As a trailblazer in small business lending, Security Bank is driving growth for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). As a leading financial institution in the Philippines, it’s not just growing their MSME portfolio—it’s rewriting the playbook.
With bold initiatives, cutting-edge digital tools, and our lending simulation workshops, the Bank is proving that teamwork and innovation drive real results.
MSMEs: The Heart of the Mission
Security Bank isn’t just talking about supporting MSMEs—it’s delivering. Its Beyond Banking program goes beyond loans to provide a holistic ecosystem for MSMEs to thrive, with exclusive access to third-party partners for tax filing support, legal assistance, payroll systems, and more. Add to that its digital platform Security Bank Collect, which simplifies payments for businesses, and you’ve got a bank that’s all-in on enabling growth. The payoff? A staggering 58% year-on-year surge in MSME loans as of 2024.
Simulation Meets Strategy
Our collaboration with Security Bank has centered on equipping teams with the skills and insights needed to grow small business lending portfolios. Using our proprietary lending simulation workshops, the Bank’s staff have gained hands-on experience in managing loan portfolios, assessing risks, and optimizing lending strategies. These simulations foster a collaborative learning environment where teams can experiment with real-world scenarios and refine their decision-making skills.
The results speak for themselves. By combining innovative training methods with a clear strategic vision, the Bank has positioned itself as a leader in supporting small businesses.
Collaboration that Delivers
Security Bank’s success is also rooted in its culture of teamwork and innovation. The Bank has made significant investments in its people and technology, enabling it to deliver exceptional client engagement and achieve sustainable growth. According to Sanjiv Vohra, President and CEO of Security Bank, these investments have been instrumental in accelerating the Bank’s performance.
The collaborative spirit extends beyond internal teams to partnerships with external organizations. Through initiatives like Beyond Banking, the Bank has joined forces with companies offering specialized services such as legal support (My-LegalWhiz), tax solutions (Taxumo), and HR systems (Empleyado). This network of partnerships underscores the Bank’s commitment to providing comprehensive support for its clients.
What’s Next?
With a new mobile app for business banking on the horizon and a relentless focus on digital transformation, Security Bank is just getting started. It’s not only setting new standards for small and medium business support but also proving that bold moves lead to big wins.
