MANILA, Philippines — Security Bank Corp. is advancing its technology transformation with strategic investments in modern architecture, artificial intelligence, real-time data platforms, cybersecurity and automation.

These initiatives strengthen the bank’s operational resilience and scalability delivering faster, safer and more seamless customer experiences, reinforcing its BetterBanking commitment.

“Security Bank is building a modern, secure, and customer-centric foundation designed to support sustainable growth while continually improving customer experiences,” Security Bank executive vice president and COO Lucose Eralil said.

“Our progress reflects disciplined execution and a forward-looking approach, and these recognitions reinforce the strength of the transformation we are delivering,” Eralil said.

Security Bank streamlined core systems and processes from January to September last year, resulting in improved speed, reliability, compliance efficiency, and enhanced service delivery.

Security Bank received the Technology Excellence Award for API–Banking at the 2025 Asian Technology Excellence Awards for its Enterprise API Platform.

By transforming banking capabilities into secure, reusable API products, the listed bank now enables faster deployment of new services, more consistent digital experiences, and seamless integrations across channels — supporting growth and market agility while strengthening Open Banking readiness.

Security Bank’s Transactor Due Diligence platform was named Best Compliance Risk Technology Initiative at The Asian Banker Global Financial Technology Awards.

Now deployed across 346 branches, the fully digitized know your customer (KYC) workflow has reduced processing time, improved customer experience, strengthened compliance integrity and eliminated paper reliance, supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability.

Enabling real-time intelligence and smarter decision-making, Security Bank’s Data Streaming Platform earned recognition as the Best Data Integration and Framework Initiative in Asia Pacific by The Asian Banker.

By shifting from batch processing to real-time streaming, the bank can now deliver insights instantly, improve reliability, support faster transactions, and enable real-time analytics, placing Security Bank among the few Philippine banks operating enterprise-grade streaming architecture.

These initiatives mark a disciplined transition toward a platform-based, API-enabled, real-time digital banking environment, supported by enterprise API deployment at scale, fully digitized branch compliance processing, real-time enterprise data streaming capabilities, security and resilience embedded by design

Collectively, these deliver BetterBanking experiences for customers, stronger operational performance and enhanced competitiveness and scalability for future growth.

Looking ahead, Security Bank will continue its multi-year technology roadmap with investments in artificial intelligence and automation for fraud management , service, and operations; advanced cybersecurity and real-time threat monitoring; core banking and payments modernization to enable real-time services; API monetization and embedded finance partnerships; and further digital across operations and branches.
