What global rankings reveal about UnionBank
More important than the rankings themselves is what this dual recognition represents. In an industry traditionally commanded by larger players, UnionBank has carved out a unique space, standing out as a pioneer in technology-led banking and continuous digital innovation.
In the highly competitive Philippine financial sector, UnionBank stands out by functioning as a ‘tech company with banking facilities.’ Various key distinct aspects set it apart from its traditional local competitors. As a digital transformation pioneer, UnionBank was the first domestic bank to launch a website, introduce online banking, launch an electronic savings account and debut fully digital branches (e.g., ‘The Ark’). It also established the fintech subsidiary UBX to scale decentralized financial technologies.
