President Marcos had approved the privatization of UCPB Savings through Memorandum Order No. 28, issued in August 2024. The domestic savings bank became a subsidiary of LandBank following its merger with the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) in 2022.
The privatization stems from LandBank’s capacity to offer similar banking services to those of UCPB savings.
