Message from the President

Welcome to the official website of the Chamber of Thrift Banks (CTB). This platform is designed to keep our members, partners, and communities informed, connected, and engaged.

As we move into 2026, CTB reaffirms its strong support for the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ vision of a safe, inclusive, and digitally enabled financial system. Thrift banks continue to play a vital role in serving Filipino households and MSMEs—particularly in the countryside—even as the financial landscape evolves with digitalization and rising consumer expectations.

Guided by our 2026 Business Plan, CTB is helping its members evolve into hybrid banks—institutions that build on sound governance and community trust while embracing digital transformation, secure payments, data governance, cybersecurity, and the responsible use of emerging technologies. Through close engagement with regulators and partners, CTB remains committed to advancing financial inclusion, consumer protection, and industry resilience.

We invite you to explore our website and join us in strengthening the relevance of thrift banks in today’s dynamic financial environment.
