Rang-Ay bank vows financial innovations ahead 70th anniversary
Rang-Ay Bank pledges to enhance accessibility, introduce innovative services, and offer more personalized financial solutions in the North as it marks its 70th anniversary in 2026.
“For generations, Rang-ay Bank has strived to be more than just a financial institution in the Ilocos and Cordillera regions. We aim to be a trusted partner in progress. Our consistent growth and enduring presence are a testament to the strong relationships we've built with our communities,” said Ives Jesus Nisce, President and CEO of Rang-Ay Bank.
Established on January 16, 1956, Rang-ay Bank was created to support comprehensive rural development by offering essential credit services to farmers, fisherfolk, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), aiding the advancement of communities throughout the Ilocos and Cordillera regions.
"It has been our privilege and our driving force to provide the financial support and trust that enabled countless businesses, from small family enterprises to burgeoning industries, to take root, expand, and ultimately contribute significantly to the growth and prosperity of our beloved regions in Ilocos and the Cordilleras," added Nisce.
Rang-ay Bank has grown its network to 31 branches throughout Region I and the Cordilleras, making its services more accessible to a larger community.
"Next year, 2026 will be a milestone as we celebrate 70 years of Rang-ay Bank. We are excited to introduce a range of enhanced and new financial products, leveraging our upgraded core banking system. These innovations, including expanded digital capabilities and more tailored financial solutions, are designed to provide even greater convenience and value, reinforcing our promise to be a lifelong financial partner for the people of the north,” Nisce added.
Rang-ay Bank has also actively collaborated with remittance providers such as Instapay & Pesonet, Transfast, and iRemit. This is to provide clients wider access in sending and receiving money. This is especially valuable for communities with relatives working elsewhere in the country or abroad.
