The product of a merger heralded as unprecedented in size and scale in the Philippine banking industry, Banco De Oro Unibank (BDO) today represents a firm consolidation of distinct strengths and advantages built over the years by the entities behind its history. More importantly, BDO is an institution that does more than honor its past; it continues to improve on its present, and moves with innovation and dynamism toward an even stronger future.
BDO’s reputation as a full-service universal bank remains as formidable as ever. It has the caliber to provide industry-leading corporate, retail, investment banking and insurance services. It maintains its strategic focus on its principal markets, notably the corporate market, the middle-market banking segment – consisting of mid-sized corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises – and the retail/consumer market. Moreover, it has complemented this base with expertise in asset management, leasing and finance, remittances, bancassurance, credit cards, and corporate cash management. Its institutional strengths and value-added products and services hold the key to its successful business relationships with customers. On the front line, branch banking has continuously been setting high standards as a sales and service-oriented, customer-focused force. Through selective acquisitions and organic growth, BDO is positioning for increased strength and continuing expansion into new markets.

The Bank established the BDO Foundation Inc. as its corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm and channel for its internal and external outreach program. It aims to respond to the needs of the marginalized sector of society for decent shelter, sustainable livelihood and practical education.
As one of the highlights for the year, it donated land to the City of Taguig valued at P17 million for
site development. Partnering with Gawad Kalinga Foundation Inc., it aims to build the social infrastructure and community for the informal settlers in the area.
BDO Foundation also donated P12 million for the construction of a micro-finance center in Laguna for the CARD MRI (Center for Agriculture and Rural Development- Mutually Reinforcing Institutions) Development Institute. The partnership with CARD-MRI aims to train people on using micro-finance and livelihood skills to help them alleviate poverty and develop the economic potentials of the countryside.
On a smaller scale, it also donated P1.5 million to a school in Cebu for building an audio-visual room.
Recently, the Foundation donated P2.8 million to Gawad Kalinga for the building of 28 homes in Bulacan. The houses will be located in Blocks 4 and 5 of D’Dreamland Ville in Barangay Kaypian, San Jose del Monte City. These form part of a 3.2-hectare property owned by the Makati local government and will be called BDO Foundation-GK Community. The groundbreaking ceremony was held last May to mark the start of the construction.
In a move to integrate its CSR programs in the Bank’s business, it launched the BDO Volunteer Program, generating over six hundred employee sign-ups in its maiden year. The program, which is aligned to BDO’s mission and core values, aims to develop volunteerism as a BDO lifestyle.
The BDO Volunteer Program is divided into four basic activities: BDO Speakers Bureau, for conducting lecture series; BDO Skills Trainers, for facilitating arts and crafts training sessions; BDO Community Builders, for assistance in developing communities, and; BDO Fund Raisers for assistance in fund-raising to support the Foundation’s initiatives.
Ultimately, the Bank through BDO Foundation Inc. aims to be a major catalyst in the creation of opportunities for the under-privileged and in the country’s socio-economic development.
