CARD Bank, Inc. opened the  very  first bank  in Balangiga!
On March 9, 2015, CARD Bank, Inc. opened its 60th branch in Balangiga Eastern Samar, a 4th class municipality, which has been one of the important historical sites in the Philippines. Balangiga witnessed one of the country’s bravest acts in history where its natives fought for their freedom during the war.
Inspired by the history of Balangiga and the resiliency of the people in the area after typhoon Yolanda, CARD Bank, Inc. decided to expand and help improve the quality of life of socioeconomically challenged women and families in Eastern Samar.
This move marked CARD Bank, Inc. as the very first and sole bank established in the area.
CARD Bank’s main aim is to provide banking products and services to the unbanked. The bank expects to play a key role in the development and be an active participant in the economic growth of Balangiga and nearby provinces.
Ms. Dolores M. Torres, CEO & President of CARD Bank, Inc., together with the bank’s executive committee members and representatives from Center for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD), Inc., particularly Mr. Vicente P. Briones, Jr and Mr. Josef M. Leron attended the ceremony.
