For 65 years, RCBC has been a steadfast partner to progress, financing infrastructure, renewable energy, and transformative projects that empower industries and connect communities.

“Our most important asset will always be trust. It’s the foundational principle for all banks. For 65 years, RCBC has earned the confidence and trust of millions of Filipinos by standing with them through challenges and triumphs,” said President and CEO Reggie B. Cariaso. “It is this trust that allows RCBC to turn bold ambitions into concrete progress.”

RCBC has financed over 100 kilometers of toll roads and bridges connecting communities nationwide. The bank has expanded focus to digital infrastructure, including data centers and telco towers supporting the booming digital economy.

As the first local bank to publicly announce it would stop funding coal power plants, RCBC shifted its energy portfolio toward renewables. The bank has financed over 3 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy projects with another 3GW in the pipeline for the next three years, including solar installations, wind farms, and hydroelectric projects.

RCBC’s sustainability bonds continue receiving strong capital market support. This year alone, the bank raised USD 350 million in January and PHP 12.2 billion in July. Total sustainable financing instruments issued since 2019 exceed USD 1B and PHP 64B, deployed across over 19,000 sustainable projects nationwide.

Leveraging its presence in economic zones, RCBC partnered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) to promote the Philippines as an investment destination for foreign companies expanding operations domestically.

“Our journey is far from over,” said Cariaso. “By aligning our strategies with national priorities and global sustainability standards, we are committed to driving progress that is inclusive, responsible, and built for the long term.”
