Net loans increased to PHP545 billion, driven by accelerated growth in Home Loans, Auto Loans, Credit Cards, and MSME loans.


Sanjiv Vohra, President & CEO of Security Bank, emphasized, "Our results for the first quarter reflect both accelerating momentum across our Retail, MSME, and Wholesale Segments. We're excited to introduce our brand-new Security Bank app in Q2, which will enhance the online banking experience and reinforce our BetterBanking commitment."



Security Bank, now 72 years in operation, underscored that it continues to be among the country’s best-capitalized private domestic universal banks, as evidenced by the awards it has received.
