In a holiday message, BPI president and CEO Jose Teodoro “TG” Limcaoco said 2025, “while wrought with challenges, has still been another year of steady progress and meaningful impact for BPI.”
He said the bank, backed by the Zobel family conglomerate Ayala Corp., strengthened its financial position during the year while expanding its regional footprint with the launch of BPI Wealth Singapore, alongside continued investments in digital banking.
“Guided by our ‘Do More Philippines’ commitment, we focused on doing more for our clients — enhancing everyday banking experiences, broadening access to financial services through initiatives such as agency banking and our partner store network,” Limcaoco said.
“As we welcome the New Year and look ahead to our 175th year, we remain steadfast to serving you with purpose, innovation, and care, as we continue building a better Philippines—one family, one community at a time,” he added.
Founded in 1851 during the Spanish colonial era as El Banco Español Filipino de Isabel II, BPI is the country’s oldest bank and has since grown into the fourth-largest lender, entering its next chapter with both history and scale firmly behind it.
