 236 convenient cash deposit machines.
Beyond traditional banking, LANDBANK leverages a unique partnership network of over 1,000 “LANDBANKasama Partners.” These include cooperatives, local governments, and small businesses, all working to deliver essential banking services like withdrawals, deposits, and bill payments directly within communities.
Recent growth is already visible, with a new corporate center opening in Isabela and five additional branches and branch-lites launched across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in December. These corporate centers function as comprehensive hubs for all client needs.
The new facilities aren’t just brick and mortar; they’re designed for a seamless “phygital” experience. This blends the personal touch of in-person service with the convenience and efficiency of digital banking tools, reflecting LANDBANK’s ongoing modernization efforts.
This expanded network directly supports critical government programs. From social protection disbursements to salary loans and credit for key industries, LANDBANK is actively contributing to inclusive growth and the development of the countryside.
The bank’s performance reflects this commitment. In the first nine months of the year, LANDBANK reported a substantial 41.79% increase in net income, reaching P35.64 billion – a clear indicator of its positive impact and growing reach.
