Security Bank kicks off ₱5-billion bond public offering

Published Sep 22, 2025 10:42 am
Security Bank Corp. is planning to raise at least ₱5 billion from its fixed-rate peso bond public offering, which kicked off on Monday, Sept. 22, and will run until Oct. 17, 2025.
The bonds will have a minimum issue size of ₱5 billion with an oversubscription option, a tenor of five years, and will be marketed at a fixed rate of six percent per annum, the bank said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).
Minimum denominations have been set for ₱500,000 and increments of ₱100,000 thereafter. The bonds will be issued out of the bank’s ₱200-billion peso bond and commercial papers program.
Proceeds will be used to support the bank’s lending activities and expand its funding base.
Security Bank will list the bonds on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. (PDEx) on Oct. 29, 2025, to provide secondary market liquidity to investors who would like to trade the instruments.
“We’re excited about this peso bond offering as it further strengthens Security Bank’s funding base and supports our growth and lending activities,” said Security Bank Executive Vice President (EVP) and Financial Markets Segment Head Price Edward C. Yap.
He added that, “At the same time, it gives investors a high-quality peso investment with stable, predictable returns—underscoring the bank’s financial strength and commitment to our clients.”
Security Bank has mandated Philippine Commercial Capital Inc. (PCCI) and Security Bank Capital Investment Corp. as joint bookrunners, joint lead arrangers, and selling agents for this issuance.
Meanwhile, Security Bank has been selected for inclusion in FTSE Asia-Pacific Small Cap Index, one of the region’s most recognized benchmarks used by global institutional investors.
The announcement, made as part of FTSE’s September 2025 quarterly review, reflects Security Bank’s growing stature in the Philippine financial sector and its consistent market performance. The inclusion took effect on Sept. 19, 2025, after close of business.
“This recognition underscores the trust that investors continue to place in Security Bank. Our commitment to delivering BetterBanking and creating long-term value for clients, communities, and shareholders is now being validated on a global stage,” said Security Bank President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sanjiv Vohra.
FTSE Asia-Pacific Small Cap Index forms part of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (GEIS), a comprehensive framework covering large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap stocks across developed and emerging markets (EMs).
Within this series, FTSE Global Small Cap Index represents over 5,800 stocks with a combined market capitalization of about $7 trillion.
Security Bank was among a select group of Philippine companies named in the FTSE review. Its addition highlights the bank’s increasing relevance to international investors, who often use FTSE indices to guide investment decisions.
