Notable Changes Between September 2022 and March 2023:

Tonik Digital is no longer in this list because it was one of the six banks licensed by the BSP as digital banks.

Metro South Coop Bank is not in the list above because it has merged with Consolidated Cooperative Bank and Bataan Cooperative Bank on January 25, 2023 to form One Cooperative Bank (OCB). Circular Letter No. CL-2023-019. Metro South is one of the top rural banks by assets in the past rankings. I think One Cooperative Bank will be in the top 5 or top 10 once they submit their reports as a consolidated bank.

Netbank is the newest rural bank in the above list. It was launched in October 2021 by Filipino and international bankers. It claims to be the first bank offering Banking as a Service (BaaS) in Southeast Asia.

LifebankA Rural Bank is not in the above Top 100 list. It’s either that it missed the report submission deadline, or its assets decreased. It’s Facebook page is Active: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063689607002

Welcome Bank (Rural Bank) is not in the above list. Let’s see in the next quarter if it missed the March 2023 report submission deadline, or its assets decreased. Its website is Active: welcomebank.com.ph

Liberty Bank, a rural bank based in Meycauyan, Bulacan, is not in the above list. Maybe it missed the report deadline or its assets decreased.

Notes on some Rural Banks in the List Above:

SeaBank Philippines has been the fastest growing rural bank in the past several months. It’s now the 4th biggest rural bank based on assets! That’s like a rocket launch from a low level of 90th in September 2021 to No. 4 just a year later in September 2022. There are now several SeaBank Facebook groups, with one of them having nearly 60k members.

GM Bank of Luzon (No. 9 in Dec 2020 Ranking, headquartered in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija) is missing in the March 2021 Ranking. Maybe it missed the report submission deadline?
Tonik Digital Bank is now licensed as a Digital Bank by the BSP. It was the second bank approved by the BSP to operate as a digital bank.
Card Bank. Unlike the other 2 billionaire rural banks which are owned by 2 of the biggest banks in the country, Card Bank is a a microfinance-oriented rural bank and a member of the group known as the CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI) whose top aim is to help small businesses, families and communities. It’s based in San Pablo City, Laguna.

What Are Rural Banks?

Rural banks are banks that serve primarily rural communities. They operate as savings and credit facilities for farmers, fishermen, merchants, rural cooperatives, small business enterprises and other members of rural communities.
A rural bank is organized as a stock corporation and fully owned by Filipino citizens and organizations.

The minimum capitalization for a rural bank is 10 million pesos. That’s for a rural bank with one office and established in a 4th class to 6th class municipality outside the NCR.
In the NCR, the minimum capitalization for a rural bank with one to 10 branches is 75 million pesos.

What are the banking services that rural banks can do, according to BSP regulations?

What Happened to Rural Banks No Longer in the Top Rural Banks List?

  • One Unified Rural Bank of Cavite Inc. (OUR Bank) resulted from the mergers of Rural Bank of General Trias Inc., Rural Bank of Maragondon Inc., Bangko Noveleta Inc. A Rural Bank and Sto.

  • PBCom Rural Bank (previously #21) has been acquired by Producers Savings Bank Corp., with the merger taking effect on April 15, 2021, according to BSP Circular Letter No. CL-2021-040
  • Katipunan Bank (previously #16) has merged with Rural Bank of Siocon (Zamboanga del Norte) Inc. into a new rural bank named Katipunan Banking Corp. (A Rural Bank)
  • FICOBank means First Isabela Coop Bank

5 Rural Banks No Longer in Sep 2017 List

Five rural banks that were in the TOP 33 list in September 2016 but no longer in the TOP 33 list in September 2017:
• Valiant Bank moved down from Rank 33 to Rank 40.
These 4 other banks below are missing from the entire BSP ranking as of September 2017. I’m guessing they were delayed in submitting their financial reports to the BSP.
• Sep 2016 Rank 7   Agribusiness RB
• Sep 2016 Rank 20  RB of Porac (Pampanga)
• Sep 2016 Rank 23  Mt Carmel RB
• Sep 2016 Rank 26  Peoples Bank of Caraga
