The Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM) started operations on September 4, 1939 at the Trade and Commerce Building on Juan Luna Street, Binondo, Manila. A branch of the Bank of Communications headquartered in Taiwan, it was one of the first non-American foreign commercial banks to operate in the Philippines.
PBCOM ceased operations during the Japanese occupation, as did most banks during that period. When it resumed operations after World War II, the Bank reinstated its pre-war accounts despite the absence of any legal obligation to do so.
In 1946, the Bank joined the Manila Clearing House Association to expedite business for its clientele, and, in response to the nationwide demand for increased banking service, opened a branch in Cebu the following year.
PBCOM came under Filipino ownership when Ralph Nubla and company purchased majority of the Banks outstanding capital stock on June 21, 1974. In February 1988, PBCOM was listed in the Makati and Manila Stocks Exchanges. In December 1995, in order to finance its Information Technology and Branch Expansion Program, the Bank offered 1 million of its common shares to the public for the first time.
In 2000, PBCOM began to take bolder steps towards becoming a modern and competitive commercial bank. Major shareholders displayed their commitment to the Bank by pouring P2.6 billion in fresh equity, making PBCOM one of the biggest capitalized commercial banks. That year, PBCOM also acquired Consumer Savings Bank, a 19-branch thrift bank with a strong presence in retail market. In 2001, PBCOM transferred its Head Office from Binondo to the PBCOM Tower, then the countrys tallest building, located in the heart of Makati.
In 2011, ISM Communications Corporation signed on as a Strategic Third Party investor to PBCOM.
Eric Recto was elected as the Banks Chairman on May 8, 2012.
In September 2014, the entry of Mr. Lucio Co as the Banks strategic investor put PBCOM in a unique position for growth. The Bank is focused on building its capabilities in order to leverage the more than 3,000 suppliers and 300,000 loyal customers of Puregold Price Club Inc. and Cosco Capital Inc.
With Chairman Eric O. Recto and President & CEO Patricia May T. Siy at the helm, PBCOM embarks on the next phase of its growth and development as it strives to deliver world-class customer service, expand its distribution network to bring banking services, and introduce new products and services. The Bank is poised to expand its suite of financial solutions, which ranges from Deposits and Investment Services, to Cash Management Solutions, as well as Commercial and Personal Loans.

PBCOM offers LTNCD
THE Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM) has announced the start of its offering period to issue Long Term Negotiable Certificate of Time Deposits (LTNCD) in an effort to further boost its strategic initiatives and meet its growth prospects moving forward. This will be the maiden issuance for the Lucio Co-led Bank, which marked almost eight decades in the banking business earlier this month. Mr. Co has been a strategic partner of the Bank since 2014. The funds will be used for general corporate funding with an emphasis on long-term lending.
PBCOM is targeting to raise about P2 billion, from this exercise although it has Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas approval to issue up to P5 billion. The offer period for the initial tranche will run from September 17 until September 28. The LTNCDs will feature a term of five years and six months with an indicative rate of 5.375 percent to 5.625 percent and payable quarterly.
The rate will be finalized at the end of the offering period and will be exempt from the 20 percent withholding tax to individual investors if held for more than five years. Minimum investment size is P50,000, followed by increments of P10,000.
ING Bank N.V. (Manila Branch) and the Development Bank of the Philippines have been appointed to act as joint lead arrangers, joint book runners and selling agents for the transaction. PBCOM will also act as a selling agent.
The instrument will be listed in the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. platform.
So this LTNCD is for branch expansion?
