UnionBank Private Banking has once again earned international recognition, being named Highly Commended in the Best Private Bank, Philippines category at the Asset Triple A Private Capital Awards 2025, held recently in Hong Kong.

This latest commendation from The Asset, one of Asia’s most respected financial publications, affirms the Bank’s consistent delivery of personalized, forward-looking, and trusted private banking experiences.

UnionBank was cited for its innovative digital approach, bespoke client solutions, and agile, entrepreneurial mindset — qualities that continue to resonate with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Three major accolades

This latest recognition affirms the consistent excellence in service, following three major accolades received earlier this year at the Global Private Banker Innovation Awards 2025, namely, Best Private Bank for Succession Planning — Philippines; Excellence in Intergenerational Services — Private Bank; and Highly Acclaimed — Best Private Bank for Client Experience

The awards reflect UnionBank Private Banking’s deep understanding of multigenerational wealth needs and its proactive approach to legacy planning, particularly through its NextGen Academy, which equips future leaders with global exposure, mentorship, and governance insights.

Preparing families and children

“We are honored to be acknowledged by respected institutions and our peers in the industry,” said Atty. Arlene Agustin, UnionBank Private Banking Group head. “This strengthens our commitment to serve clients who value thoughtful, future-ready relationships — as we showcase what NextGen Banking feels like, our mission is to prepare families, and their children who are the future leaders for what lies ahead,” she added.

UnionBank Private Banking continues to evolve its offerings, through bespoke financial solutions combining digital innovation with personalized advisory to ensure that clients experience is seamless and secure.

The recognitions given to the Private Banking team builds the confidence and belief that we are the trusted private banking partner today and for generations to come.
