Security Bank Capital, the investment banking arm of Security Bank Corporation, marks its 30th year with a renewed pledge to power a more sustainable and inclusive Philippine economy. Since its founding in 1995, the firm has been at the heart of the country’s capital market evolution—mobilizing over PHP1 trillion in funding for infrastructure, energy, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services.
Three Decades of Impactful Finance
Over the years, Security Bank Capital has helped transform industries and communities by arranging financing for projects that create real, lasting value. “Our journey has always been about purpose-driven finance,” said Virgilio Chua, President and CEO of Security Bank Capital. “Capital should do more than deliver returns—it should deliver impact. Whether we’re powering homes with clean energy, building roads that connect communities, or strengthening inclusive healthcare, we aim to help industries grow responsibly and sustainably.”
Championing Green and Inclusive Growth
Security Bank Capital’s leadership in sustainable finance continues to earn global recognition. In 2025 alone, it was named the Philippines’ Best Investment Bank for Financing by Euromoney, Best Investment Bank in the Philippines by Alpha Southeast Asia, and received a “Highly Commended” citation from FinanceAsia. These join a growing list of accolades from The Asset, Asian Banking & Finance, and ESG Business, underscoring the firm’s excellence in structuring innovative and impactful deals.
From 2022 to 2024, the firm completed and arranged over PHP1.7 trillion in bond issuances—providing long-term funding for renewable energy, infrastructure, real estate, and the national government. It also facilitated around PHP362 billion in private and project finance deals, supporting landmark ventures in solar energy, water supply, and digital connectivity.
Among its milestones is a PHP150 billion project finance loan for a 3,500MWp solar farm and 4,500MWh battery energy storage system—the largest of its kind in the world. The project directly contributes to the Philippines’ renewable energy targets of 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. Another landmark transaction is a PHP100 billion syndicated project finance facility for a major mass transit system in Northern Metro Manila, designed to enhance mobility, spur economic growth, and create new jobs.
Security Bank Capital also pioneered sustainability-linked bonds in the Philippines—tying financial incentives to measurable environmental outcomes such as lower carbon emissions and higher renewable energy adoption.
Empowering the Next Generation of Enterprises
Ranked among the country’s top five investment banks in both debt and equity capital markets, Security Bank Capital remains a trusted partner for Filipino enterprises seeking to expand responsibly. “As we look ahead, our focus remains clear—to be the preferred partner for sustainable finance in the Philippines,” Chua said. “We’re investing in people, platforms, and partnerships that will help industries thrive while driving national progress. Our true legacy lies not only in the transactions we’ve closed but in the lives we’ve helped uplift and the future we’re helping to build.”
As it celebrates three decades of excellence, Security Bank Capital’s 30th anniversary stands as more than a milestone—it’s a reaffirmation of its enduring mission to lead with integrity, impact, and purpose in building a sustainable Philippines for generations to come.
