The 4 banks below are not on the list above. I’m assuming they were delayed in submitting their financial reports. I could be wrong though.
1. City Savings Bank was the 7th biggest thrift bank based on assets (75.445 billion pesos) as of September 2018.
* City Savings Bank has acquired Philippine Resources Savings Banking Corp. (PR Savings Bank). Effective date of merger was February 28, 2019. Circular Letter No. CL – 2019 – 023.
2. The Palawan Bank (Palawan Development Bank)
3. Maximum Savings Bank (MaxBank) issued a statement on its website that it’s owned by Hong Kong and Philippine investors and that the rumor it’s being acquired by another foreign company is incorrect.
