Bangko Kabayan Celebrates 66th Founding Anniversary

Bangko Kabayan commemorated a momentous event last August 26, 2023, as it marked its 66th Founding Anniversary with the theme "Bound Together, We Are One."

This commemoration took on a marvelous significance as Bangko Kabayan proudly announced its successful merger with FairBank and Progressive Bank in the Visayas region. This transformative union signifies a milestone in the institution's history, propelling it into a larger and more dynamic entity.

One of the highlights of the celebration was the introduction of new Bangko Kabayan branches in the Visayas Region and its employees, with locations spanning Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, and Iloilo. This expansion served as a testament to Bangko Kabayan's commitment to reaching and serving a wider community.

The event was also graced by the former owners of the institution, Atty. Francis S. Ganzon and Ms. Teresa M. Ganzon. As attendees reflected on this historic occasion, emotions ran high, and heartfelt tributes and messages poured in from the past and current Bangko Kabayan employees, underscoring the enduring legacy of the Ganzons.

Adding depth to the celebration, Ms. Maria Ana Aboitiz-Delgado, the Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Experience and Digital Channel Officer of Unionbank of the Philippines (UBP), shared her invaluable insights on the significance of customer experience in the banking industry. Her presence enhanced the event by bringing a wealth of expertise to everyone.

The festivities continued with excitement, featuring raffle draws and captivating dance presentations by branches hailing from both Luzon and the Visayas.

As Bangko Kabayan celebrated its 66th Founding Anniversary, it was clear that the institution had achieved yet another remarkable milestone. With its expanded presence in the Visayas Region, Bangko Kabayan reaffirmed its dedication to contributing to economic development by delivering top-tier financial products and services to MSMEs and individuals within the community. The celebration was not just a reflection of its past achievements but also a declaration of its firm commitment to a brighter future.
