the Philippines (LANDBANK) recently inaugurated its new offsite ATM in the
Municipality of Aguinaldo, Ifugao.
As the only financial institution servicing the municipality, LANDBANK’s ATM located

the 16 barangays in Aguinaldo, as well as other neighboring towns.

“We remain steadfast in expanding our touchpoints to provide accessible and
responsive financial support and services nationwide, especially in unbanked and
underserved areas in the countryside” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette
V. Ortiz.
The new LANDBANK ATM will add to the two point-of-sale (POS) terminals of the
Aguinaldo Pomochan Multi-Purpose Cooperative, a LANDBANK Agent Banking
Partner (ABP) that provides basic financial transactions on behalf of the Bank.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to LANDBANK for this invaluable ATM addition,
sparing our residents the unnecessary hassles of seeking distant banking facilities. BThis initiative significantly enhances the accessibility and convenience of banking
services within our community” said Mayor Chilagan.
The strategic placement of the LANDBANK ATM will also benefit various segments of
the community, including municipal government employees, pensioners, teachers,
police and military personnel, 4Ps beneficiaries, senior citizens, jeepney operators
and drivers, and other recipients of the national government’s social programs.
LANDBANK continues to step up the expansion of its touchpoints to help bridge the
gap of financial accessibility for residents in remote areas, contributing to economic
growth and development in the regions.
The state-run Bank is celebrating its 60 th anniversary this year, representing six
decades of uplifting lives, empowering communities, and serving the nation — all in
pursuit of an inclusive and sustainable economy.
