BPI targets growing its SME and retail arm

It aims to double its $1.63b in SME loans in three years.

Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is directing its focus towards the profitable SME segment with the goal of doubling its $1.63b (PHP85b) SME loan segment in three years.

Loans are similarly expected to grow 17% in 2018/19 with -12bps net interest margin expansion annually, according to a report from Maybank Kim Eng. This comes as the bank streamlines its consumer loan processes to meet market standards. In fact, the bank recently cut the turnaround time of auto loans from two weeks to less than one week in its bid to stay competitive.

The bank also plans to add 90 more branches to its microfinance unit BanKo to its current 102 branches within the year.

BPI’s financials remain healthy as earnings rose 1.7% YoY to $429.63m (PHP22.4b) with loans increasing 15.5% in 2017.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
