PBB, one of the country's fast-growing savings banks, continues to pursue its branch-banking development as it opens on December 19, 2011 its 64th and 65th branches in Antipolo City and Malabon.

PBB President Rolando Avante said these are full-service branches , following the recent opening of the 61st, 62nd and 63rd branches in Olongapo City, Laoag City and the Madrigal Business Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

He said fifteen (15) more branches are in the pipeline and are expected to operate in the early quarter of the next year to bring the total of the PBB branch network to eighty (80).

According to Avante, this aggressive branch expansion is in line with the approval by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), which has authorized PBB as one of the seven (7) banks it has recently allowed to put up branches in eight (8) “restricted areas” of Metro Manila namely Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon and San Juan.
