In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, BDO said HBL has 132 branches including satellite offices and commercial banking services, and is the 16th Japanese bank that has partnered with BDO.

HBL was incorporated in 1878 and has 60,000 corporate clients, mostly located in the industrial zones. It expects to grow its roster of customers in the Philippines with new investments and business matching deals. BDO is the country's largest bank in terms of total assets, loans, deposits, and trust funds under management.

The Bank has the country's largest distribution network, with over 1,600 consolidated operating branches and more than 4,600 ATMs nationwide, and has 16 international offices in Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
