Bank of Makati Overview
The Bank of Makati (A Savings Bank), Inc. (BMI) was established in 1956 as a rural bank before being granted authorization to operate as a savings bank in 2015. Fortunately, the BMI has been able to compete with the big players in the banking industry and is growing fast. But, even as a rural bank, BMI has demonstrated its devotion to being prominent in its chosen industry by being named the largest rural bank in 2006 – larger, in fact, than most savings banks. Indeed, it has grown from a rural bank to a network of 48 full-service branches, 14 microfinance-oriented branches, and 40 branch lite units.
To date, BMI has a lot to offer to the Filipino people in terms of their finances. Aside from expanding its reach, the bank also expands its products and services to complement the increasing demands of Filipinos.
