Security Bank Capital, the investment banking arm of Security Bank Corporation, celebrates its 30th anniversary with a renewed commitment to financing a sustainable and inclusive future for the Philippines.
Since its founding in 1995, Security Bank Capital has played a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s capital markets, arranging over PHP 1 trillion in funding for transformative projects across infrastructure, energy, real estate, mining, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services. Through these landmark transactions, the firm has fueled economic growth, supported business expansion, and contributed to industry modernization.
“Our journey over the past 30 years has been defined by purpose-driven finance,” said Virgilio Chua, President and CEO of Security Bank Capital. “We believe that capital should not only generate returns, it should generate impact. Whether it’s powering homes with clean energy, building roads that connect communities, or supporting inclusive healthcare, our mission is to help industries grow responsibly and sustainably.”
In 2025, Security Bank Capital’s leadership in sustainable finance earned global recognition. The firm was named the Philippines’ Best Investment Bank for Financing by Euromoney, awarded Best Investment Bank in the Philippines by Alpha Southeast Asia, and received a Highly Commended citation from FinanceAsia. These accolades, along with past distinctions from The Asset, ESG Business, and Asian Banking & Finance, reflect the firm’s technical excellence and enduring commitment to nation-building.
Between 2022 and 2024, the firm arranged and completed over PHP 1.7 trillion in bond issuances, mobilizing long-term capital for renewable energy, real estate, infrastructure, financial services, and the national government. It also closed approximately PHP 362 billion in private and project finance transactions, including milestone renewable energy, water, and digital infrastructure projects.
Among these was a PHP 150 billion project finance loan for an integrated 3,500 MWp solar farm and 4,500 MWh battery energy storage system, the world’s largest integrated solar and battery facility, supporting the Philippines’ renewable energy targets of 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. Security Bank Capital also jointly arranged a PHP 100 billion syndicated financing facility for a major mass rail transit project in Northern Metro Manila, designed to enhance connectivity, boost trade, and create thousands of jobs. The firm further helped structure the country’s first sustainability-linked bonds, aligning financing incentives with measurable environmental outcomes such as emission reductions and renewable energy adoption.
Consistently ranked among the top five investment banks in both debt and equity capital markets, Security Bank Capital continues to empower Philippine enterprises toward responsible and sustainable growth. “As we look ahead, our focus remains clear: to be the partner of choice for sustainable finance in the Philippines,” Chua added. “We’re investing in our people, our platforms, and our partnerships to help industries thrive while advancing national sustainability and development goals. Our legacy lies not only in the deals we’ve completed, but in the lives we’ve uplifted and the future we’re helping to build.”
As it celebrates three decades of impact, Security Bank Capital reaffirms its mission to lead with integrity, purpose, and innovation, financing progress for generations to come.
