Top Banks in the Philippines [According to 2023 Data]

Last Updated – Aug 24, 2023 @ 8:42 am

The banking system in the Philipines, spearheaded by the BSP (Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas), has been made more accessible with the help of the rise of social media and the internet in general amongst Filipinos.

However, even with the ubiquitous presence of information regarding our banking systems, may it be traditional or online/e-banking, a lot of our fellow citizens still find it hard to open a bank account and still struggle to filter out false information online.

Having said that, hopefully, this article presents you with the information you need to help you decide on how to go about your banking needs and pick the best bank and service that suits you.

What is a bank?

To simplify things, A bank is a financial institution that has been given a license to receive checking and savings deposits and make loans. These institutions are usually regulated by the national government or a central bank.

Common services provided by banks include personal & business deposit accounts, certificates of deposits, currency exchange, and loan services to name a few.

Furthermore, there are several types of banks such as retail, commercial (corporate), and investment banks.

What does a Bank actually do?

Most people know that a bank is a place where you can save your money securely. However, a bank does more than that. Basically, banks are financial institutions involved in both the borrowing and lending of money.

Customers make a deposit into their account and are paid an annual interest by the bank. The money that is deposited is then lent to other customers for different types of bank loans.

The bank’s profit margin is determined by the interest rates that they pay their deposit customers and the interest rates that their loan customers have to pay.

Banks play a significant role in the economy. Aside from providing a service for those who wish to save, banks also offer finance to businesses that would like to invest and expand. These business investments and loans enable economic growth.

Banks have four basic purposes:

1. Keep customers’ money safe

Most people think that depositing their money at the bank is a much safer way to keep their cash than placing it somewhere else, like under their bed.

In the medieval period, people used to pay early banks, such as the Knights Templar, for the safekeeping of their money and assets. Banks also give people peace of mind about money.

The Bank of England guarantees commercial banks in the UK as a lender of last resort (LOLR), so people think their money is safe at the bank.

2. Offer interest on deposits and help protect money from losing value due to inflation

In the case of commercial banks, customers are paid interest on their deposits. While it may be very low for current accounts, the interest rate is often significant for saving accounts. During inflation, the actual value of your savings can be maintained by interest rates on deposits.

For example, if the inflation rate is at 4% and you keep your cash, the real value of your savings will decrease. However, if you deposit your money at a bank that pays a 6% interest rate, your savings will increase in value.

Some bank customers, like pensioners, earn income from interest payments on their savings.

Current Account vs. Savings Account 

With a current account, you can access your money easily and quickly. You can withdraw your money at short notice and the account will have features, like a debit card and ATMs.

Current accounts usually come with very low-interest rates because the bank has to keep sufficient liquidity. 

On the other hand, a savings account (or time deposit account) typically has limits on how much money you can withdraw at a time.

Banks often require customers to give notice (e.g. seven days in advance) if they want to withdraw their money. This allows banks to pay interest at a higher rate since there is less liquidity needed.

3. Lend money to firms and other customers

A bank can generate more profit by lending a portion of its deposits to other customers.

For example, a bank pays an interest rate of 2% on bank deposits. However, it lends money to customers at 6%. This means it can make a profit on its deposits.

It is important to note, though, that a bank needs to maintain sufficient liquidity in order to meet the customers’ demands to withdraw money.

4. Offer financial advice and other financial-related services, like insurance 

Banks can offer consumers quick access to cash (through ATMs),  financial advice, ways to make international payments and special offers, such as free travel insurance with a current account.

What is the difference between checking and savings accounts? A checking account is opened for the purpose of accessing your money for immediate use or for your everyday expenses.

Checking accounts are also considered “transactional” which means that you are allowed to access your money anytime and anywhere you need it.

A savings account, on the other hand, is usually opened with the purpose of saving money.

Both accounts allow you to access your money but it is just easier to access it with a checking account. Also, a savings account has a limited number of withdrawals that you can make each month.

Additionally, savings accounts are usually age-restricted (18 and above) and the need for a guardian or parent as a co-owner is a must.

These units are the representation of the investor’s amount of beneficial share in the total value of the fund you can purchase units of participation based on the Net Asset Value per Unit (NAVpU) of the fund for the day.

The Net Asset Value (NAV) is the total market value of the investments of the fund with fewer expenses such as taxes, fees, and other qualified charges. The NAVPU is calculated by dividing the fund’s NAV by the number of outstanding units in the fund.

To know how many units of participation a certain amount of investment is equal to, you can simply divide the amount to be invested by the prevailing NAVPU for the day. You can access NAVpUs through the websites of the bank or financial institution you plan on doing your investments with.

• Treasury Bills – Sometimes called Government Bonds are used when the government goes to the financial market to raise funds for a short period. These bills can only be given by the central government and the included interest is based on the market.
