The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) kicked off its 59th anniversary month celebration with the official inauguration of 10 mobile automated teller machines (ATMs) today, 05 August 2022, designed to service communities with disrupted or limited access to banking services.
LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo, together with Manila Mayor Maria Sheilah “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan and Vice Mayor John Marvin “Yul” C. Nieto, led the blessing and inauguration of the LANDBANK Mobile ATMs at the Plaza Rajah Sulayman in Malate, Manila.
They were joined by LANDBANK Director Virgilio DV. Robes, LBP Leasing and Finance Corporation (LLFC) President and CEO Michael P. Arañas, LANDBANK Executive Vice Presidents Alex A. Lorayes, Alan V. Bornas and Carel D. Halog, Senior Vice President Randolph L. Montesa, and other LANDBANK senior officials.
“The launch of new LANDBANK Mobile ATMs today reflects our continuing commitment to deliver unhampered and essential services to customers. We are also expanding our reach nationwide to promote greater financial inclusion, as part of our broader thrust to spur inclusive and sustainable development,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Borromeo.
Six (6) of the new LANDBANK Mobile ATMs will be stationed in LANDBANK branches located in Luzon—including two units in Metro Manila—and two units each in Visayas and Mindanao. The new touchpoints increase LANDBANK’s total mobile ATMs to 20 and a wider ATM network of 2,877.
Designed as an offsite ATM mounted on a customized transport vehicle, the LANDBANK Mobile ATM can provide basic banking services, such as cash withdrawal, balance inquiry, bills payment, and fund transfer.
The LANDBANK Mobile ATMs can be deployed in areas affected by disasters or calamities, including cash payouts to beneficiaries of the National Government’s Conditional and Unconditional Cash Transfer (CCT/UCT) Programs under the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Through the years, LANDBANK has grown into one of the leading universal banks in the country, while remaining faithful to its social mandate of promoting national development.
On 8 August 2022, the state-run Bank will mark its 59th anniversary, representing almost six decades of service to the nation.
