PART I - BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Business
A. Business Development
The Philippine National Bank (PNB or the “Bank”), the country’s first universal bank, is the fourth
largest local private commercial bank in terms of assets, net loans and receivables, capital and deposits.
As of December 31, 2019, the Bank has a distribution network of 715 domestic branches and offices
and 1,626 automated teller machines (ATM) in the Philippines. In addition, it has the widest
international footprint among Philippine banks spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North
America with its overseas branches, representative offices, remittance centers and subsidiaries.
In July 2016, PNB celebrated its Centennial Year with the theme, “A Century of Excellence”, signifying
a meaningful milestone for an institution that has served generations of Filipinos here and abroad. For
over 100 years, PNB stands proud as an institution of stability and security for many Filipinos. With its
century of banking history and experience, PNB is poised to move forward to becoming a more dynamic,
innovative and service-focused bank, providing service excellence to Filipinos all over the world.
The Bank was established as a government-owned banking institution on July 22, 1916. As an
instrument of economic development, the Bank led the industry through the years with its agricultural
modernization program and trade finance support for the country’s agricultural exports, pioneering
efforts in the Overseas Filipino Workers’ (OFW) remittance business, as well as the introduction of
many innovations such as “Bank-on-Wheels”, computerized banking, ATM banking, mobile money
changing, domestic traveler’s checks, and electronic filing and payment system for large taxpayers.
PNB has the widest overseas office network and one of the largest domestic branch networks among
local banks.
On February 9, 2013, the Bank concluded its merger with Allied Banking Corporation (ABC) as
approved and confirmed by the Board of Directors (BOD) of PNB and ABC on January 22 and January
23, 2013, respectively. The respective shareholders of PNB and ABC, representing at least two-thirds
of the outstanding capital stock of both banks, approved the terms of the Plan of Merger of the two banks
on March 6, 2012.
To support the Bank’s efforts to diversify its funding sources to meet the financial needs of its clients,
PNB offered Long-Term Negotiable Certificates of Time Deposit (LTNCDs), which extend the maturity
profile of the Bank’s liabilities as part of overall liability management and to raise long-term funds for
general corporate purposes. In October 2016, PNB received the approval from the Bangko Sentral ng
Pilipinas (BSP) to issue up to P20.0 billion worth of LTNCDs in tenors of 5.5 to 10 years in multiple
tranches over a period of one year. Along this line, PNB launched the initial tranche on December 14,
2016 with an offering of P3.0 billion and this was oversubscribed at P5.38 billion. The said offer has a
tenor of 5 years and 6 months and a coupon rate of 3.25%. In 2017, two LTNCD tranches were issued,
viz: a) on April 27, 2017, P3.765 billion at 3.75% coupon rate; and b) on October 26, 2017, P6.35 billion
at 3.875% coupon rate. The last tranche was oversubscribed at more than double the issue size of P3.0
billion. In October 2018, PNB once again received the approval from BSP to issue up to P20.0 billion
worth of LTNCDs. In February 2019, PNB issued the first tranche of 5.5-year LTNCDs totaling P8.2
billion at 5.75% per annum. The original P3.0 billion offering was upsized to meet the 2.7x
oversubscription owing to the strong demand from both retail and institutional investors. On
October 11, 2019, PNB listed the second tranche of LTNCDs totaling P4.6 billion which was double the
announced issue size of P2.0 billion.
As part of the Bank’s efforts to diversify its funding sources and support its strategy on safe aggressive
growth, PNB also tapped the capital markets. In April 2018, PNB successfully issued in Singapore and
Hong Kong its 5-year Fixed Rate Senior Notes worth US$300 million out of its US$1 billion Medium
5
Term Note (MTN) Program. This marked the first time that PNB tapped the international bond market
for medium term dollar funding. Orders for the offering reached approximately $1.2 billion at its peak,
equivalent to 4X oversubscription. The high demand for the initial issue underscores the international
investors’ strong confidence in PNB. In May 2019, the PNB Board of Directors approved the increase
in the amount of the Bank’s MTN Program to US$2 billion. The following month, PNB issued US$750
million in 5.25-year Fixed Rate Senior Notes priced at 99.47% and carried a yield of 3.39% and a coupon
of 3.28%. The transaction was oversubscribed with an orderbook of over US$3.25 billion. The proceeds
of the Notes will be used to support PNB’s loan expansion as the Bank takes advantage of the country’s
sustained economic growth.
In April 2019, PNB acting through its Tokyo branch successfully closed and signed a US$250 million
3-year syndicated term loan facility with a group of international and regional Japanese banks. The
facility was launched originally at US$200 million and attracted total commitments of US$370 million
at close of syndication, representing an oversubscription of about 2.7x with lending commitments
received from 14 Japanese and international banks with operations in Japan. The last syndicated loan
availed by PNB was in 2015. The diversity of the syndicate of lenders is an affirmation of the growing
international market’s appetite for assets from the Philippines. The success of the transaction is a strong
acknowledgment of the capital market’s confidence in the credit strength of the Bank.
In May 2019, PNB listed on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp its maiden offering for fixed
rate Philippine Peso bonds, which reached P13.87 billion, equivalent to an oversubscription of almost
3X the announced issue size of P5 billion.
In July 2019, the Bank successfully issued and listed 276,625,172 common shares priced at P43.38 per
share from its stock rights offering. The net proceeds from the offering amounted to P11.7 billion.
Proceeds from the offering are expected to enhance PNB’s presence in emerging growth areas.
PNB has fully integrated its wholly-owned thrift bank subsidiary, PNB Savings Bank (PNBSB), into
the parent bank through acquisition of its assets and assumption of its liabilities in exchange for cash.
The BODs of PNB and PNBSB approved the integration last September 28 and October 10, 2018,
respectively. Upon integration, PNB will be able to deliver a more efficient banking experience and
serve a wider customer base, while the customers of PNBSB will have access to PNB’s diverse portfolio
of financial solutions. The consumer lending business, currently operated through PNBSB, will also
benefit from PNB’s ability to efficiently raise low cost of funds. PNB secured the Monetary Board
approval last August 29, 2019 for the integration, which was subsequently completed on March 1, 2020.
In a letter to the BSP last March 5, 2020, PNBSB has surrendered its banking license to the BSP.
Recognizing the consistent improvement in PNB’s credit profile, Moody’s upgraded in November 2017
the Bank’s foreign currency and local currency deposit ratings to Baa2/P-2 from Baa3/P-3, two notches
above investment grade. The upgrade reflects the improvement in financial profile since PNB’s merger
with ABC. In December 2017, Fitch Ratings also revised upwards the support rating floor (SRF) of
PNB to ‘BB’ from ‘BB-’, following the upgrade of the Philippine sovereign’s rating to ‘BBB’ from
‘BBB-’.
In affirmation of the Bank’s well-managed operations, PNB received awards from the BSP and other
international award-giving bodies. In the 2017 BSP Stakeholders’ Ceremony, PNB was recognized as
the Outstanding PhilPass REMIT Participant. On July 31, 2018, PNB was also recognized by the
Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) as among the top performing publicly-listed companies that
ranked high under the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS). Out of the 245 companies
assessed, PNB is among the 21 publicly-listed companies that scored 90 points and above. PNB was
also among the top 5 in the financial sector recognized for exemplary corporate governance practices.
In June 2019, PNB was recognized for the second straight year by the ICD for being one of the awardees
of its ACGS Arrow for 2018.

As a clear demonstration of the Bank’s commitment in offering competitive financing structures to
clients while contributing to economic development and nation building, PNB and its subsidiaries were
recognized internationally in January 2019 by The Asset Triple A Country Awards 2018 with three
distinctions, viz: a) Best Syndicated Loan awarded to PNB and PNB Savings for the Bloomberry Resorts
and Hotels’ P73.5 billion syndicated term loan facility, b) Best Acquisition Financing awarded to PNB
and PNB Capital and Investment Corp. as lender and lead arranger, respectively, for the Clark Global
Corporation’s US$690 million acquisition project, and c) Most Innovative Deal awarded to PNB Capital
for being one of the lead underwriters and bookrunners for Ayala Land’s P10.0 billion retail bonds.
In recognition of PNB’s innovative products, PNB’s Bank on Wheels was recognized by three (3)
international award-giving bodies: a) the Most Innovative Banking Service - Philippines 2016 award
from the Global Business Outlook Awards; b) the Most Innovative Bank, Philippines 2016 award from
International Finance Magazine Awards; and c) the Most Innovative Banking Product Philippines 2016
from the Global Banking and Finance Review Awards. PNB relaunched the “Bank-on-Wheels” in
December 2015 to meet the evolving needs of its customers and provide them with banking services
when and where they need it most.
Last July 20, 2016, PNB received the “New Consumer Lending Product of the Year Award” for its
Social Security System (SSS) Pension Loan Program in the Asian Banking and Finance Retail Banking
Awards 2016, held in Singapore.
During the SSS Balikat ng Bayan Award Ceremonies last Sept 2, 2016, PNB was awarded as Best OFW
Collecting Partner. At the same time, PNB Savings Bank was awarded as Best Collecting Partner in the
thrift bank category. The Best Collection Partner distinction is awarded to financial institutions that are
consistently among the top with the highest collections; have the biggest volume of transactions and
widest coverage. In September 2019, the SSS recognized the Bank once again as its “Best Paying
Commercial Bank” partner
In September 28, 2017, the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Mastercard won the “Best Co-Brand Program Award
– Philippines” in the Mastercard Innovation Forum 2017 held at Singapore.
PNB received the “Best Brand Initiative award in Philippine Country Awards for 2017” at The Asian
Banker’s Future of Finance in Philippines Awards Program 2017 last October 6, 2017, due to the
following initiatives: a) Launch of “You First” campaign to re-establish PNB in the market; b) The Bank
initiated a series of strategically-designed marketing campaigns; and c) PNB’s “You First” campaign
increased the Bank’s auto and home loans bookings for 2016.
PNB received two awards from the Asian Banking & Finance Retail Banking Awards 2017 i.e. “Digital
Banking Initiative of the Year” for the PNB Mobile Banking App and “New Consumer Lending Product
of the Year” for the PNBSB Smart Salary Loan Program. Last July 12, 2018 PNBSB received two

Finance Product of the Year – Philippines” for its Smart Personal Loan with Double Coverage product
and “Service Innovation of the Year – Philippines” for its Smart Auto Loan and Home Loan Plus (Value-
added Services). Last October 5, 2018, PNBSB’s Smart Personal Loan once again won the Consumer
Finance Product of the Year, this time from the Asian Banker Philippine Country Awards 2018.
In December 2019, PNB was awarded by the Bureau of Local Government Finance of the Department
of Finance for its timely and complete submission of the quarterly report on LGU indebtedness for the
fiscal year 2018-2019. The Bank was cited for being a strong partner of the government in ensuring the
efficient and responsible borrowing of local government units.

B. Business Description
PNB, through its Head Office and 715 domestic branches/offices and 71 overseas branches,
representative offices, remittance centers and subsidiaries, provides a full range of banking and financial
services to large corporate, middle-market, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and retail customers,
including OFWs, as well as to the Philippine National Government, national government agencies
(NGAs), local government units (LGUs) and Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs)
in the Philippines. PNB’s principal commercial banking activities include deposit-taking, lending, trade
financing, foreign exchange dealings, bills discounting, fund transfers/remittance servicing, asset
management, treasury operations, comprehensive trust services, retail banking and other related
financial services. The Bank and its subsidiaries (the Group) offer a wide range of financial services
predominantly in the Philippines.
Its banking activities are undertaken through the following groups within the Bank, namely:
11
Wealth Management Group
The Wealth Management Group (WMG) is responsible for the development of new and non-traditional
products for wealth management and strengthening of business relationship with Wealth Management
clients. WMG’s services include brokering of fixed income securities (e.g., Peso- and USD-
denominated government and corporate securities), selling of pooled funds (Unit Investment Trust
Funds or UITFs), Variable Unit-Linked Funds, and other investment vehicles that potentially offer
higher yields compared to traditional deposit products.
2. Competition
In the Philippines, the Bank faces competition in all its principal areas of business, from both Philippine
(private and government-owned) and foreign banks, as well as finance companies, mutual funds and
investment banks. The competition that the Bank faces from both domestic and foreign banks was in
part a result of the liberalization of the banking industry with the entry of foreign banks under Republic
Act (R.A.) 7721 in 1994 and R.A. 10641 in 2014, as well as the recent mergers and consolidations in
the banking industry. As of the latest available data from the BSP, there were 46 universal and
commercial banks, of which 17 are private domestic banks, 3 are government banks and 26 are branches
or subsidiaries of foreign banks. Some competitor banks have greater financial resources, wider
networks and greater market share than PNB. Said banks also offer a wider range of commercial
banking services and products; have larger lending limits; and stronger balance sheets than PNB. To
maintain its market position in the industry, the Bank offers diverse products and services, invests in
technology, leverages on the synergies within the Lucio Tan Group of Companies and with its
Government customers, as well as builds on relationships with the Bank’s other key customers.
The Bank also faces competition in its operations overseas. In particular, the Bank’s stronghold in the
remittance business in 17 countries in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia is being
challenged by competitor banks and non-banks.
The percentage contributions of the Group’s offices in Asia, Canada and USA, United Kingdom and
Other European Union Countries to the Group’s revenue, for the years 2019, 2018, 2017 are as follows:

financial statements)

6. Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions and Royalty Agreements
The Bank’s operations are not dependent on any patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions,
and royalty agreements.
Generally, e-banking products and services require BSP approval. New deposit products require
notification to the BSP. The Bank has complied with the aforementioned BSP requirements.
The Bank provides adequate budget for the development of new products and services which includes
hardware and system development, continuous education and market research. Estimated amount spent
for 2019, 2018 and 2017 totaled P622.3 million, P582.2 million and P416.1million, respectively.
9. Number of Employees
Officers:
Vice President and up 149
Senior Assistant Vice President to Assistant Manager 4,169
Sub-total 4,318
Total 8,550
The Bank shall continue to pursue selective and purposive hiring strictly based on business requirements.
The Bank has embarked on a number of initiatives to improve operational efficiency.
With regard to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Bank’s regular rank and file employees
are represented by Philnabank Employees Association (PEMA). The two unions under the merged bank
namely: PNB Employees Union (PNBEU) and PEMA merged effective July 1, 2019, with PEMA as
the surviving union. Existing CBAs are until June 30, 2020.
The Bank has not suffered any strikes, and the Management of the Bank considers its relations with its
employees and the Union as harmonious and mutually beneficial. Industrial peace is continuously being
enjoyed by both Management and the organized Union.
As a financial institution with various allied undertakings with an international footprint, PNB continues
to comply with an evolving and regulatory and legislative framework in each of the jurisdictions in
which the Bank operates. The nature and the impact of future changes in laws and regulations are not
always predictable. These changes have implications on the way business is conducted and
corresponding potential impact to capital and liquidity.
Effective risk management is essential to consistent and sustainable performance for all of the Bank’s
stakeholders and is therefore a central part of the financial and operational management of the PNB
14
Group. PNB adds value to clients and therefore the communities in which it operates, generating returns
for shareholders by taking and managing risk.
Through its Risk Management Framework, the Bank manages enterprise-wide risks, with the objective
of maximizing risk-adjusted returns while remaining within its risk appetite. The BOD of the Bank
plays a pivotal role and has the ultimate responsibility in bank governance through their focus on two
factors that will ultimately determine the success of the Bank, viz: (1) responsibility for the Bank’s
strategic objectives; and (2) assurance that such will be executed by choice of talents.
Strong independent oversight has been established at all levels within the Bank. The Bank’s BOD has
delegated specific responsibilities to various Board Committees, which are integral to PNB’s risk
governance framework and allow executive management, through management committees, to evaluate
the risks inherent in the business and to manage them effectively. The following are the eight (8) Board
Committees:
1. Board Audit & Compliance Committee (BACC)
2. Board Information Technology Governance Committee (BITGC)
3. Board Oversight Related Party Transaction Committee (BORC)
4. Board Strategy & Policy Committee (BSPC)
5. Corporate Governance/Nomination/Remuneration and Sustainability (CorGov)
6. Executive Committee (EXCOM)
7. Risk Oversight Committee (ROC)
8. Trust Committee
A sound, robust and effective enterprise risk management (ERM) system coupled with global best
practices were recognized as a necessity and are the prime responsibility of the BOD and senior
management. The approach to risk is founded on strong corporate governance practices that are
intended to strengthen the enterprise risk management of PNB, while positioning PNB Group to manage
the changing regulatory environment in an effective and efficient manner.
The approach to managing risk is outlined in the Bank’s ERM Framework which creates the context for
setting policies and standards, and establishing the right practices throughout the PNB Group. It defines
the risk management processes and sets out the activities, tools, and organizational structure to ensure
material risks are identified, measured, monitored and managed.
PNB’s ERM Framework, with regular reviews and updates, has served the Bank well and has been
resilient through economic cycles. The PNB Group has placed a strong reliance on this risk governance
framework and the three lines-of-defense model, which are fundamental to PNB’s aspiration to be
world-class at managing risk.
15
While the first line of defense in risk management lies primarily on the Bank’s risk-taking units as well
as the Bank’s support units, the Risk Management Group is primarily responsible for the monitoring of
risk management functions to ensure that a robust risk-oriented organization is maintained.
The risk management framework of the Bank is under the direct oversight of the Chief Risk Officer
(CRO) who reports directly to the Risk Oversight Committee. The CRO is supported by Division Heads
with specialized risk management functions to ensure that a robust organization is maintained. The Risk
Management Group is independent from the business lines and organized into the following divisions:
Credit Risk Division, Basel and ICAAP Implementation Division, Market & ALM Division,
Operational Risk Division, Information Security /Technology Risk Management Division, Data Privacy
Program Division, Trust and Fiduciary Risk Division, and Business Intelligence & Warehouse Division.
Each division monitors the implementation of the processes and procedures that support the policies for
risk management applicable to the Bank. These Board-approved policies clearly define the kinds of
risks to be managed, set forth the organizational structure, and provide appropriate training necessary to
manage and control risks.
The Bank’s governance policies also provide for the validation, audit and compliance testing to measure
the effectiveness and suitability of the risk management structure. RMG also functions as the Secretariat
to the ROC, which meets monthly to discuss the immediate previous month’s total risk profile according
to the material risks defined by the Bank in its Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)
document. Further, each risk division engages with all levels of the Bank among its business and support
groups. This ensures that the risk management and monitoring are embedded at the moment of
origination.
The risk management system and the BOD’s criteria for assessing effectiveness are revisited on an
annual basis and limit settings are discussed with the Business Units and presented to the ROC for
endorsement for final BOD approval.
16
In line with the integration of the BSP-required ICAAP and risk management processes, PNB currently
monitors 10 Material Risks (3 for Pillar 1 and 7 for Pillar 2). These material risks are as follows:
Pillar 1 Risks:
1. Credit Risk (includes Counterparty and Country Risks)
2. Market Risk
3. Operational Risk
Pillar 2 Risks:
1. Credit Concentration Risk
2. Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB)
3. Liquidity Risk
4. Reputational / Customer Franchise Risk (including Social Media and AML Risks)
5. Strategic Business Risk
6. Cyber Security / Information Security / Data Privacy Risk
7. Information Technology
Pillar 1 Risk Weighted Assets are computed based on the guidelines set forth in BSP Circular No. 538
using the Standard Approach for Credit and Market Risks and Basic Indicator Approach for Operational
Risks.

Market Risk-Weighted Assets as of December 31, 2019
The Bank’s regulatory capital requirements for market risks of the trading portfolio are determined using
the standardized approach (“TSA”). Under this approach, interest rate exposures are charged both for
specific risks and general market risk. The general market risk charge for trading and financial assets
at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) portfolio is calculated based on the
instrument’s coupon and remaining maturity with risk weights ranging from 0% for items with very low
market risk (i.e., tenor of less than 30 days) to a high of 12.5% for high risk-items (i.e., tenor greater
than 20 years) while capital requirements for specific risk are also calculated for exposures with risk
weights ranging from 0% to 8% depending on the issuer’s credit rating. On the other hand, equities
portfolio is charged 8% for both specific and general market risk while foreign exchange exposures are
charged 8% for general market risks only.
The following are the Bank’s exposure with assigned market risk capital charge.
Interest Rate Exposures consist of specific risk and general market risk.
Specific Risk
Specific Risk which reflects the type of issuer of the combined portfolio of financial assets at Fair Value
through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) and FVOCI is P1,860.59 million and is composed of securities with
various tenors that are subjected to risk weight ranging from 0% to 8%. Sixty-five percent (65%) of
these securities are issued by the Republic of the Philippines while 22% is attributable to debt securities
rated AAA to BBB- issued by other entities. The remaining portfolio consists of all other debt securities
that are issued by other entities. Thirty-six percent (36%) of this combined portfolio is composed of
USD-denominated debt securities issued by the Philippines with applicable risk weight of 0.25% to
1.6%. On the other hand, the Bank’s holding in peso-denominated securities which are estimated at
29% of the portfolio have zero risk weight.

the current period also included increase in net gains from trading and investment securities.
• Net interest income totaled P32.4 billion, higher by 19.9% or P5.4 billion compared to the
same period last year mainly due to the expansion in loan, interbank loans, and trading and
investment securities portfolios which accounted for the P14.5 billion, P9.6 billion, P0.3
billion and P4.2 billion increase in interest income, respectively, partly offset by the decrease
of P0.1 billion in deposits with banks and others. Total interest income increased by 40.3%
or P14.5 billion from P36.1 billion to P50.6 billion. Total interest expense also increased to
P18.1 billion or by P9.1 billion from P9.0 billion for the same period last year primarily due
to growth in deposit liabilities and other borrowings.
• Other income decreased to P4.2 billion compared to P8.4 billion for the same period last
year mainly due to decline in net gains on sale or exchange of assets of P5.1 billion, partly
offset by higher net gains in trading and investment securities by P0.9 billion.
• Net service fees and commission income stood at P4.2 billion, 20.1% or P0.7 billion higher
compared the same period last year driven by growth in deposit and credit card related fees.
• Administrative and other operating expenses amounted to P28.9 billion for the year ended
December 31, 2019, or 12.5% higher compared to the same period last year as strong revenue
growth, particularly in interest income and trading gains, translated to higher business
related taxes.
• Total Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to P14.6
billion which is P7.2 billion higher than the same period last year due mainly to increase in
net unrealized gains on financial assets at FVOCI.

• For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Bank registered a net income of P9.6 billion,

on account of substantial improvements in core income primarily net interest income and
gains from the sale of foreclosed assets.
• Net interest income totaled P27.1 billion, higher by 22.6% or P5.0 billion compared to the
same period last year mainly due to the expansion in the loan and investment securities
portfolio which accounted for the P7.5 billion and P1.5 billion increase in interest income,
respectively. This was partly offset by the decrease in interest income of deposits with banks
and others by P0.6 billion. Total interest income increased by 30.6% or P8.5 billion from
P27.6 billion to P36.1 billion. Total interest expense however, was also higher at P9.0 billion
or by 62.6% or by P3.5 billion from P5.5 billion last year.
• Other income increased significantly to P8.4 billion compared to P7.1 billion for the same
period last year mainly due to higher net gain on sale or exchange of assets by P1.9 billion

decrease in foreign exchange gain and P0.4 billion decline in trading and investment
securities gains.
• Net service fees and commission income stood at P3.5 billion, 12.7% or P0.4 billion higher
compared the same period last year. The minimal growth was attributed to lower levels of
underwriting and investment banking fees.

increase in interest income, respectively, partly offset by the decline in interest on investment
securities and interbank loans receivable by P0.1 billion and P0.3 billion. Total interest

however, was also higher at P5.5 billion or by P0.7 billion from P4.8 billion last year.

increases in Compensation and fringe benefits, Taxes and Licenses, Occupancy and
equipment related costs, Depreciation and amortization and miscellaneous expenses by P0.6
billion, P0.3 billion, P0.1 billion, P0.2 billion and P0.2 billion, respectively.

Regulatory Qualifying Capital
Under existing BSP regulations, the determination of the Parent Company’s compliance with
regulatory requirements and ratios is based on the amount of the Parent Company’s “unimpaired
capital” (regulatory net worth) reported to the BSP, which is determined on the basis of
regulatory policies, which differ from PFRS in some respects.
As required under BSP Circular 781, the risk-based capital ratio of a bank, expressed as a
percentage of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets, should not be less than 10.00% for both
solo basis (head office and branches) and consolidated basis (parent bank and subsidiaries
engaged in financial allied undertakings but excluding insurance companies). Other minimum
ratios include Common Equity Tier (CET) 1 ratio and Tier 1 capital ratios of 6.0% and 7.5%,
respectively. A conservation buffer of 2.5%, comprised of CET 1 capital is likewise imposed.
Banks and their subsidiaries are subject to the following risk-based capital adequacy ratios
(CARs):
a. Common Equity Tier 1 – must be at least 6.0% of risk weighted assets at all time;
b. Tier 1 capital must be at least 7.5% of risk weighted assets at all times; and
c. Qualifying capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) must be at least 10.0% of risk
weighted assets at all times.
Qualifying capital consists of the sum of the following elements, net of required deductions:
a. Common equity Tier 1 capital consists of 1) paid up common stock that meet the
eligibility criteria, 2) common stock dividends distributable, additional paid in capital
resulting from the issuance of common stock included in CET1 capital, 3) deposits for
common stock subscription, 4) retained earnings, 5) undivided profits, 6) other
comprehensive income (net unrealized gains or losses on AFS and cumulative foreign
currency translation) and minority interest on subsidiary banks which are less than
wholly-owned
b. Additional Tier 1 capital consists of instruments issued by the bank that are not included
in CET 1 capital that meet the criteria for inclusion in additional tier 1 capital, meet the
required loss absorbency features for instrument classified as liabilities and loss
absorbency feature at point of non-viability as defined in the BSP guidelines.
c. Tier 2 capital is composed of 1) instruments issued by the Bank (and are not included in
AT1 capital) that meet criteria for inclusion in Tier 2 and meet the required loss
absorbency feature at point of non-viability as defined in the guidelines, 2) deposits for
subscription of T2 capital, 3) appraisal increment reserves on bank premises as authorized
by the Monetary Board, 4) general loan loss provision, limited to a maximum of 1.00%
of credit risk weighted asset, and minority interest in subsidiaries which are less than
wholly owned as defined in the guidelines.
A capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk weighted assets, comprised of CET 1 capital, shall
be required. This buffer is meant to promote the conservation of capital and build-up of
adequate cushion that can be drawn down to absorb losses during period of financial and
economic stress.
The Group’s consolidated capital adequacy ratio for combined credit, market and operational
risks computed based on BSP Circular No. 781 (for 2014) and BSP Circular No. 538 (for 2013
and 2012) were 14.80%, 14.35%, and 15.35% as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively, above the minimum 10% required by BSP. For the detailed calculation and
discussion kindly refer to Item 1, no. 10 – Risk Management.

The Bank presently has more than adequate liquid assets to meet known funding requirements and
there are no known trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that will have a material
impact on the Bank’s liquidity.
In the normal course of business, the Group makes various commitments and incurs certain
contingent liabilities that are not presented in the financial statements, including several suits and
claims which remain unsettled. No specific disclosures on such unsettled assets and claims are made
because any such disclosures would prejudice the Group’s position with the other parties with whom
it is in dispute. Such exemption from disclosures is allowed under PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The Group and its legal counsel believe that any losses arising
from these contingencies which are not specifically provided for will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial statements.
40
Capital Expenditures
In line with the Bank's digital transformation initiatives and enhancing customer banking experience
strategy, technology upgrades and branch physical infrastructure will account for the bulk of the
Bank‘s capital expenditures for 2019. Capital expenditures will be funded from the proceeds of the
sale of acquired assets and funds generated from the Bank's operations.
Significant elements of the Bank’s revenues consist mainly of net interest margin, service fees, net
trading gains and gains from disposal of reacquired properties while the Bank’s expenses consist
mainly of staff cost, depreciation and amortization of assets and provisions for probable losses.

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Philippine National Bank and Subsidiaries
(the Group) and the parent company financial statements of Philippine National Bank (the Parent
Company), which comprise the consolidated and parent company statements of financial position as at
December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the consolidated and parent company statements of income,
consolidated and parent company statements of comprehensive income, consolidated and parent company
statements of changes in equity and consolidated and parent company statements of cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and notes to the consolidated and parent
company financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and parent company financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company as at
December 31, 2019 and 2018, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting
Standards (PFRSs).

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements as
a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to
these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and parent company financial
statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the
matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated and parent
company financial statements.
Applicable to the audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements
The disclosures related to the adoption of PFRS 16 are included in Notes 2, 11 and 29 to the financial
statements.
Audit response
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s process in implementing the
new standard, including the determination of the population of the lease contracts covered by PFRS 16,
the application of the short-term lease and low value assets exemptions, the selection of the transition
approach and any election of available practical expedients. We tested the completeness of the population
of lease agreements by comparing the number of leases per operational report against the lease contract
database. On a test basis, we inspected lease agreements (i.e., lease agreements existing prior to the
adoption of PFRS 16 and new lease agreements) from the contract database, identified their contractual
terms and conditions, and traced these contractual terms and conditions to the lease calculation prepared
by management, which covers the calculation of the financial impact of PFRS 16, including the transition
adjustments.

For selected lease contracts with renewal and/or termination option, we reviewed the management’s
assessment of whether it is reasonably certain that the Group and the Parent Company will exercise the
option to renew or not exercise the option to terminate. We tested the parameters used in the
determination of the incremental borrowing rate by reference to market data. We test computed the lease
calculation prepared by management on a sample basis, including the transition adjustments.
We reviewed the disclosures related to the transition adjustments based on the requirements of PFRS 16
and PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2019 amounted to P =18.4 billion and =
P14.3 billion for
the Group and the Parent Company, respectively. Provision for credit losses in 2019 amounted to
=2.5 billion and =
P P1.6 billion for the Group and the Parent Company, respectively.
Refer to Note 16 of the financial statements for the disclosure on the details of the allowance for credit
losses using the ECL model.
Audit Response
We obtained an understanding of the board approved methodologies and models used for the Group’s and
the Parent Company’s different credit exposures and assessed whether these considered the requirements
of PFRS 9 to reflect an unbiased and probability-weighted outcome, and to consider time value of money
and the best available forward-looking information.
We (a) assessed the Group’s and the Parent Company’s segmentation of its credit risk exposures based on
homogeneity of credit risk characteristics; (b) tested the definition of default and significant increase in
credit risk criteria against historical analysis of accounts and credit risk management policies and
practices in place, (c) tested the Group’s and the Parent Company’s application of internal credit risk
rating system by reviewing the ratings of sample credit exposures; (d) assessed whether expected life is
different from the contractual life by testing the maturity dates reflected in the Group’s and the Parent
Company’s records and considering management’s assumptions regarding future collections, advances,
extensions, renewals and modifications; (e) tested loss given default by inspecting historical recoveries
and related costs, write-offs and collateral valuations; (f) tested exposure at default considering
outstanding commitments and repayment scheme; (g) checked the reasonableness of forward-looking
information used through corroboration using publicly available information and our understanding of the
Group’s and the Parent Company’s lending portfolios and broader industry knowledge; and (h) tested the
effective interest rate used in discounting the expected loss.

Further, we checked the data used in the ECL models by reconciling data from source system reports to
the data warehouse and from the data warehouse to the loss allowance analysis/models and financial
reporting systems. To the extent that the loss allowance analysis is based on credit exposures that have
been disaggregated into subsets of debt financial assets with similar risk characteristics, we traced or re-
performed the disaggregation from source systems to the loss allowance analysis. We also assessed the
assumptions used where there are missing or insufficient data.
The disclosures in relation to deferred income taxes are included in Note 30 to the financial statements.
Audit response
We reviewed the management’s assessment on the availability of future taxable income in reference to
financial forecast and tax strategies. We evaluated management’s forecast by comparing the loan
portfolio and deposit growth rates with that of the industry and the historical performance of the Group.
We also reviewed the timing of the reversal of future taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The disclosures related to goodwill impairment are included in Note 14 to the financial statements.

Audit Response
We involved our internal specialist in evaluating the methodology and assumptions used by the Group.
These assumptions include estimates of future cash flows from business, interest margin, discount rate
and long-term growth rate used to project cash flows. We compared the interest margin and long-term
growth rate to the historical performance of the CGUs and to economic and industry forecasts. We tested
the current local gross domestic product and parameters used in the derivation of the discount rate against
market data.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the SEC Form 20-IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report
for the year ended December 31, 2019, but does not include the consolidated and parent company
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The SEC Form 20-IS (Definitive Information
Statement) SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 are expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated and parent company financial statements does not cover the other
information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated and
Parent Company Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated and parent
company financial statements in accordance with PFRSs, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and parent company financial statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Group and the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s and the Parent Company’s
financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial
Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and parent company
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
· Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and parent
company financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and parent company
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and parent company
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group and the Parent Company to express an opinion on the consolidated and parent
company financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the
group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Supplementary Information Required Under Revenue Regulations 15-2010 and
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Circular No. 1074
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken
as a whole. The supplementary information required under Revenue Regulations 15-2010 in Note 39 and
the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Circular No. 1074 in Note 40 to the financial statements are presented for
purposes of filing with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, respectively, and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the
management of Philippine National Bank. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic financial statements. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in Thousand Pesos except When Otherwise Indicated)
1. Corporate Information
Philippine National Bank (PNB or the Parent Company) is a universal bank established in the
Philippines in 1916. On June 21, 1989, PNB’s shares were listed with the Philippine Stock
Exchange (PSE). As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the shares of PNB are held by the following:
2019 2018
LT Group, Inc. (LTG) (indirect ownership through
its various holding companies) 59.83% 59.83%
PCD Nominee Corporation 17.86% 17.33%
Other stockholders owning less than 10% each 22.31% 22.84%
100.00% 100.00%
PNB’s immediate parent company, LTG, and ultimate parent company, Tangent Holdings
Corporation, are also incorporated in the Philippines.
The Parent Company provides a full range of banking and other financial services, which include
deposit-taking, lending, bills discounting, trade finance, foreign exchange dealings, investment
banking, treasury operations, fund transfers, remittance and trust services, through its 715 and 711
domestic branches as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of the same dates, the Parent
Company has 71 overseas branches, representative offices, remittance centers and subsidiaries in 16
locations in Asia, North America and Europe.
The subsidiaries of the Parent Company are engaged in a number of diversified financial and related
businesses such as remittance, nonlife insurance, banking, leasing, stock brokerage, foreign exchange
trading and/or related services. The Parent Company and the subsidiaries are collectively referred
hereinto as the Group.
The principal place of business of the Parent Company is at PNB Financial Center, President
Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
On February 9, 2013 (the acquisition date), PNB concluded its merger with ABC with a purchase
consideration amounting to P=41.5 billion, representing 423,962,500 common shares at the fair value
of P
=97.90 per share in exchange for the 100.00% voting interest in ABC at the share swap ratio above
(Note 14). The fair value of the shares is the published price of the shares of PNB as of February 9,
2013. There are no contingent considerations arrangements as part of the merger.
On March 2, 2017, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued a final confirmation ruling that the
statutory merger of PNB and ABC is a tax-free merger under Section 40(C)(2) of the National
Internal Revenue Code of 1997 as amended (Tax Code).
*SGVFS038920*
-2-
In connection with the merger, the BSP gave certain incentives to PNB, which include, among others:
· recognition of the fair value adjustments in both books prepared under Philippine Financial
Reporting Standards (PFRS) and Regulatory Accounting Principles (RAP);
· full recognition of appraisal increment from the revaluation of premises, improvements and
equipment in the computation of its capital adequacy ratio (CAR).
The financial statements of the Parent Company and PNB Savings Bank (PNBSB) reflect the
accounts maintained in their Regular Banking Unit (RBU) and Foreign Currency Deposit Unit
(FCDU). The functional currency of RBU and FCDU is Philippine pesos (P = or PHP) and United
States Dollar (USD), respectively. The individual financial statements of these units are combined
and any inter-unit accounts and transactions are eliminated.
The Group presents the amounts in the financial statements to the nearest thousand pesos (P
=000),
unless otherwise stated.
Statement of Compliance
The Group prepared these financial statements in accordance with PFRS.
The Group generally presents financial assets and financial liabilities at their gross amounts in the
statement of financial position, unless the offsetting criteria under PFRS are met. The Group does not
also set off items of income and expenses, unless offsetting is required or permitted by PFRS, or is
specifically disclosed in the Group’s accounting policies.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and
its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared on the same reporting
period as the Parent Company using consistent accounting policies. In the consolidation, the Group
eliminates in full all significant intra-group balances, transactions, and results of intra-group
transactions.
The Group consolidates its subsidiaries from the date on which the Group obtains control over the
subsidiary. The Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
· power over the investee (i.e., those existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct
the relevant activities of the investee);
· exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
· the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
*SGVFS038920*
-3-
When the Group has less than majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee,
such as contractual arrangements with other voting shareholders of the investee, rights arising from
other contractual arrangements, or any potential voting rights of the Group.
For partially-owned subsidiaries, the Group attributes the subsidiary’s income, expenses and
components of other comprehensive income (OCI) to the equity holders of the Parent Company and
to the non-controlling interests (NCI), even if this results in deficit balances of the NCI. NCI
represents the portion of profit or loss and the net assets not held by the Group, which are presented
separately in the consolidated financial statements. NCI consists of the amount attributed to such
interest from the date of business combination and its share in any changes in equity of the subsidiary.
When the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changed but it did not result in a loss of control,
the Group adjusts the carrying amounts of the controlling interests and the NCI to their new relative
interests in the subsidiary. The Group recognizes any difference between the amount by which the
NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received directly in equity as ‘Other
equity adjustment’, which is attributed to the owners of the Parent Company.
Consolidation of a subsidiary ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary. In such
circumstances, the Group derecognizes the assets (including goodwill), liabilities, NCI, and other
components of equity of the subsidiary, and recognizes the consideration received and any investment
retained at their fair values. The Group records any resulting difference in the statement of income.
Group as lessor
Lessor accounting under PFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from PAS 17. The Group continues
to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in PAS 17.
Therefore, PFRS 16 did not have an impact on leases where the Group is the lessor.
Group as lessee
The Group adopted PFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date
of initial application of January 1, 2019. Under this method, the Group applied PFRS 16
retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date
of initial application. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient to no longer
reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at January 1, 2019. Instead, the Group applied
PFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying PAS 17 and
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4 at January 1, 2019.
*SGVFS038920*

The Group has entered into property lease contracts for some of its branch and office premises.
Before the adoption of PFRS 16, the Group classified each of its leases at the inception date as
either a finance lease or an operating lease. Upon adoption of PFRS 16, the Group applied a
single recognition and measurement approach for all leases except for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets.
Refer to the significant accounting policies prior to and beginning January 1, 2019.
The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it:
· relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial
application
· applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months
of the date of initial application
· excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of
initial application
· used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend
or terminate the lease
Based on the above, as at January 1, 2019, the Group and the Parent Company recognized the
following accounts in the statement of financial position:
As of January 1, 2019, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied by the Group to
the lease liabilities ranges from 4.75% to 8.06%. The lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019 can be
reconciled to the operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018, as follows:
*SGVFS038920*

The adoption of PFRS 16 had no impact on the Group’s Statement of income, comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows. It has also no material impact on the Group’s CAR
and Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio.
The Group determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together
with one or more other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the
resolution of the uncertainty. The Group assumes that the taxation authority will examine
amounts that it has a right to examine and have full knowledge of all related information when
making those examinations. If the Group concludes that it is not probable that the taxation
authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group shall reflect the effect of the
uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment using the method the Group expects to better predict
the resolution of the uncertainty.
Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Group has assessed whether it has any uncertain tax
position and applies significant judgment in identifying uncertainties over its income tax
treatments. Since the Group operates in a complex and regulated environment, it assessed
whether the Interpretation had an impact on its financial statements. Based on its assessment and
in consultation with its tax counsel, the Group determined that it is probable that its income tax
treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities.
Accordingly, the Interpretation did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Deferred effectivity
· PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and PAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets
between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments)
The amendments address the conflict between PFRS 10 and PAS 28 in dealing with the loss of
control of a subsidiary that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The
amendments clarify that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transfer to an associate or joint
venture involves a business as defined in PFRS 3. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or
contribution of assets that does not constitute a business, however, is recognized only to the
extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
On January 13, 2016, the Financial Reporting Standards Council postponed the original effective
date of January 1, 2016 of the said amendments until the International Accounting Standards
Board has completed its broader review of the research project on equity accounting that may
result in the simplification of accounting for such transactions and of other aspects of accounting
for associates and joint ventures.
*SGVFS038920*

The Group recognizes any acquisition-related costs as administrative expenses as they are incurred. The
Group also recognizes any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer at its fair value at
the acquisition date.
After initial recognition, the Group measures goodwill at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the Group allocates the goodwill acquired in a business
combination to each of its cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the business
combination.
In business combinations involving entities under common control, the Group determines whether or
not the business combination has commercial substance. When there is commercial substance, the
Group accounts for the transaction using the acquisition method as discussed above. Otherwise, the
Group accounts for the transaction similar to a pooling of interests (i.e., the assets and liabilities of the
acquired entities and that of the Group are reflected at their carrying values, and any resulting difference
with the fair value of the consideration given is accounted for as an equity transaction).
Non-current Assets and Disposal Group Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal group as held for sale if their carrying amounts will
be recovered principally through a sale transaction. As such, non-current assets and disposal groups are
measured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell (i.e., the incremental
costs directly attributable to the sale, excluding finance costs and income taxes).
The Group regards the criteria for held for sale classification as met only when:
· the Group has initiated an active program to locate a buyer;
· the Group is committed to the plan to sell the asset or disposal group, which should be available
for immediate sale in its present condition;
· the sale is highly probable (i.e, expected to happen within one year from the date of the
classification); and
· actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly
changed or withdrawn.
The Group presents separately the assets and liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale in
the statement of financial position.
The Group classifies a disposal group as discontinued operation if it is a component of the Group that
either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
· represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
· is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical
area of operations; or
· is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
*SGVFS038920*
-8-
The Group excludes discontinued operations from the results of continuing operations and presents
them as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of
income.
If the above criteria are no longer met, the Group ceases to classify the asset or disposal group as held
for sale. In such cases, the Group measures such asset or disposal group at the lower of its:
· carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization
or revaluations that would have been recognized had it not been classified as such; and
· recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
The Group also amends financial statements for the periods since classification as held for sale if the
asset or disposal group that ceases to be classified as held for sale is a subsidiary, joint operation, joint
venture, associate, or a portion of an interest in a joint venture or an associate. Accordingly, for all
periods presented, the Group reclassifies and includes in income from continuing operations the results
of operations of the asset or disposal group previously presented in discontinued operations.
The Group recognizes in the statement of income any foreign exchange differences arising from
revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities. For non-monetary items measured at fair values, the
Group recognizes any foreign exchange differences arising from revaluation in line with the
recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on
items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI
or profit or loss, respectively).
*SGVFS038920*

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the
remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all
rights and obligations are extinguished or has expired. Investment contracts, however, can be
reclassified to insurance contracts after inception if the insurance risk becomes significant.
All non-life insurance products issued by the Group meet the definitions of insurance contract.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. The Group
measures the fair value of an asset or a liability using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
interest. If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has both bid and ask prices, the Group uses
the price within the bid-ask spread, which is the most representative of fair value in the
circumstances.
For nonfinancial assets, the Group measures their fair value considering a market participant’s ability
to generate economic benefits by using an asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described in Note 5, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.
*SGVFS038920*
- 10 -
The Group first assesses the contractual terms of financial assets to identify whether they pass the
contractual cash flows test (‘solely payments of principal and interest’ or SPPI test). For the purpose
of the SPPI test, principal is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and
may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or
amortization of the premium or discount). The most significant elements of interest within a lending
arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk. In contrast,
contractual terms that introduce a more than insignificant exposure to risks or volatility in the
contractual cash flows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement do not give rise to contractual
cash flows that are SPPI. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be measured at FVTPL.
Only financial assets that pass the SPPI test are eligible to be measured at FVOCI or at amortized
cost.
The Group determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of
financial assets to achieve its business objective. The Group’s business model is not assessed on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios. If cash flows after
initial recognition are realized in a way that is different from the Group’s original expectations, the
Group does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model,
but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial
assets going forward.
For financial liabilities, the Group classifies them as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or financial
liabilities at amortized cost.
*SGVFS038920*
- 11 -
The Group carries financial assets at FVTPL in the statement of financial position at fair value.
Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is
negative. The Group recognizes any gains or losses arising from changes in fair values of financial
assets at FVTPL directly in the statement of income under ‘Trading and investment securities gains -
net’, except for currency forwards and currency swaps, where fair value changes are included under
‘Foreign exchange gains - net’.
Debt securities at FVOCI are those that meet both of the following conditions:
· the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset in order to
both collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset; and
· the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are SPPI
on the outstanding principal amount.
The Group reports the effective yield component of debt securities at FVOCI, as well as the impact of
restatement on foreign currency-denominated debt securities at FVOCI, in the statement of income.
When the debt securities at FVOCI are disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized
in OCI is recognized as ‘Trading and securities gain (loss) - net’ in the statement of income. The
Group recognizes the expected credit losses (ECL) arising from impairment of such financial assets in
OCI with a corresponding charge to ‘Provision for impairment, credit and other losses’ in the
statement of income.
Equity securities designated at FVOCI are those that the Group made an irrevocable election at initial
recognition to present in OCI the subsequent changes in fair value. The Group recognizes the
dividends earned on holding the equity securities at FVOCI in the statement of income when the
right to payment has been established. Gains and losses on disposal of these equity securities at
FVOCI are never recycled to profit or loss, but the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in
the OCI is reclassified to ‘Surplus’ or any other appropriate equity account upon disposal. The Group
does not subject equity securities at FVOCI to impairment assessment.
This accounting policy relates to the statement of financial position captions ‘Due from BSP’, ‘Due
from other banks’, ‘Interbank loans receivable’, ‘Securities held under agreements to resell’,
‘Investment securities at amortized cost’, and ‘Loans and receivables’.
The Group subsequently measures financial assets at amortized cost using the effective interest
method of amortization, less allowance for credit losses. The Group includes the amortization in
‘Interest income’, and the ECL arising from impairment of such financial assets in ‘Provision for
impairment, credit and other losses’ in the statement of income.
*SGVFS038920*
- 12 -
Policies on subsequent measurement of financial instruments affecting the 2017 financial statements
Prior to its adoption of PFRS 9 in January 1, 2018, the Group classified certain investment securities
as available-for-sale (AFS) investments, which was the residual classification of financial assets
under previous accounting policies. The Group recognized the unrealized gains and losses arising
from the fair valuation of AFS investments, net of tax, in OCI, which is similar to the treatment of fair
value changes of financial assets at FVOCI under PFRS 9. However, unlike financial assets at
FVOCI, when the securities are disposed of, the Group recognized the cumulative gain or loss of AFS
investments previously recognized in OCI as ‘Trading and investment securities gains - net’ in the
statement of income, regardless whether the AFS investment is a debt or an equity security. The
Group also subjected both AFS debt and equity securities to impairment assessment.
Subsequent measurement of loans and receivables and held-to-maturity (HTM) investments under
PAS 39 were similar to that of financial assets at amortized cost under PFRS 9 (i.e., using effective
interest method of amortization and subject to impairment). Further, there was no change in the
subsequent measurement of financial assets at FVTPL from PAS 39 to PFRS 9, where all changes in
fair values are recognized directly in the statement of income.
The Group subsequently measures financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest
method of amortization.
Conversely, the Group does not recognize securities purchased under agreements to resell at a
specified future date (‘reverse repos’). The Group is not permitted to sell or repledge the securities in
the absence of default by the owner of the collateral. The Group recognizes the corresponding cash
paid, including accrued interest, as a loan to the counterparty. The difference between the purchase
price and resale price is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using
the effective interest method.
*SGVFS038920*
- 13 -
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset nor transferred control over the asset, the Group recognizes the asset only to the
extent of its continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a
guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of the asset
and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified,
the Group treats such an exchange or modification as a derecognition of the original liability and
recognition of a new liability, and Group recognizes the difference in the respective carrying amounts
in the statement of income.
Staging assessment
The Group categorizes financial instruments subject to the ECL methodology into three stages:
· Stage 1 – comprised of all non-impaired financial instruments which have not experienced an
SICR since initial recognition. The Group recognizes 12-month ECL for Stage 1 financial
instruments.
· Stage 2 – comprised of all non-impaired financial instruments which have experienced an SICR
since initial recognition. The Group recognizes Lifetime ECL for Stage 2 financial instruments.
· Stage 3 – comprised of financial instruments which have objective evidence of impairment as a
result of one or more loss events that have occurred after initial recognition with a negative
impact on their estimated future cash flows. The Group recognizes Lifetime ECL for Stage 3
(credit-impaired) financial instruments.
*SGVFS038920*
- 14 -
The Group no longer considers an instrument to be in default when it no longer meets any of the
default criteria and has exhibited satisfactory and acceptable track record for six consecutive payment
periods, subject to applicable rules and regulations of the BSP.
Determining SICR
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a loan or credit exposure has
increased significantly since initial recognition. The Group’s assessment of SICR involves looking at
both the qualitative and quantitative elements, as well as if the loan or credit exposure is unpaid for at
least 30 days (“backstop”).
The Group assesses SICR on loans or credit exposures having potential credit weaknesses based on
current and/or forward-looking information that warrant management’s close attention. Such
weaknesses, if left uncorrected, may affect the repayment of these exposures. The loan or credit
exposure also exhibits SICR if there are adverse or foreseen adverse economic or market conditions
that may affect the counterparty’s ability to meet the scheduled repayments in the future.
The Group looks at the quantitative element through statistical models or credit ratings process or
scoring process that captures certain information, which the Group considers as relevant in assessing
changes in credit risk. The Group also looks at the number of notches downgrade of credit risk rating
(CRR) or certain thresholds for the probabilities of default being generated from statistical models to
determine whether SICR has occurred subsequent to initial recognition date.
The Group transfers credit exposures from Stage 3 (non-performing) to Stage 1 (performing) when
there is sufficient evidence to support their full collection. Such exposures should exhibit both of the
following indicators:
· quantitative – characterized by payments made within an observation period; and
· qualitative – pertain to the results of assessment of the borrower’s financial capacity.
Generally, the Group considers that full collection is probable when payments of interest and/or
principal are received for at least six months.
*SGVFS038920*
- 15 -
If a loan or credit exposure has been renegotiated or modified, and was not derecognized, the Group
shall assess whether there has been a SICR by comparing the risk of default at reporting date based on
modified terms, and the risk of default at initial recognition date based on original terms.
Measurement of ECL
ECLs are generally measured based on the risk of default over one of two different time horizons,
depending on whether there has been SICR since initial recognition. ECL calculations are based on
the following components:
· Probability of default (PD) – an estimate of the likelihood that a borrower will default on its
obligations over the next 12 months for Stage 1 or over the remaining life of the credit exposure
for Stages 2 and 3.
· Loss-given-default (LGD) – an estimate of the loss arising in case where default occurs at a given
time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the
Group would expect to receive, including from any collateral.
· Exposure-at-default (EAD) – an estimate of the exposure at a future/default date taking into
account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of
principal and interest, expected drawdown on committed facilities and accrued interest from
missed payments.
· Discount rate – represents the rate to be used to discount an expected loss to present value at the
reporting date using the original effective interest rate (EIR) determined at initial recognition.
In measuring ECL, the Group considers forward-looking information depending on the credit
exposure. The Group applies experienced credit judgment, which is essential in assessing the
soundness of forward-looking information and in ensuring that these are adequately supported.
Forward-looking macroeconomic information and scenarios consider:
· factors that may affect the general economic or market conditions in which the Group operates,
such as gross domestic product growth rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation rate, among others;
· changes in government policies, rules and regulations, such as adjustments to policy rates;
· other factors pertinent to the Group, including the proper identification and mitigation of risks
such as incidences of loan defaults or losses.
The Group also measures ECL by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and using reasonable and
supportable pieces of information that are available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date
about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
*SGVFS038920*
- 16 -
For financial assets carried at amortized cost (such as loans and receivables and HTM investments),
AFS debt securities, and reinsurance assets, the Group first assessed impairment for financial assets
that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If there was an objective evidence of incurred impairment, the Group measured the
amount of the impairment loss as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of the estimated future cash flows computed using the financial asset’s original EIR. If the
Group determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether significant or not, it included the asset in a group of financial assets with
similar credit risk characteristics (such as internal credit risk rating, collateral type, past-due status or
term) and collectively assessed them for impairment based on historical loss experience.
The methodology and assumptions used by the Group for estimating future cash flows are reviewed
regularly by the Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
The Group assessed for impairment its consumer loans and credit card receivables on a collective
basis using a net flow rate methodology. Net flow tables were derived from account-level monitoring
of monthly movements between different stage buckets, from one-day past due to 180-days past due.
The net flow rate methodology relied on the last 60 months for consumer loans and 24 months for
credit card receivables of net flow tables to establish a percentage (net flow rate) of receivables that
are current or in any state of delinquency (i.e., 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 days past due) as of the
reporting date that will eventually result in write-off. The Group then computed the gross provision
based on the outstanding balances of the receivables as of the reporting date and the net flow rates
were determined for the current and each delinquency bucket.
For AFS equity securities, the Group assessed impairment whether there was a significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below their cost. The Group treated
‘significant’ generally as 20.00% or more and ‘prolonged’ greater than 12 months. In addition, the
Group evaluated other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equity securities
and the future cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equity securities. When there was
evidence of impairment, the Group excludes the cumulative loss on the AFS equity securities from
OCI and recognized them in the statement of income. The Group did not reverse impairment losses
on AFS equity securities through the statement of income and any increases in fair value after
impairment were recognized directly in OCI.
Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group as issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due
in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. The Group initially recognizes financial
guarantees on trade receivables at fair value under ‘Bills and acceptances payable’ or ‘Other
liabilities’ in the statement of financial position. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group
measures these financial guarantees at the higher of:
· the initial fair value less any cumulative amount of income or amortization recognized in the
statement of income; and
· the ECL determined under PFRS 9.
Undrawn loan commitments and letters of credit are commitments under which, over the duration of
the commitment, the Group is required to provide a loan with pre-specified terms to the customer.
*SGVFS038920*
- 17 -
The nominal contractual value of financial guarantees and undrawn loan commitments, where the
loan agreed to be provided is on market terms, are not recorded in the statement of financial position.
The Group estimates the expected portion of the undrawn loan commitments that will be drawn over
their expected life. The ECL related to financial guarantees and loan commitments without
outstanding drawn amounts is recognized in ‘Miscellaneous liabilities’ under ‘Other liabilities’.
Investment in an Associate
The Group’s associate pertains to the entity over which the Group has significant influence, which is
the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not
control or joint control over those policies.
The Group accounts for its investment in an associate under the equity method of accounting. Under
this method, the Group carries the investment in an associate in the statement of financial position at
cost plus post-acquisition changes in the share in the net assets of the associate. The Group reflects
its share in the results of operations of the associate in the statement of income. When there has been
a change recognized in the associate’s OCI, the Group recognizes its share in any changes and
discloses this in the statement of comprehensive income. The Group eliminates any profits or losses
arising from transactions between the Group and the associate to the extent of the interest of the
Group in the associate.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retained
investment at its fair value. Any resulting difference between the aggregate of the associate’s
carrying amount upon disposal and the fair value of the retained investment, and proceeds from
disposal is recognized in the statement of income.
The initial cost of property and equipment consists of its purchase price, including import duties,
taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for
its intended use. See accounting policy on Leases for the recognition and measurement of right-of-
use assets included under ‘Property and equipment’.
The Group derecognizes an item of property and equipment upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The Group includes any gain or loss arising
from derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset) in the statement of income in the period the asset is derecognized.
*SGVFS038920*
- 18 -
carrying amount of asset given up. The Group recognizes any gain or loss on exchange in the
statement of income under ‘Miscellaneous income’.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group carries the investment properties and chattel mortgage
properties at cost less accumulated depreciation (for depreciable properties) and any impairment in
value.
The Group derecognizes investment properties and chattel mortgage properties when they have either
been disposed of or when the asset is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is
expected from its disposal. The Group recognizes any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of
an investment property in the statement of income under ‘Net gain on sale or exchange of assets’ in
the period of retirement or disposal.
The Group transfers assets to investment properties when, and only when, there is a change in use
evidenced by ending of owner occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or
ending of construction or development. Conversely, the Group transfers out of investment properties
when, and only when, there is a change in use evidenced by commencement of owner occupation or
commencement of development with a view to sale.
Intangible Assets
The Group initially measures separately acquired intangible assets at cost, and the intangible assets
acquired in a business combination at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Following initial
recognition, the Group carries intangible assets at cost less any accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses. The Group does not capitalize internally generated intangibles,
excluding capitalized development costs, and reflects in profit or loss the related expenditures in the
period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The Group measures any gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset. The Group
recognizes these gains or losses in the statement of income in the period when the intangible asset is
disposed of.
Customer relationship intangibles (CRI) and core deposits intangibles (CDI) are the intangible assets
acquired by the Group through business combination. The Group initially measures these intangible
assets at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value of these intangible assets reflects
expectations about the probability that the expected future economic benefits embodied in the asset
will flow to the Group.
Following initial recognition, intangibles with finite lives are measured at cost less accumulated
amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
*SGVFS038920*
- 19 -
Goodwill
The Group initially measures goodwill acquired in a business combination at cost. With respect to
investments in an associate, the Group includes goodwill in the carrying amount of the investments.
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances that the carrying value may be impaired.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the Group considers the asset
as impaired and writes the asset down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the Group
discounts the estimated future cash flows to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
The Group charges the impairment loss against current operations. At each reporting date, the Group
assesses whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount
and reverses a previously recognized impairment loss only if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal recognized in the statement of income cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for
the asset in prior years. After such reversal, the Group adjust the depreciation and amortization in
future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic
basis over its remaining life.
Goodwill
The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill every fourth quarter, or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The Group determines impairment for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU (or
group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group
of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount of the CGU (or group of CGUs) to which goodwill has
been allocated (or to the aggregate carrying amount of a group of CGUs to which the goodwill relates
but cannot be allocated), the Group recognizes an impairment loss immediately in the statement of
income. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed for subsequent increases in its
recoverable amount in future periods.
*SGVFS038920*
- 20 -
Reinsurance
The Group cedes insurance risk in the normal course of business. Reinsurance assets represent
balances due from reinsurance companies. Recoverable amounts are estimated in a manner consistent
with the outstanding claims provision and are in accordance with the reinsurance contract. When
claims are paid, such reinsurance assets are reclassified to ‘Loans and receivables’.
Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Group from its obligations to policyholders.
The Group also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for insurance contracts.
Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as income and expenses in the same
manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the
product classification of the reinsured business. Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to
ceding companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated
reinsurance contract.
Premiums and claims are presented on a gross basis for both ceded and assumed reinsurance.
Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognized when the contractual rights are extinguished or
expired or when the contract is transferred to another party.
*SGVFS038920*

When the Group enters into a proportional treaty reinsurance agreement for ceding out its insurance
business, the Group initially recognizes a liability at transaction price. Subsequent to initial
recognition, the portion of the amount initially recognized as a liability will be withheld and included
as part of ‘Other liabilities’ in the consolidated statement of financial position. The amount withheld
is generally released after a year.
An impairment review is performed at each end of the reporting period or more frequently when an
indication of impairment arises. The carrying value is written down to the recoverable amount and
the impairment loss is charged to the consolidated statement of income. The DAC is also considered
in the liability adequacy test for each reporting period.
Equity
The Group measures capital stock at par value for all shares issued and outstanding. When the shares
are sold at a premium, the Group credits the difference between the proceeds and the par value to
‘Capital paid in excess of par value’. ‘Surplus’ represents accumulated earnings (losses) of the Group
less dividends declared.
Dividends
The Group recognizes dividends on common shares as a liability and deduction against ‘Surplus’
when approved by the Board of Directors (BOD) of the Parent Company. For dividends that are
approved after the reporting date, the Group discloses them in the financial statements as an event
after the reporting date.
*SGVFS038920*
- 22 -
For underwriting, share registration, and other share issuance costs and taxes incurred in connection
with the issuance of equity securities, the Group accounts for these costs as reduction of equity
against ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’. If the ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’ is not
sufficient, the share issuance costs are charged against the ‘Surplus’. For transaction costs that relate
jointly to the offering and listing of the shares, the Group allocates the costs to those transactions (i.e.,
reduction against equity for those allocated to offering of shares, and expensed for those allocated to
listing of shares) using a basis of allocation that is rational and consistent with similar transactions.
Revenue Recognition
Prior to January 1, 2018, under PAS 18, Revenue, revenue is recognized to the extent that it is
probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received.
Upon adoption of PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective January 1, 2018,
revenue is recognized upon transfer of services to the customer at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is
acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its
revenue arrangements except for brokerage transactions. The following specific recognition criteria
must also be met before revenue is recognized within the scope of PFRS 15:
· Fees from services that are provided over a certain period of time
The Group accrues fees earned for the provision of services over a period of time. These fees
include investment fund fees, custodian fees, fiduciary fees, credit-related fees, trust fees,
portfolio and other management fees, and advisory fees.
· Bancassurance fees
The Group recognizes non-refundable access fees on a straight-line basis over the term of the
period of the provision of the access. Milestone fees or variable and fixed earn-out fees are
recognized in reference to the stage of achievement of the milestones.
The Group recognizes loan syndication fees as revenue when the syndication has been completed
and the Group retains no part of the loans for itself or retains part at the same EIR as the other
participants.
The Group assessed that there is no difference in accounting for the above service fees and
commission income under PFRS 15 and PAS 18.
*SGVFS038920*
- 23 -
The Group operates a loyalty points program which allows customers to accumulate points when they
purchase from member establishments using the issued card of the Group. The points can then be
redeemed for free products subject to a minimum number of points being redeemed.
Prior to January 1, 2018, the Group allocates the consideration received between the discounts
earned, interchange fee and the loyalty points earned, with the consideration allocated to the loyalty
points equal to its fair value. The fair value is determined by applying statistical analysis. The Group
then defers the fair value of the points issued and recognizes revenue only when the loyalty points are
redeemed or have expired.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Group allocates a portion of the consideration received from discounts
earned and interchange fees from credit cards to the reward points based on the estimated stand-alone
selling prices. The Group defers the amount allocated to the loyalty program and recognizes revenue
only when the loyalty points are redeemed or the likelihood of the credit cardholder redeeming the
loyalty points becomes remote. The Group includes the deferred balance under ‘Other liabilities’ in
the statement of financial position.
Other income
The Group recognizes income from sale of properties upon completion of the earning process (i.e.,
upon transfer of control under PFRS 15 and transfer of risks and rewards under PAS 18) and when
the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.
The following are revenue streams of the Group, which are covered by accounting standards other
than PFRS 15:
Interest income
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial instruments
classified as financial assets at FVOCI/AFS investments, the Group records interest income using the
EIR, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying
amount of the financial asset or financial liability. In calculating EIR, the Group considers all
contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options), and includes any
fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the
EIR, but not future credit losses. The Group adjusts the carrying amount of the financial instrument
through ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income based on the original EIR.
Under PFRS 9, when a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as Stage 3,
the Group calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the net amortized cost of the financial
asset. If the financial asset cures and is no longer credit-impaired, the Group reverts to calculating
interest income on a gross basis. Under PAS 39, once the recorded value of a financial asset or group
of similar financial assets carried at amortized cost has been reduced due to an impairment loss, the
*SGVFS038920*
- 24 -
Group continues to recognize interest income using the original EIR applied to the new carrying
amount.
Commitment fees
The Group defers the commitment fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down (together with any
incremental costs) and includes them as part of the EIR of the loan. These are amortized using EIR
and recognized as revenue over the expected life of the loan.
Dividend income
The Group recognizes dividend income when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
Rental income
The Group accounts for rental income arising on leased properties on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms of ongoing leases, which is recorded in the statement of income under ‘Miscellaneous
income’.
*SGVFS038920*
- 25 -
Expenditures
Operating expenses
This encompasses those expenses that arise in the course of the ordinary activities of the Group, as
well as any losses incurred. These are recognized in the statement of income as they are incurred.
Years
Property and equipment:
Buildings 25 - 50
Right-of-use assets More than 1 - 25 or the
lease term, whichever is
shorter (provided that
lease term is more than
one year)
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5
Long-term leasehold land 46 - 50
Leasehold improvements 10 or the lease term,
whichever is shorter
Investment properties 10 - 25
Chattel mortgage properties 5
Intangible assets with finite lives:
Software costs 5
CDI 10
CRI 3
The Group reviews periodically the useful life and the depreciation and amortization method to
ensure that these are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the depreciable
assets. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the depreciation and amortization period or
method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Borrowing costs
The Group recognizes borrowing costs as expense in the year in which these costs are incurred.
Borrowing costs consist of interest expense calculated using the effective interest method that the
Group incurs in connection with borrowing of funds.
*SGVFS038920*
- 26 -
Retirement Benefits
Defined benefit plan
At the end of the reporting period, the Group determines its net defined benefit liability (or asset) as
the difference between the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan
assets, adjusted for any effect of asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic
benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the
plan. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.
Defined benefit costs recognized in the statement of income consist of the following:
· service costs – include current service costs, past service costs (recognized when plan amendment
or curtailment occurs) and gains or losses on non-routine settlements; and
· net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset – pertains to the change during the period
in the net defined benefit liability (or asset) that arises from the passage of time, which is
determined by applying the discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit
liability or asset.
Changes in the net defined benefit liability (or asset) also include remeasurements comprising
actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling,
excluding net interest on defined benefit liability (or asset). The Group recognizes theses
remeasurements immediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. The Group does not reclassify
these remeasurements to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance
policies, and are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to the
Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price is
available, the Group estimates the fair value of plan assets by discounting expected future cash flows
using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or
expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the
settlement of the related obligations).
The Group recognizes its right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a
defined benefit obligation as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is
virtually certain.
Share-based Payment
Employees of the Parent Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, where
employees render services as consideration for equity instruments. The Parent Company determines
the cost of equity-settled transactions at fair value at the date when the grant is made, and recognizes
as ‘Compensation and fringe benefits’, together with a corresponding increase in equity (‘Other
equity reserves’), over the period in which the service is fulfilled. The cumulative expense
recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects to the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Parent Company’s best estimate of the number
*SGVFS038920*
- 27 -
of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of income for a
period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of
the period.
Leases
Policies applicable effective January 1, 2019
The Group determines at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by assessing
whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-
term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes right-of-use assets representing the
right to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities to make lease payments.
· Right-of-use assets
At the commencement date of the lease (i.e, the date the underlying asset is available for use), the
Group recognizes right-of-use assets measured at cost. The cost of right-of-use assets includes
the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made
at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Subsequent to initial
recognition, the Group measures the right-of-use assets at cost less any accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group presents the right-of-use assets in ‘Property and equipment’ and subjects it to
impairment in line with the Group’s policy on impairment of nonfinancial assets.
· Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the
present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term discounted using the Group’s
incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to
borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a
similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The lease payments
include fixed payments, any variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and any
amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects exercising the option to
terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as
expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
After the commencement date of the lease, the Group measures the lease liabilities by increasing
the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities (recorded in ‘Interest expense on
bills payable and other borrowings’), reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments
made, and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or
to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
*SGVFS038920*
- 28 -
leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense under ‘Occupancy and
equipment-related costs’ on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a lessor
For finance leases where the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of the leased item, the Group recognizes a lease receivable in the statement of financial
position at an amount equivalent to the net investment (asset cost) in the lease. The Group includes
all income resulting from the receivable in ‘Interest income on loans and receivables’ in the statement
of income.
The residual value of leased assets, which approximates the amount of guaranty deposit paid by the
lessee at the inception of the lease, is the estimated proceeds from the sale of the leased asset at the
end of the lease term. At the end of the lease term, the residual value of the leased asset is generally
applied against the guaranty deposit of the lessee when the lessee decides to buy the leased asset.
In operating leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership of an asset, the Group recognizes rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease
terms. The Group adds back the initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating
lease to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognizes them as rental income over the lease
term on the same basis. The Group recognizes contingent rents as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.
Where a reassessment was made, the Group commenced or ceased its lease accounting from the date
when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for first three scenarios above, and at
the date of renewal or extension period for last scenario above.
Group as lessee
At the inception of the lease, the Group capitalized finance leases, which are lease arrangements that
transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item,
at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. The Group included the amounts capitalized in ‘Property and equipment’ with the
corresponding liability to the lessor included in ‘Other liabilities’. The Group apportioned the lease
payments between the finance charges (recorded in ‘Interest expense on bills payable and other
borrowings’) and reduction of the lease liabilities so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability.
The Group depreciated the leased assets over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or
the respective lease terms, if there was no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership
by the end of the lease term.
*SGVFS038920*
- 29 -
For operating leases where the lessor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of
the asset, the Group recognized the lease payments as expense in the statement of income on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as lessor
Policies for lessor accounting under PAS 17 are substantially similar with those under PFRS 16, as
described above.
Provisions
The Group recognizes provisions when:
· the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
· it is probable that an outflow of assets embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation; and
· a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance
contract, the Group recognizes the reimbursement as a separate asset but only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain. The Group presents the expense relating to any provision in the
statement of income, net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, the Group determines provisions by discounting
the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used,
the Group recognizes the increase in the provision due to the passage as ‘Interest expense on bills
payable and other borrowings’.
Income Taxes
Income tax on profit and loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is
determined in accordance with tax laws and is recognized in the statement of income, except to the
extent that it relates to items directly recognized in OCI.
Current tax
The Group measures current tax assets and liabilities for the current periods at the amount expected to
be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities using the tax rates and tax laws that are enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax
The Group provides for deferred tax using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary
differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.
The Group recognizes deferred tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences, including asset
revaluations. The Group recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences,
carryforward of unused tax credits from the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over
the regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the
*SGVFS038920*
- 30 -
extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax credits from MCIT and unused NOLCO can be
utilized.
The Group, however, does not recognize deferred tax on temporary differences that arise from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income.
The Group does not also provide deferred tax liabilities on non-taxable temporary differences
associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries and an associate. With respect to investments in
foreign subsidiaries, the Group does not recognize deferred tax liabilities, except where the timing of
the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Group reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at each reporting date and reduces the
recognized amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable income will
be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. The Group reassesses
unrecognized deferred tax assets at each reporting date and recognizes amounts to the extent that it
has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
The Group measures deferred tax assets and liabilities at the tax rates that are applicable to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
For current and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in OCI, the Group recognizes them
also in OCI and not in the statement of income.
In the consolidated financial statements, the Group offsets deferred tax assets and liabilities if a
legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred
taxes related to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
The Group computes for the diluted EPS by dividing the aggregate of net income for the period
attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, adjusted for the effects of any dilutive shares.
Segment Reporting
The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of
the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that
offers different products and serves different markets. Refer to Note 6 for the detailed disclosure on
segment information.
*SGVFS038920*
- 31 -
Fiduciary Activities
The Group excludes from these financial statements the assets and income arising from fiduciary
activities, together with related undertakings to return such assets to customers, where the Group acts
in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent.
The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with PFRS requires the Group to make
judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. The Group continually
evaluates judgments and estimates and uses as basis its historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events. The Group reflects the effects of any changes in estimates in
the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.
Judgments
(a) Classification of financial assets (applicable effective January 1, 2018)
The Group classifies its financial assets depending on the results of the SPPI test and on the
business model used for managing those financial assets.
When performing the SPPI test, the Group applies judgment and evaluates relevant factors and
characteristics such as the behavior and nature of contractual cash flows, its original currency
denomination, the timing and frequency of interest rate repricing, contingent events that would
alter the amount and/or timing of cash flows, leverage features, prepayment or extension options
and other features that may modify the consideration for the time value of money.
As a second step, the Group performs business model assessment to reflect how financial assets
are managed in order to generate net cash inflows based on the following factors:
· business objectives and strategies for holding the financial assets;
· performance measures and benchmarks being used to evaluate the Group’s key management
personnel accountable to the financial assets;
· risks associated to the financial assets and the tools applied in managing those risks;
· compensation structure of business units, including whether based on fair value changes of
the investments managed or on the generated cash flows from transactions; and
· frequency and timing of disposals.
In applying judgment, the Group also considers the circumstances surrounding the transaction as
well as the prudential requirements of the BSP, particularly the guidelines contained in Circular
No. 1011.
*SGVFS038920*
- 32 -
(c) Determination of lease term for lease contracts with renewal and termination options (applicable
effective January 1, 2019)
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any
periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any
periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group
applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the
option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an
economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement
date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances
that is within its control that affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or
to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization
of the leased asset).
In classifying such arrangements as operating leases, the Group considers the following:
· the lease does not transfer ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
· the lessee has no option to purchase the asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently
lower than the fair value at the date the option is exercisable;
· the present value of the minimum lease payments is substantially lower than the fair value of
the leased asset;
· the losses associated with any cancellation of the lease are borne by the lessor; and
· the lease term is not for the major part of the asset’s economic useful life.
When the above terms and provisions do not apply, the Group classifies the lease arrangements as
finance leases.
(e) Contingencies
The Group is currently involved in legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable cost for the
resolution of claims has been developed in consultation with the aid of the outside legal counsels
handling the Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results.
Management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will affect the results of
operations. It is probable, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected
by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to the proceedings
(Note 34).
*SGVFS038920*

· the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and
· the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.
Estimates
(a) Credit losses on financial assets effective January 1, 2018
The Group’s ECL calculations are mainly derived from outputs of complex statistical models and
expert judgment, with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable
inputs as well as their independencies. The Group considers the following elements of the ECL
models, among others, as significant accounting judgments and estimates:
· segmentation of the portfolio, where the appropriate ECL approach and/or model is used,
including whether assessments should be done individually or collectively;
· quantitative and qualitative criteria for determining whether there has been SICR as at a given
reporting date and the corresponding transfers between stages;
· determination of expected life of the financial asset and expected recoveries from defaulted
accounts;
· development of ECL models, including the various formulas and the choice of inputs;
· determination of correlations and interdependencies between risk factors, macroeconomic
scenarios and economic inputs, such as inflation, policy rates and collateral values, and the
resulting impact to PDs, LGDs and EADs; and
· selection of forward-looking information and determination of probability-weightings to
derive the ECL.
Refer to Note 16 for the details of the carrying value of financial assets subject to ECL and for the
details of the ECL.
In addition to specific allowance against individually significant loans and receivables, the Group
also makes a collective impairment allowance against exposures which, although not specifically
identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when originally
granted. For the purpose of a collective impairment, loans and receivables are grouped on the
basis of their credit risk characteristics such as internal credit risk rating, collateral type, past-due
status and term. Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated
for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk
characteristics similar to those in the group.
Refer to Note 16 for the details of the provision for credit losses recognized in 2017.
*SGVFS038920*
- 34 -
assets that can be recognized, based upon the availability of future taxable income in reference to
financial forecast and tax strategies. The Group takes into consideration the loan portfolio and
deposit growth rates .
The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs (such as market
interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific adjustments (such as
the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating, or to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease).
The carrying amount of lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019 is disclosed in Note 29.
The discount rate is based on zero-coupon yield of government bonds with remaining maturity
approximating the estimated average duration of benefit payment. Future salary increases are
based on the Group’s policy considering the prevailing inflation rate. The mortality rate used is
based on publicly available mortality table modified accordingly with estimates of mortality
improvements. The employee turnover is based on the Group’s most recent experience.
The fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price is
available, the Group estimates the fair value of plan assets by discounting expected future cash
flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the
maturity or expected disposal date of those assets.
The present value of retirement obligation and fair value of plan assets are disclosed in
Note 28.
*SGVFS038920*
- 35 -
The Group also assesses impairment on its property and equipment, investment properties and
chattel properties, and intangibles with finite useful lives and considers the following impairment
indicators:
· significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating
results;
· significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall
business; and
· significant negative industry or economic trends.
Except for investment properties and land and building where recoverable amount is determined
based on fair value less cost to sell, the recoverable amount of all other nonfinancial assets is
determined based on the asset’s value-in-use (VIU), which considers the present value of
estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the asset or group
of assets. The VIU calculation is most sensitive to the following assumptions: production
volume, price, exchange rates, capital expenditures, and long-term growth-rates.
The carrying values of the Group’s property and equipment, investments in subsidiaries and an
associate, investment properties, intangible assets, and other nonfinancial assets are disclosed in
Notes 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
The carrying values of the Group’s goodwill and key assumptions used in determining VIU are
disclosed in Note 14.
In estimating the cost of notified and IBNR claims, the Group uses past claims settlement trends
as primary technique to predict future claims settlement trends. At each reporting date, the Group
assesses the estimates for adequacy and charges to provision any changes made to the estimates.
The carrying values of total provisions for claims reported and claims IBNR are included in the
‘Insurance contract liabilities’ disclosed in Note 22.

Introduction
The Parent Company’s BOD has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the
Group’s risk management framework. As delegated by the BOD, the Risk Oversight Committee
(ROC) is mandated to set risk appetite, approve frameworks, policies and processes for managing
risk, and accept risks beyond the approval discretion provided to management. The ROC advises on
the overall current and future risk appetite and strategy and assists in overseeing the implementation
of those strategies and business plans by senior management. Details of the Parent Company’s risk
framework are discussed under the Risk Management Disclosure Section of the Parent Company’s
annual report.
The Group’s activities are principally related to the development, delivery, servicing and use of
financial instruments. Risk is inherent in these activities but it is managed through a process of
ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. This
process of risk management is critical to the Group’s continuing profitability.
The Group defines material risks (at group level) as those risks from any business activity large
enough to threaten the Parent Company’s capital position to drop below its desired level resulting in
either a P
=13.3 billion increase in risk weighted assets or a =
P1.7 billion reduction in earnings and/or
qualifying capital which translate into a reduction in CAR by 20 bps.
Resulting from the assessments based on the premise identified above, the Parent Company agrees
and reviews on a regular basis the material risks that need particular focus from all three lines of
defense. For the assessment period 2019-2021, these are based on the following nine (11) material
risks, which are grouped under Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 risks, and shall be covered in the ICAAP
Document and required for monitoring.
Pillar 1 Risks:
1. Credit Risk (includes Counterparty and Country Risks)
2. Market Risk
3. Operational Risk
Pillar 2 Risks:
4. Credit Concentration Risk
5. Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB)
6. Liquidity Risk

The Risk Management Group (RMG) provides the legwork for the ROC in its role of formulating the
risk management strategy, the development and maintenance of the internal risk management
framework, and the definition of the governing risk management principles. The RMG provides
assistance to the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) on capital management and the Board
Policy Committee on the management of regulatory capital.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the non-recovery of credit exposures (on-and-off balance sheet exposures). Managing
credit risk also involves monitoring of migration risk, concentration risk, country risk and settlement
risk. The Group manages its credit risk at various levels (i.e., strategic level, portfolio level down to
individual transaction).
The credit risk management of the entire loan portfolio is under the direct oversight of the ROC and
Executive Committee. Credit risk assessment of individual borrower is performed by the business
sector, remedial sector and credit management sector. Risk management is embedded in the entire
credit process, i.e., from credit origination to remedial management (if needed).
Among the tools used by the Group in identifying, assessing and managing credit risk include:
· Documented credit policies and procedures: sound credit granting process, risk asset acceptance
criteria, target market and approving authorities;
· System for administration and monitoring of exposure;
· Pre-approval review of loan proposals;
· Post approval review of implemented loans;
· Work out system for managing problem credits;
· Regular review of the sufficiency of valuation reserves;
· Monitoring of the adequacy of capital for credit risk via the CAR report;
· Monitoring of breaches in regulatory and internal limits;
· Credit Risk Management Dashboard;
· Diversification;
· Internal Risk Rating System for corporate accounts;
· Credit Scoring for retail accounts; and
· Active loan portfolio management undertaken to determine the quality of the loan portfolio and
identify the following:
a. portfolio growth
b. movement of loan portfolio
c. adequacy of loan loss reserves
d. trend of nonperforming loans (NPLs)
e. concentration risk (per classified account, per industry, clean exposure, large exposure,
contingent exposure, currency, security, facility, demographic, etc.)
The Group follows the BOD approved policy on the generic classification of loans based on the type
of borrowers and the purpose of the loan. The loan portfolio is grouped based on the underlying risk
characteristics that are expected to respond in a similar manner to macroeconomic factors and
forward looking conditions.
Credit-related commitments
The exposures represent guarantees, standby letters of credit (LCs) issued by the Parent Company and
documentary/commercial LCs which are written undertakings by the Parent Company.
*SGVFS038920*
- 38 -
To mitigate this risk the Parent Company requires hard collaterals, as discussed under Collateral and
other credit enhancement, for standby LCs lines while commercial LCs are collateralized by the
underlying shipments of goods to which they relate.
· For corporate accounts - deposit hold outs, guarantees, securities, physical collaterals (e.g., real
estate, chattels, inventory, etc.); as a general rule, commercial, industrial and residential lots are
preferred
· For retail lending - mortgages on residential properties and vehicles financed
· For securities lending and reverse repurchase transactions - cash or securities
The disposal of the foreclosed properties is handled by the Asset Management Sector which adheres
to the general policy of disposing assets at the highest possible market value.
Management regularly monitors the market value of the collateral and requests additional collateral in
accordance with the underlying agreement. The existing market value of the collateral is considered
during the review of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Generally, collateral is not held
over loans and advances to banks except for reverse repurchase agreements. The Group is not
permitted to sell or repledge the collateral held over loans and advances to counterparty banks and
BSP in the absence of default by the owner of the collateral.
Maximum exposure to credit risk after collateral held or other credit enhancements

The internal limit of the Parent Company based on the Philippine Standard Industry Classification
(PSIC) sub-industry is 12.00% for priority industry, 8.00% for regular industry, 30.00% for power
industry and 25% for activities of holding companies versus total loan portfolio.
Generally, the Group’s exposures can be categorized as either Non-Retail and Retail. Non-Retail
portfolio of the Group consists of debt obligations of sovereigns, financial institutions, corporations,
partnerships, or proprietorships. In particular, the Group’s Non-retail portfolio segments are as
follows: Sovereigns, Financial Institutions, Specialised Lending (e.g. Project Finance), Large
Corporates, Middle Market and Commercial SME, government-owned and controlled corporations
(GOCC) and LGUs. Retail exposures are exposures to individual person or persons or to a small
business, and are not usually managed on an individual basis but as groups of exposures with similar
risk characteristics. This includes Credit Cards, Consumer Loans and Retail SME, among others.
*SGVFS038920*
- 44 -
Specific borrower rating models were developed by the Group to capture specific and unique risk
characteristics of each of the Non-Retail segment. The borrower risk rating is measured based on
financial condition of the borrower combined with an assessment of non-financial factors such as
management, industry outlook and market competition. The BRR models captures overlays and early
warning signals as well.
The Group uses a single scale with 26 risk grades for all its borrower risk rating models. The 26-risk
grade internal default masterscale is a representation of a common measure of relative default risk
associated with the obligors/counterparties. The internal default masterscale is mapped to a global
rating scale.
Facility Risk Rating on the other hand assesses potential loss of the Group in case of default, which
considers collateral type and level of collateralization of the facility. The FRR has 9-grades, i.e. FRR
A to FRR I.
The CRR or final credit risk rating shall be expressed in alphanumeric terms, e.g. CRR 1A which is a
combination of the general creditworthiness of the borrower (BRR 1) and the potential loss of the
Group in the event of the borrower’s default (FRR A).
The credit quality and corresponding BRRs of the Parent Company’s and PNBSB receivables from
customers are defined below:
BRR 3 Strong
Borrower has a strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. No existing disruptions or future
disruptions are unlikely. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances could
lead to somewhat lesser capacity to meet financial obligations than in higher-rated borrowers.
Probability of going into default in the coming year is very minimal/low.

Aaa to Aa3 - fixed income are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk, but
their susceptibility to long-term risks appears somewhat greater.
A1 to A3 - fixed income obligations are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit
risk, but have elements present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment over the long term.
Baa1 and below - represents those investments which fall under any of the following grade:
· Baa1, Baa2, Baa3 - fixed income obligations are subject to moderate credit risk. They are
considered medium grade and as such protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable.
· Ba1, Ba2, Ba3 - obligations are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial
credit risk.
· B1, B2, B3 - obligations are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
· Caa1, Caa2, Caa3 - are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
· Ca - are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery
of principal and interest.
· C - are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for
recovery of principal or interest.
Below are the financial assets of the Group and the Parent Company, gross of allowances, excluding
receivables from customers, which are monitored using external ratings.

Liquidity risk is monitored and controlled primarily by a gap analysis of maturities of relevant assets
and liabilities reflected in the maximum cumulative outflow (MCO) report, as well as an analysis of
available liquid assets. The MCO focuses on a 12-month period wherein the 12-month cumulative
outflow is compared to the acceptable MCO limit set by the BOD. Furthermore, an internal liquidity
ratio has been set to determine sufficiency of liquid assets over deposit liabilities.
Liquidity is monitored by the Parent Company on a daily basis through the Treasury Group.
Likewise, the RMG monitors the static liquidity via the MCO under normal and stressed scenarios.
*SGVFS038920*

The table below shows the financial assets and financial liabilities’ liquidity information which
includes coupon cash flows categorized based on the expected date on which the asset will be realized
and the liability will be settled. For other assets, the analysis into maturity grouping is based on the
remaining period from the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date or if earlier, the
expected date the assets will be realized.

To monitor the liquidity levels, the Group computes for its Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which is
the ratio of HQLA to the total net cash outflows. As of December 31, 2019, LCR reported to the BSP
is 127.48% and 131.93% for the Group and the Parent Company, respectively.
The Group also computes for its Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which is the ratio of the available
stable funding to the required stable funding. Both LCR and NSFR should be maintained no lower
than 100.00% on a daily basis under normal situations. As of December 31, 2019, NSFR reported to
the BSP is shown in the table below (amounts, except ratios, are expressed in millions):

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse movements in factors that affect the
market value of instruments, products, and transactions in an institutions’ overall portfolio. Market
risk arises from market making, dealing, and position taking in interest rate, foreign exchange and
equity markets. The succeeding sections provide discussion on the impact of market risk on the
Parent Company’s trading and structural portfolios.

advantage of market opportunities. For internal monitoring of the risks in the trading portfolio, the
Parent Company uses the Value at Risk (VaR) as a primary risk measurement tool. It adopts both the
Parametric VaR methodology and Historical Simulation Methodology (with 99% confidence level) to
measure the Parent Company’s trading market risk. Both the Parametric models and Historical
Simulation models were validated by an external independent validator. Volatilities used in the
parametric are updated on a daily basis and are based on historical data for a rolling 261-day period
while yields and prices in the historical VaR approach are also updated daily. The RMG reports the
VaR utilization and breaches to limits to the risk taking personnel on a daily basis and to the ALCO
and ROC on a monthly basis. All risk reports discussed in the ROC meeting are noted by the BOD.
The VaR figures are back tested to validate the robustness of the VaR model. Results of backtesting
on a rolling one year period are reported also to the ROC.
VaR assumptions/parameters
VaR estimates the potential loss on the current portfolio assuming a specified time horizon and level
of confidence at 99.00%. The use of a 99.00% confidence level means that, within a one day horizon,
losses exceeding the VaR figure should occur, on average, not more than once every one hundred
days.
Backtesting
The validity of the assumptions underlying the Parent Company’s VaR models can only be checked
by appropriate backtesting procedures. Backtesting is a formal statistical framework that consists of
verifying that actual losses are within the projected VaR approximations. The Parent Company
adopts both the clean backtesting and dirty backtesting approaches approach in backtesting. Clean
backtesting, consists of comparing the VaR estimates with some hypothetical P&L values of the
portfolio, having kept its composition unchanged. In this case, the same portfolio is repriced or
marked-to-market at the end of the time interval and the hypothetical P&L is then compared with the
VaR. The other method, called dirty backtesting, consists of comparing the VaR estimates with the
actual P&L values at the end of the time horizon. This method, however, may pose a problem if the
portfolio has changed drastically because of trading activities between the beginning and the end of
the time horizon since VaR models assume that the portfolio is "frozen" over the horizon. The Parent
Company uses the regulatory 3-zone (green, yellow and red) boundaries in evaluating the backtesting
results. For the years 2019 and 2018, the number of observations which fell outside the VaR is within
the allowable number of exceptions in the green and yellow zones to conclude that there is no
problem with the quality and accuracy of the VaR models at 99.00% confidence level. Nonetheless,
closer monitoring and regular review of the model’s parameters and assumptions are being
conducted.

Stress Testing
To complement the VaR approximations, the Parent Company conducts stress testing on a quarterly
basis, the results of which are being reported to the BOD. Scenarios used in the conduct of stress test
are event driven and represent the worst one-off event of a specific risk factor. Results of stress
testing are analyzed in terms of the impact to earnings and capital.
VaR limits
Since VaR is an integral part of the Parent Company’s market risk management, VaR limits have
been established annually for all financial trading activities and exposures. Calculated VaR compared
against the VaR limits are monitored. Limits are based on the tolerable risk appetite of the Parent
Company. VaR is computed on an undiversified basis; hence, the Parent Company does not consider
the correlation effects of the three trading portfolios.
Repricing mismatches will expose Group to interest rate risk. The Group measures the sensitivity of
its assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations by way of a “repricing gap” analysis using the
repricing characteristics of its financial instrument positions tempered with approved assumptions.
To evaluate earnings exposure, interest rate sensitive liabilities in each time band are subtracted from
the corresponding interest rate assets to produce a “repricing gap” for that time band. The difference
in the amount of assets and liabilities maturing or being repriced over a one year period would then
give the Group an indication of the extent to which it is exposed to the risk of potential changes in net
interest income. A negative gap occurs when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds
the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. Vice versa, positive gap occurs when the amount of
interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.
*SGVFS038920*

During a period of rising interest rates, a company with a positive gap is better positioned because the
company’s assets are refinanced at increasingly higher interest rates increasing the net interest margin
of the company over time. During a period of falling interest rates, a company with a positive gap
would show assets repricing at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which may restrain the
growth of its net income or result in a decline in net interest income.
For risk management purposes, the loan accounts are assessed based on next repricing date, thus as an
example, if a loan account is scheduled to reprice three years from year-end report date, slotting of the
account will be based on the date of interest repricing. Deposits with no specific maturity dates are
excluded in the one-year repricing gap except for the portion of volatile regular savings deposits
which are assumed to be withdrawn during the one year period and assumed to be replaced by a
higher deposit rate.
The Group uses the Earnings at Risk (EaR) methodology to measure the likely interest margin
compression in case of adverse change in interest rates given the Group repricing gap. The repricing
gap covering the one-year period is multiplied by an assumed change in interest rates to yield an
approximation of the change in net interest income that would result from such an interest rate
movement. The Group BOD sets a limit on the level of EaR exposure tolerable to the Group. EaR
exposure and compliance to the EaR limit is monitored monthly by the RMG and subject to a
quarterly stress test.
The following table sets forth the repricing gap position of the Group and the Parent Company:

As one of the long-term goals in the risk management process, the Group has also implemented the
adoption of the economic value approach in measuring the impact of the interest rate risk in the
banking books to complement the earnings at risk approach using the modified duration approach.
Cognizant of this requirement, the Group has undertaken the initial activities such as identification of
the business requirement and design of templates for each account and the inclusion of this
requirement in the Asset Liability Management business requirement definition.
Foreign currency liabilities generally consist of foreign currency deposits in the Parent Company’s
and PNBSB’s FCDU books, accounts made in the Philippines or which are generated from
remittances to the Philippines by Filipino expatriates and overseas Filipino workers who retain for
their own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, foreign currency deposit accounts with the Parent
Company and foreign currency-denominated borrowings appearing in the regular books of the Parent
Company.
*SGVFS038920*
- 60 -
Foreign currency deposits are generally used to fund the Parent Company’s foreign currency-
denominated loan and investment portfolio in the FCDU. Banks are required by the BSP to match the
foreign currency liabilities with the foreign currency assets held through FCDUs. In addition, the
BSP requires a 30.00% liquidity reserve on all foreign currency liabilities held through FCDUs.
Outside the FCDU, the Parent Company has additional foreign currency assets and liabilities in its
foreign branch network.
The Group's policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within acceptable limits and within
existing regulatory guidelines. The Group believes that its profile of foreign currency exposure on its
assets and liabilities is within conservative limits for a financial institution engaged in the type of
business in which the Group is involved.
The table below summarizes the exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. Included in the table are the
financial assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by currency (amounts in Philippine
peso equivalent).

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements. Transfers into Level 3 reflect changes in market conditions as a result of which
instruments become less liquid.
*SGVFS038920*
- 66 -
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of
Level 3 financial assets at FVOCI of the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2019
and the range of values indicating the highest and lowest level input used in the valuation techniques.
Credit spreads
The Group differentiates between credit spreads and discount margins/spreads (more widely used to
any discounted cash flow type modes). Credit spreads reflect the credit quality of the underlying
instrument, by reference to the applicable benchmark reference rates (i.e., PHP BVAL). Credit
spreads can be implied from market prices and are usually unobservable for illiquid or complex
instruments.
Price-to-book multiples
The price-to-book ratio measures an equity price in relation to its book value. The Group uses price-
to-book multiples of comparable instruments as benchmark references.
Fair values of Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2018 are not
material to the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill
As discussed in Note 1, on February 9, 2013, the Parent Company acquired 100.00% of voting
common stock of ABC, a listed universal bank. The acquisition of ABC was made to strengthen the
Parent Company’s financial position and enlarge its operations.
The Parent Company accounted for the business combination with ABC under the acquisition method
of PFRS 3. The Group has elected to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at
proportionate share of identifiable assets and liabilities. The business combination resulted in the
recognition of goodwill amounting to P =13.4 billion.
Goodwill acquired through the above business combination has been allocated to three CGUs which
are also reportable segments, namely: Retail Banking, Corporate Banking and Global Banking and
Market. Goodwill allocated to the CGUs amounted to = P6.1 billion, =
P4.2 billion and P
=3.1 billion,
respectively. CDI is allocated to Retail Banking while CRI is allocated to Corporate Banking.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the reporting period, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
CDI and CRI, on the other hand, are assessed for impairment where indicator(s) of objective evidence
of impairment has been identified. Impairment testing is done by comparing the recoverable amount
of each CGU with its carrying amount. The carrying amount of a CGU is derived based on its net
assets plus the amount allocated to the CGU. The recoverable amount is the higher of a CGU’s fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use. The goodwill impairment test did not result in an
impairment loss of goodwill of the CGUs as the recoverable amount for these CGUs were higher than
their respective carrying amount.
*SGVFS038920*
- 86 -
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs have been determined on the basis of value in use calculation
using the discounted cash flows (DCF) model. The DCF model uses earnings projections based on
financial budgets approved by senior management and the BOD of the Parent Company covering a
three-year period and are discounted to their present value. Estimating future earning involves
judgment which takes into account past and actual performance and expected developments in the
respective markets and in the overall macro-economic environment.

Global Global
Retail Corporate Banking Retail Corporate Banking
Banking Banking and Market Banking Banking and Market
Pre-tax discount rate 10.29% 10.29% 6.37% 11.90% 11.90% 7.76%
Projected growth rate 4.32% 4.32% 4.32% 6.50% 6.50% 6.50%
The calculation of value in use is most sensitive to interest margin, discount rates, projected growth
rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period, and current local gross domestic
product.
The discount rate applied have been determined based on cost of equity for Retail and Corporate
Banking segments and weighted average cost of capital for Global Banking and Market segment.
The cost of equity was derived using the capital asset pricing model which is comprised of a market
risk premium, risk-free interest rate and the beta factor, all of which were obtained from external
sources of information.
Management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions used would
cause the carrying value of the units to exceed their recoverable amount.

In line with its Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), the Parent Company
maintains a capital level that not only meets the BSP’s CAR requirement, but also covers all material
risks that it may encounter in the course of its business. The ICAAP process highlights close
integration of capital planning and strategic management with risk management. The Parent
Company has in place a risk management framework that involves a collaborative process for
assessing and managing identified Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 risks. The Parent Company complies with the
required annual submission of updated ICAAP.
BSP also requires the Basel III Leverage Ratio (BLR), which is designed to act as a supplementary
measure to the risk-based capital requirements. BLR intends to restrict the build-up of leverage in the
banking sector to avoid destabilizing deleveraging processes, which can damage the broader financial
system and the economy. Likewise, it reinforces the risk-based requirements with a simple, non-risk
based “backstop” measure. BLR is computed as the capital measure (Tier 1 capital) divided by the
total exposure measure and should not be less than 5.00%.
As of December 31, 2019, BLR reported to the BSP is shown in the table below (amounts, except
ratios, are expressed in millions):

The RBC ratio shall be calculated as Total Available Capital (TAC) divided by the RBC requirement.
TAC shall include the aggregate of Tier 1 capital that is fully available to cover losses of the insurer
at all times on a going-concern and winding up basis and additional Tier 2 less certain deductions,
subject to applicable limits and determinations. The RBC requirement is the required capital to cover
the insurance risks computed using the IC-prescribed regulations.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, PNB Gen has an estimated statutory net worth amounting to
=960.6 million and P
P =597.1 million, respectively. PNB Gen’s RBC ratio as of December 31, 2019 and

The Group and the Parent Company expect to contribute = P1,148.1 million and =P1,089.5 million,
respectively, to the defined benefit plans in 2020. The average duration of the retirement liability of
the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2019 is 16.0 years and 13.0 years,
respectively.
The fair values of plan assets by each class as at the end of the reporting periods are as follow:
All equity and debt investments held including investments in UITF have quoted prices in active
markets. The remaining plan assets do not have quoted market prices in an active market, thus, their
fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow methodology, using the Group’s current
incremental lending rates for similar types of loans and receivables.
The fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 for the Group includes
investments in the Parent Company shares of stock with fair value amounting to =
P305.0 million and
=321.2 million, respectively.
P
The plan assets have diverse investments and do not have any concentration risk.
*SGVFS038920*

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of each
significant assumption on the defined benefit obligation as of the end of the reporting period,
assuming all other assumptions were held constant:

-10.00% 47,273 -10.00% 64,019
*Restated to include PNB Gen
Full actuarial valuations were performed to test the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to a
1.00% increment in salary increase rate and a 1.00% decrement in the discount rate. The results also
provide a good estimate of the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to a 1.00% decrement in
salary increase rate and a 1.00% increment in the discount rate.
The Group and the Parent Company employs asset-liability matching strategies to maximize
investment returns at the least risk to reduce contribution requirements while maintaining a stable
retirement plan. Retirement plans are invested to ensure that liquid funds are available when benefits
become due, to minimize losses due to investment pre-terminations and maximize opportunities for
higher potential returns at the least risk.
The current plan assets of the Group and the Parent Company are allocated to cover benefit payments
in the order of their proximity to the present time. Expected benefit payments are projected and
classified into short-term or long-term liabilities. Investment instruments that would match the
liabilities are identified. This strategy minimizes the possibility of the asset-liability match being
distorted due to the Group’s and the Parent Company’s failure to contribute in accordance with its
general funding strategy.

29. Leases
Group as Lessee
The Group has entered into commercial leases for its branch sites, ATM offsite location and other
equipment. These non-canceleable leases have lease terms of 1 to 25 years. Most of these lease
contracts include escalation clauses, an annual rent increase of 2.00% to 10.00%. The Group ROU
asset is composed of the Parent Company’s branch sites and its subsidiaries offices under lease
arrangements.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options
are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align
with the Group’s business needs. Management exercises judgement in determining whether these
extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised.
Rent expense charged against current operations (included in ‘Occupancy and equipment-related
costs’ in the statements of income) amounted to =
P581.1 million, =P844.6 million and =

Finance Lease
Group as Lessor
Leases where the Group substantially transfers to the lessee all risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased asset are classified as finance leases and are presented as receivable at an
amount equal to the Group’s net investment in the lease. Finance income is recognized based on the
pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment outstanding in
respect of the finance lease (effective interest method). Lease payments relating to the period are
applied against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned
finance income.
The future minimum lease receivables under finance leases are disclosed under ‘Loans and
Receivables’ in Note 10.
Under Philippine tax laws, the Parent Company and certain subsidiaries are subject to percentage and
other taxes (presented as Taxes and Licenses in the statements of income) as well as income taxes.
Percentage and other taxes paid consist principally of gross receipts tax and documentary stamp tax.
Income taxes include the corporate income tax, discussed below, and final taxes paid which
represents final withholding tax on gross interest income from government securities and other
deposit substitutes and income from the FCDU transactions. These income taxes, as well as the
deferred tax benefits and provisions, are presented as ‘Provision for income tax’ in the statements of
income.
RCIT rate is 30.00% and interest allowed as a deductible expenses is reduced by 33.00% of interest
income subjected to final tax. MCIT of 2.00% on modified gross income is computed and compared
with the RCIT. Any excess of MCIT over the RCIT is deferred and can be used as a tax credit
against future income tax liability for the next three years. In addition, the Parent Company and
certain subsidiaries are allowed to deduct NOLCO from taxable income for the next three years from
the period of incurrence. FCDU offshore income (income from non-residents) is tax-exempt while
gross onshore income (income from residents) is generally subject to 10.00% income tax. In
addition, interest income on deposit placement with other FCDUs and offshore banking units (OBUs)
is taxed at 15.00%. Income derived by the FCDU from foreign currency transactions with non-
residents, OBUs, local commercial banks including branches of foreign banks is tax-exempt while
interest income on foreign currency loans from residents other than OBUs or other depository banks
under the expanded system is subject to 10.00% income tax.

The Parent Company and Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. (EPPI) signed two joint venture
Agreements (JVAs) for the development of two real estate properties of the Parent Company included
under ‘Other assets’ and with carrying values of =
P1.2 billion at the time of signing. EPPI and the
Group are under common control. These two projects are among the Parent Company’s strategies in
reducing its non-performing assets.
The Parent Company contributed the aforementioned properties into the joint venture (JV) as
approved by BSP. EPPI, on the other hand, contributed its resources and technical expertise for the
completion of the said JV. The Parent Company is prohibited to contribute funds for the
development of the JV. Income from the sale of the properties under the JV will be shared by the
Parent Company and EPPI in accordance with the terms of the JVAs.
In July 2016, the Parent Company executed deeds of conveyance to EPPI on the areas of the land
under the JVA arrangement. The execution of the deeds of conveyance was made to facilitate the
issuance of the condominium certificates of title to the buyers.

Relevant information on assets/liabilities and income/expense of the retirement plan assets follows:
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the retirement fund of the Group and the Parent Company
includes 8,841,622 and 7,513,746 PNB shares, respectively, classified as financial assets FVTPL.
There are no limitations and restrictions over the PNB shares while the corresponding voting rights
are exercised by a trust officer or any of its designated alternate officer of TBG.
In addition to the regular retirement funds, TBG also manages the funds of the Parent Company’s
employee investment plans.
In the normal course of business, the Group makes various commitments and incurs certain
contingent liabilities that are not presented in the financial statements including several suits and
claims which remain unsettled. No specific disclosures on such unsettled assets and claims are made
because any such specific disclosures would prejudice the Group’s position with the other parties
with whom it is in dispute. Such exemption from disclosures is allowed under PAS 37, Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The Group and its legal counsel believe that any losses
arising from these contingencies which are not specifically provided for will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial statements.
In 2019, the Group and the Parent Company’s outstanding provisions for legal claims remained at
=0.5 billion as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
P
Tax Assessment
In the ordinary course of the Group’s operations, certain entities within the Group have pending tax
assessments/claims which are in various stages of protest/appeal with the tax authorities, the amounts
of which cannot be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the bases of said protest/appeal
are legally valid such that the ultimate resolution of these assessments/claims would not have material
effects on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On April 26, 2018, the BOD of the Parent Company and PNB Holdings approved the exchange of all
their holdings in PNB Gen for shares in ABIC. As a result, in 2018, the Group reclassified all the
assets and liabilities of PNB Gen to ‘Assets of disposal group classified as held for sale’ amounting to
=8.2 billion and ‘Liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale’ amounting to P
P =7.2 billion,
respectively, in the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2018. The
business of PNB Gen represents the Group’s non-life insurance business, included in the ‘Others’
business segment.
On September 13, 2019, ABIC submitted a revised offer to purchase all of the shares of PNB Gen
owned by the Parent Company and PNB Holdings through cash acquisition instead. The Parent
Company and PNB Holdings did not assent to ABIC’s revised offer due to certain regulatory
requirements for the parties to undergo a price discovery process with other possible acquirers. On
October 1, 2019, ABIC acknowledged the joint decision of the Parent Company and PNB Holdings,
formally closing the former’s negotiations to purchase the shares of PNB Gen. With this, the Group
reverted the assets and liabilities of PNB Gen from ‘Assets and liabilities of disposal group classified
as held for sale’ of the Group to their respective accounts in the consolidated statements of financial
position. Likewise, the results of its operations in 2018 and 2017 amounting to P =220.0 million
(net loss) and =
P70.4 million (net income), respectively, were also reverted from discontinued
operations to continuing operations.

Loans and receivables are considered NPL, even without any missed contractual payments, when
considered impaired under existing accounting standards, classified as doubtful or loss, in litigation,
and/or there is evidence that full repayment of principal and interest is unlikely without foreclosure of
collateral, if any. All other loans, even if not considered impaired, are considered NPL if any
principal and/or interest are unpaid for more than 90 days from contractual due date, or accrued
interests for more than 90 days have been capitalized, refinanced, or delayed by agreement.
Microfinance and other small loans with similar credit characteristics are considered NPL after
contractual due date or after they have become past due. Restructured loans are considered NPL.
However, if prior to restructuring, the loans were categorized as performing, such classification is
retained.
NPLs remain classified as such until (a) there is sufficient evidence to support that full collection of
principal and interests is probable and payments of interest and/or principal are received for at least
six (6) months; or (b) written-off.
As of December 31, 2019, gross and net NPL ratios of the Group and the Parent Company as reported
to BSP were 3.05% and 1.59%, and 1.99% and 0.68%, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, gross
and net NPL ratios of the Group and the Parent Company were 2.87% and 1.69% and 1.76% and
0.34%, respectively. Most of the NPLs are secured by real estate or chattel mortgages.
In the aggregate, DOSRI loans generally should not exceed the Parent Company’s equity or 15.00%
of the Parent Company’s total loan portfolio, whichever is lower. As of December 31, 2019 and
2018, the Parent Company is in compliance with such regulations.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Introduction
We strongly believe that the success of our Bank is defined by the health of its business, the well-
being of its employees, customers, and stakeholders, and the good future of generations to come.
It is our aim to contribute positively to the country’s economy, our society, and the environment by
focusing on initiatives which promote ethical business practices, strong corporate governance, and
sound risk management.
PNB’s Sustainability Policy, illustrating our mission, was developed to guide us in conducting our
business responsibly. This Policy is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). The Corporate Sustainability Unit of Public Affairs Group, formally established in
August 2019, proactively engages employees in living out this mission.
Moreover, we are committed to embodying the values of diversity and inclusion as part of our
culture. In August 2019, we joined the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment
(PBCWE) which makes us the first local universal bank to undergo the Economic Dividends for
Gender Equality (EDGE) assessment in preparation for our EDGE Certification.
PNB is a Filipino, private, universal bank with a global presence committed to provide relevant
financial solutions to customers anywhere in the world. We generate value through our strategy
focused on Safe, Aggressive, and Profitable Growth.
Our capacity to grow and sustain our business are contingent on the quality of our human capital,
the condition of our physical resources, the viability of our initiatives, and our relationship with
customers, employees, and stakeholders.
We believe that Sustainability starts from within, that is, by cultivating an inclusive and collaborative
work culture, helping all employees, regardless of gender and background, have equal access to
relevant training and opportunities to develop skills and capabilities needed to succeed and
improve their well-being. Through this policy, the Bank commits to educate and engage its
employees, leading them to align with PNB’s thrust on sustainability.
• Ensuring the longevity of our business by maintaining profitability, attracting and retaining
the right talents, providing relevant financial solutions, caring for our tangible and intangible
resources, and upholding a culture of continuous improvement;
• Providing our employees with the right competencies and learning opportunities as well as
equal access to programs that can enhance productivity leading to self-sufficiency and a
better quality of life; and

Sustainability initiatives with guidance from the Office of the President and the Corporate
Governance & Sustainability Committee, a Board-level committee tasked to promote
environmental, social, and governance advocacies and exercise corporate governance oversight
functions.

Reporting Process
GRI 102-21,102-29,102-31, 102-32, 102-46, 102-47
Our Sustainability Report was prepared in coordination with the Lucio Tan Group of Companies
(LTG) and SGV & Co.
In mid-2019, LTG and its subsidiaries, including PNB, enlisted the services of SGV & Co. to assist
in the prioritization of each member company’s material sustainability issues to drive the
framework and content of their respective reports.
In preparation for our Sustainability Report, the Corporate Sustainability Unit worked closely with
LTG and SGV & Co., from the task of engaging our stakeholders, identifying and prioritizing issues
that are important to Bank and our stakeholders to gathering relevant data and information from
our concerned units.
By going through our preparations, we developed an appreciation for our existing best practices
as well as an understanding of the gaps and challenges that we are facing. Our company’s and
stakeholders’ focus and interests change overtime. In order to stay relevant in the banking
industry, we recognize our capacity to improve on how we do our business and how we operate.
Likewise, we recognize the importance of addressing the needs of our stakeholders, caring for our
environment, and contributing significantly to social welfare development and nation-building.
Below is the process our Bank went through in preparing this Sustainability Report:

stakeholders. Based on the results, a total of 37 issues were originally identified covering
economic, social, environmental, and governance categories. The table adjacent to the matrix lists
down the top 10 key material issues for prioritization. Economic performance, employment, and
risk management are considered as the highest-ranking issues of the Bank.

It is important to note that the list of top topics relevant to our stakeholders this year is the same
with the previous year’s, except for the inclusion of topics such as Digital Transformation and
Innovation and Customer Engagement and Satisfaction. This is consistent with the Bank’s vision
to use digital to connect and help support the economy, keeping in mind our customers and their
needs in this fast-paced and ever-changing times.
Topics related to environment such as energy efficiency, water and waste management,
greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, on the other hand, were also considered important
this year but ranked lower compared to other topics that concern the business, our customers, our
employees, and society in general.
Our final materiality assessment this year reflects the Bank’s focus on improving our business
performance while working on equipping our employees with the necessary skills and tools useful
for contributing to the growth and longevity of our business and operations.

ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE
GRI 103-1, 103-2, 103-3, 201-1
UN SDG 1, 8, 10
Economic Performance ranked as the top material issue for the Bank and our stakeholders since
2017, when we first began our Sustainability reporting.
As a financial institution, the Bank generates and distributes economic values to various
stakeholders, namely: salaries and benefits of employees, taxes paid to the government,
payments to suppliers and service providers for products and services rendered, dividends for
shareholders, and donations or charitable contributions for disadvantaged and marginalized
sectors in the society.
The table below shows that the Bank’s economic value for the society significantly increased in
2019 from 2018 as we became more active in our Sustainability efforts and as we began to position
ourselves as a Partner of the government in social welfare development and nation-building.
Dividend Policy
We adopt a dividend policy where “dividends shall be declared and paid out of the surplus profits
of the Bank at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine in
accordance with the provisions of law and the regulations of the Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas (BSP)
and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), subject to compliance with such financial
regulatory requirements as may be applicable to the Bank”.
We adhere to the Vendor Management Policy which requires business owners to periodically
evaluate the capacity and technical capability of their external vendors and suppliers. The Bank’s
Procurement Committee, which is composed of senior management officers from different sectors,
convene regularly to review and deliberate on each submitted bids of accredited suppliers and
vendors.
The Bank, through Corporate Services Division, follows a simple procurement process of (1)
sourcing from accredited suppliers and vendors, (2) canvassing and bidding, (3) review /
assessment of bids, (4) and awarding of contracts. However, there are cases that non-accredited
8
suppliers and vendors are engaged by the Corporate Services Division and this is only allowed if
the purchase / sourcing is seasonal / occasional, one-time, or considered an emergency.
To ensure consistency of standard and specification of all our offices and branches, the Bank
sources its purchases and services from Metro Manila-based suppliers and vendors. Some
purchases and services, however, are sourced from local suppliers and vendors (province-based)
to minimize the logistical costs.
The Bank’s Institutional Banking Sector (IBS) adheres to the principle of Cognizant ESG Lending
supporting businesses and industries that promote and contribute to countryside development and
nation-building, environmental protection and conservation, and sustainable development. As with
the other loan accounts, these type of businesses and projects for the Bank’s financing are
evaluated in compliance with regulatory and internal requirements and requires the necessary
committee approvals.
The chart below shows the Bank’s portfolio geared to support the achievement of the United
Nations’ SDGs. Over 40% of the total loans of the Bank in 2019 was used to finance business and
projects that support and contribute to sustainable development.
Sustainable Cities
and Communities
3%

The Bank has supported more business and industries that are into (1) food manufacturing and
production; (2) energy transmission, generation, distribution; and (3) infrastructure development.
In compliance with the BSP’s 2019 Circular requiring all banks to integrate environmental, social,
and governance financing guidelines in their business operations, we drafted our own Sustainable
Financing Policy and Framework for lending and investing. Once approved, the said policy and
framework will allow the Bank to effectively assess and manage our environmental and social risks
and impacts associated with supporting particular businesses, projects, and industry sectors.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Although environmental concerns ranked lower in the Bank’s materiality assessment, we consider
these as an integral part of our business and operations. To show our commitment to mitigating
climate change, we began to take concrete actions by raising environmental awareness among
our employees through campaigns and initiatives for reducing the Bank’s environmental footprint
such as improving energy and water consumption, implementing proper waste management, and
ensuring that the businesses, projects, and industries we support are also environmentally
compliant.
The report below covers the environmental footprint of the Bank’s headquarters in Metro Manila,
namely, the PNB Financial Center in Pasay City and PNB Makati Center in Makati City. The Bank
aims to report on its countrywide environmental footprint in 2021, covering our branches and
offices all over the Philippines.
The Bank ensures that the businesses and industries we support are compliant with environmental
regulations and laws through covenants provided for in financial agreements or contracts and
submission of permits such as Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECC) issued by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and other pertinent government
agencies.
Businesses such as power, water, infrastructure, industrial, and mining projects situated in
environmentally critical areas such as national parks, sanctuaries, and potential tourist spots are
considered Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs). Thus, these ECPs are required to submit
Environmental Assessment Reports as part of their loan requirements, and their business
proposals are reviewed and carefully deliberated on by relevant Bank committees. Upon granting
approval on the loan, the Bank continuously monitors the environmental compliance, including the
climate change related risks and impacts of these ECPs to the overall business during the period
of engagement and partnership.
For 2019, the Bank provided financing for environmentally compliant ECPs as follows:

Participating on the Earth Hour and International Water Day
UN SDG 6, 7, 13
During the water and power crisis on the first and second quarters of 2019, the Bank encouraged
all employees to contribute in reducing the use of electricity and conserving water at work and in
their own homes by actively participating in the World Water Day last March 22, 2019 and the
Earth Hour last March 30, 2019.
The World Water Day is a yearly international day of observance declared by the United Nations
to help spread awareness on the importance of water conservation and inspire people to take
steps in making safe water available for everyone.
The Earth Hour, on the other hand, is the annual 60-minute “lights-off” global movement led by the
World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) that aims to empower individuals, organizations, and
governments to take tangible actions to help protect the planet. In solidarity with the rest of the
country and the world, the Bank turned off all non-essential lights in its branches and offices from
8:30PM to 9:30PM, including the lights on all its billboards nationwide. The Bank also initiated a
call tree advisory among its employees on March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2019 encouraging them
to join the 60-minute symbolic switch off of non-essential lights and appliances in their own homes.
On July 2019, we launched Project P.L.A.N.E.T. (Protect, Love, And Nurture the Environment
Together), an internal campaign which aims to raise environmental and sustainability awareness
among employees and inspire them to reduce their environmental footprint at work and in their
own homes.
A component of Project P.L.A.N.E.T. is a 6-month long campaign piloted at the PNB Financial
Center and PNB Makati Center that aims to reduce the Bank’s consumption of single-use plastics
as our commitment to mitigate the effects of climate change, protect the seas and oceans, and
preserve underwater wildlife.
The Bank’s Corporate Sustainability Unit, together with the Human Resource Group and the Food
Committee, oriented the food concessionaires on the campaign. They were also consulted and
requested to provide alternatives to single-use plastic packaging and utensils such as food-grade
containers and paper boxes, paper cups, and bamboo-made or starch-made eating utensils. In
addition, the employees were also encouraged to reduce their usage of single-use plastics by
discontinuing the use of plastic straws and using their own food containers when buying meals or
snacks from canteen concessionaires. Since the start of the campaign in July 2019, the Bank was
successful in reducing the monthly consumption of the following single-use plastics:

Power and Fuel Consumption
GRI 103-1,103-2, 103-3, 302-1, 302-2, 302-4
UN SDG 7, 8, 12, 13
The Bank’s Administration Group monitors our overall power and fuel consumption, and comes
up with initiatives to help reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
The tables below illustrate the energy and fuel consumption which are the main greenhouse
emissions at our headquarters in Metro Manila for 2019. The Bank’s Pollution Control Officers
monitor our emissions and ensure effective compliance.

The decrease in the energy consumption of PNB Financial Center was due to the continuous use
of LED lighting fixtures, conversion of remaining conventional bulb and fluorescent lighting fixtures
into LED, and proper scheduling of chiller operation.
PNB Makati Center, on the other hand, increased its power consumption in 2019 despite
converting conventional bulb and florescent lighting fixtures to LED. The increase in energy
consumption is mainly due to the series of construction work in different operating floors of the
said building. The Administration Group plans to reduce the energy consumption of PNB Makati
Center beginning next year by employing energy saving measures such as replacement of
conventional air conditioning units with energy efficient or inverter-type air conditioning units,
replacement of all electronic ballast florescent light to LED tube lights, and retrofitting of energy
efficient elevators among others.

The water supply of our headquarters is sourced from third party service providers. Water supply
for PNB Makati Center is sourced from Manila Water, while PNB Financial Center’s water source
is Maynilad. Water supplied by Manila Water and Maynilad are stored in cistern tanks located at
the basement of PNB Makati Center and the ground level parking area of PNB Financial Center,
respectively, and are then pumped and distributed to different water lines for use in toilets, urinals,
water closets and washbasins.
The table below illustrates the water consumption of the Bank, reflecting a significant increase in
the consumption at PNB Makati Center due to the increase in the water rate during the year, as
well as the construction work in said building.

Water is one of the main resources that the Bank uses for operating its business. As a natural
resource that is easily depleted, we take concrete steps for conserving water in all our branches
and offices. Among the measures taken by the Bank for reducing consumption and conserving
water is decreasing the water volume required to flush urinals and toilet bowls and replacing
defective faucets, pipes, flushometers, urinals and water closet fittings, and submersible transfer
pumps among others.
The Bank, through our Administration Group, observes proper waste disposal for reducing our
environmental footprint by engaging the services of environmentally compliant and DENR-
accredited service providers.
Effluent water or wastewater discharged by our headquarters are mainly from toilets and
cafeterias. For PNB Makati Center, wastewater is directly discharged to the sewer line of Manila
Water which then goes to the Manila Water’s centralized treatment plants also located in Makati.
Wastewater from PNB Financial Center, on the other hand, is treated in its own Sewage Treatment
Plan located inside the complex and is then released to Manila Bay after the treatment.
Manila Water, Maynilad, and DENR’s Laguna Lake Development Authority regularly tests the
wastewater of the Bank’s headquarters to see if this is still within the acceptable parameters or
range of effluent water characteristics for conventional pollutants.
Domestic and hazardous waste from the PNB Makati Center are collected by the Makati
Commercial Estate Association, Inc. (MACEA) while an outsourced service provider accredited by
13
DENR collects the domestic and hazardous wastes from PNB Financial Center and are disposed
in DENR-accredited landfills.
The table below illustrates the list of common wastes from the Bank’s headquarters.
Paper wastes, on the other hand, are sold to recycling centers for a fee. Proceeds from the sale
of paper wastes are then used by the Administration Group to support or fund the waste
management activities of Bank. To help reduce copy paper wastage, the Bank encourages
employees to use the blank side of copy papers for draft documents instead of using fresh, clean
ones.
The Cards Banking Solutions Group has also shifted to issuance of electronic statement of
accounts (e-SOA) to its card clients which helps reduce the Bank’s paper consumption and
environmental footprint. The table below illustrates a significant decrease in the consumption of
copy paper and Bank forms in 2019.

SOCIAL PERFORMANCE
Our people are our valued resource. It is to our people that we owe our success in the banking
industry for over a century. Hence, the Bank continues its effort to ensure that it has a steady pool
of qualified and competent talents, and commit to their overall improvement and well-being by
adhering to strict labor laws and regulations, implementing fair employment practices, promoting
work-life balance, and cultivating a culture of community engagement, gender equality, and
diversity and inclusion in employment and in the workplace.
The Human Resource Group has the role and responsibility of recruiting, developing, and
maintaining the pool of talents for the Bank’s overseas and domestic operations. Hiring of new
employees, particularly for officers, go through a strict review process and are subject to committee
and Board approvals.
As of December 31, 2019, the Bank has a total of 8,550 full-time and permanent employees. The
female population in 2019 took up 66.16% (5,657) of the total employee population, with the
number of female employees slightly higher in 2019 than in 2018. The Bank continues to maintain
a gender disparity of 2:1 ratio as the male population is only 33.84% of the total workforce
compared to the female population taking 66.16% of the total workforce. 49% or 4,232 of the total
manpower complement of the Bank is covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

the women (61.64%) and employees below 30 years of age (37.57%) leaving the Bank more than
the men and those beyond 30 years of age.
As part of its strategic recruitment efforts, the Bank joins job fairs of credible and reputable partner
universities and colleges, as well as made use of referrals from the employees and social media
channels such as LinkedIn and JobStreet in reaching out to fresh graduates and new talents to
meet the diverse manpower complement requirement of the Bank.
PNB considers its employees not only as its most valued resource but also as significant partner
in its success and journey towards sustainability. As a way of taking good care of our people, the
Bank commits to providing its employees with a more competitive and holistic benefits and rewards
program through the Human Resource Group’s “COMPLETE”, which stands for Compensation
and Benefits, Monetary Allowance, Perks and Privileges, Life-Work Effectiveness, Employee
Rewards and Recognition, Training and Development, and Engagement.
The Bank’s benefits and rewards package continues to be the most competitive in the industry.
Our full-time employees are entitled to and provided all government-mandated benefits. In
addition to a competitive salary and law-mandated benefits, our employees are also provided a
comprehensive health care plan, group life insurance coverage, retirement plan, guaranteed
bonuses, free uniforms or uniform allowance, holiday pay, monthly rice subsidy, loyalty awards,
and financial death allowance. Eligible employees can also avail of car plans, housing loans, and
even personal loans. They can also extend their health care plan to their dependents and even
apply for scholarship for their children dependents through Tan Yan Kee Foundation, the corporate
social responsibility arm of the Lucio Tan Group of Companies.
The Bank provides more than what the law requires in terms of leaves in order to promote work-
life balance among our employees. We encourage our employees to avail their sick, vacation,
and mandatory leaves to help them recover, re-energize, and spend quality time with their families.
Other leaves available for eligible employees include birthday leave, emergency leave, solo parent
leave, paternity and maternity leaves, bereavement leave, special leave for female employees,
and special leave for victims under the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act of 2004.
The Bank is also supportive of its employees who have become new parents and encourages
them to avail of their parental leaves to help them recover physically and adjust to their new role
as parents. For 2019, there were a total of 164 employees who took parental leaves, 95.12% of
which are female. Out of this number, only 160 or 97.56% of the employees returned to work after
their parental leave during the reporting period.

In line with the Bank’s commitment to gender equality, diversity and inclusion, the Bank ensures
that it exercises fairness and non-discrimination in designing its remuneration and rewards
package by using the following criteria such as the employees’ role in the organization,
competency level, work performance, previous work experience, certifications, and employment
tenure among others. Our employees’ gender orientation and background are not factors to their
salary and benefits package.
In order to stay competitive and relevant in the banking industry, the Bank regularly reviews and
improves its remuneration and benefits package for employees by aligning it with the existing labor
laws, current banking industry practices, and with the ongoing CBA. Any changes or improvements
in the remuneration and rewards package of the employees are presented to and discussed with
the Corporate Governance/Nomination/Remuneration and Sustainability Committee of the Bank
and then endorsed for approval to the Board of Directors.
As part of the Bank’s Total Performance Management System, the Bank utilizes a competency-
based annual Performance Appraisal and Development Report (PADR) for its officers and staff. It
is used to drive organizational performance by identifying and documenting individual performance
goals that are aligned with the organization’s business objectives.
To ensure that annual targets are achieved, the Bank implements a Quarterly Performance
Progress Review (QPPR) to assess the officer’s progress against the performance targets that
have been agreed upon at the beginning of the year. This enables the officer to understand
performance expectations and enhance his or her competencies as the review focuses on
performance coaching. Likewise, it provides a vehicle to strengthen the feedback mechanism
during the year-long performance cycle. The QPPRs for the first three quarters are used as
supporting documents / reference for the annual evaluation of the officer’s performance.
As our valuable resource and significant partner in our growth and success, and in our
sustainability, the Bank commits to equip our employees with the necessary knowledge, skills, and
tools so they can effectively perform their roles and functions while helping fulfill their professional
and personal growth.
The Bank’s Human Resource Group, through its Institute for Banking Excellence (IBE), has
developed different capacity building programs for employees based on their learning and
development needs to help them perform their roles effectively. Among the in-house training
programs provided by IBE for the employees include the 3-day New Employees Orientation,
leadership management and supervisory skills development for those who are positioned to
19
become officers, functional and soft skills trainings, job-specific and technical trainings, mentoring,
and career development. External specialized trainings are also offered to the employees to equip
them with the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to perform their functions.
In addition, the Bank’s Retail Banking Sector provides trainings for its own employees to help them
in their functions such as Anti-Money Laundering, Sales Training, Capacity Enhancement
Program, Internal Control Consciousness, and Infotech Awareness. In compliance with the
requirements of regulatory agencies such as the BSP, the Bank also conducts instructor-led
trainings and provides e-learning platforms to help update employees on existing and new
banking-related laws and regulations.
The Bank also runs three leadership and career development programs: The Junior Executive
Development Institute (JEDI) is for new hires who graduated with honors; the Management
Training Program (MTP) is for homegrown talents in the head office and business units, and the
Branch Operations Training Program (BOTP) is for branch-assigned employees. These programs
aim to develop high-potential rank-and-file employees to be highly competent officers of the Bank.
Moreover, the Human Resource Group runs a Mentoring Café twice to thrice a year. This is a
project under the PNB Mentoring Program aimed at providing an appropriate venue for high
potential employees to gain insights and learn from their mentors. This is to prepare them for the
possibility of assuming key / critical roles in the organization. As of reporting period, the Bank has
a total of 157 mentors and 157 mentees.
A total of 8,136 or 95% of the total employee population underwent 593,821 training hours,
averaging 69.43 training hours per employee for 2019. Out of the total trained employees, 66.99%
are female while 33.01% are male. Employees in rank and file and junior manager positions also
numbered the most training hours.
PNB recognizes remarkable and exemplary performance of its employees. The Bank, through the
Human Resource Group, holds a nationwide Service Excellence Award ceremony every quarter
to recognize employees individually or in teams who delivered exceptional results while helping
the business and upholding the core values of the Bank. In addition to this, the Bank’s Retail
Banking Sector also has an annual recognition night called “Gabi Ng Parangal” to award
employees with remarkable performance in growing the business, as well as to encourage high-
level performance.
The Human Resource Group continues to implement its internal values campaign for employees
called “L.O.V.E. (Living Our Values Everyday) @ PNB” which features inspiring stories via email
blasts of employees who demonstrate and live the core values of the Bank. The campaign also
20
aims to inspire others to practice PNB’s values in their day to day experiences to achieve personal
success and the Bank’s business goals.
In the third Quarter of 2019, the Human Resource Group launched its new recognition program
called “What Outstanding Work! (W.O.W!)” which aims to inspire employees through a timely
recognition for values-centered and business-driven behaviors. Employees recognized on the spot
are also given tokens of appreciation that they can keep as mementos. These employees and
their inspiring stories are also featured in the L.O.V.E. @ PNB campaign internal email blast.
On its second year, the Human Resource Group held “Celebrate Love at Work” in February 2019.
It is an engagement project during Valentine’s week where all employees are encouraged to
express their appreciation to PNB, their fellow employees, and our clients through simple acts
such as leaving appreciation notes and offering tokens and gifts.
PNB is taking all the necessary measures to provide a safe and secure work environment for all
its employees. Employment practices and workplace safety and security is part of the Bank's Risk
Management framework.
The Bank’s Occupational Safety, Health and Family Welfare (OSHF) Committee, composed of
representatives from both the management and employees, with the latter represented by labor
union employees, meet regularly to discuss and manage reported work-related hazards, and
monitor and evaluate the committee’s existing programs by ensuring that they are aligned with the
current general labor requirement. Among the efforts of the committee on ensuring the safety and
security of the employees include the conduct of OSH / safety awareness program, dissemination
of safety advisories through different channels, disaster / emergency response training for all floor
marshals-assigned employees, first aid training, deployment of emergency responders, and safety
inspections / analysis of branches among others.
Employees appointed by the Bank as Safety Officers are also regularly updated on their training
such as Basic Occupational Safety and Health Program, Safety Program Audit, and Loss Control
Management. The Bank also has existing guidelines for notification and keeping of records of
accidents or illnesses in the workplace. Any work-related incidents are reported to the OSHF
Committee.
Emergency, fire, and earthquake drills at our Manila and Pasay Headquarters are also conducted
annually by the Bank’s Corporate Security Group with the Makati and Pasay Fire Departments to
help prepare the employees during times of man-made and natural calamities. They also release
e-mail bulletins regularly to provide employees with helpful tips on how to prepare during times
of disasters or calamities.
Employees, particularly those assigned in the branches are also provided trainings on Standard
First Aid and Basic Life Support, and Disaster Preparedness. For 2019, there are 458 employees
trained on Standard First Aid and Basic Life Support, and 50 employees trained on Disaster
Preparedness. The Bank plans to increase the number of employees trained on these topics in
partnership with Philippine Red Cross in 2020.
With the ongoing renovations at the PNB Financial Center and PNB Makati Center, the Bank also
takes extra precautionary measures to ensure the safety and security of the employees by
cordoning off the construction areas, posting safety reminders for employees, and assigning
21
emergency medical response team members and security guards to include inspections or visits
of these areas.
All employees are covered by the Bank’s occupational health and safety management system.
There were no reported incidents of work-related injuries in 2019.
At PNB, we commit and endeavor to promote the holistic growth and development of our
employees. We do not only encourage our employees to take their leaves to relax and spend more
quality time with their families, but we also conduct activities where our employees can show and
share their talents, hobbies, and time with their work colleagues and even with our communities.
In doing so, we do not only help improve the health of our employees, but we also enable
camaraderie among employees, strengthen organization commitment, and boost work-life
balance.
The health of our employees is important to us. We encourage and help our employees
live a healthy lifestyle to improve their health condition and overall well-being. We do this
by encouraging our employees to use the three well-equipped gyms at our Pasay and
Makati Headquarters. We also partner with a fitness gym provider for discounted rates so
our employees can access fitness centers outside of Pasay and Makati areas. We also
encourage our employees to join sports activities organized by different employee groups
or associations such as basketball, badminton, and running. The Bank also organized fun
runs and power classes such as Zumba, Yoga, Dance, Pilates, and Mixed Martial Arts.
The Human Resource Group, in partnership with the Bank’s health care provider,
ValuCare, continues to conduct health and wellness lectures. Wellness bulletins are
released to increase health awareness and by sharing practical tips among all employees.
Lastly, all employees are required to undergo the annual physical examination every year
as part of the Bank’s health care program.
Last October 23, the Human Resource Group partnered with Philippine Airlines to organize
and conduct a Wellness Day. Dubbed “Well @Work”, the said activity was designed to
celebrate workplace wellness, connect employees to the different wellness partners, and
provide tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle. Wellness advocates were invited to share
their expertise through talks and demonstrations on topics ranging from chair yoga,
preparing healthy eats at work, ergonomics in the workplace, and relieving stress through
hypnotherapy. Wellness merchant partners were also invited to provide free services to
our employees such as massage, haircut and scalp analysis, as well as showcase their
products from food, sportswear, gym membership, dental care, insurance, and motivational
and self-help books.
• Sustainable Lifestyle Fair
In November, our Corporate Sustainability Unit under the Public Affairs Group piloted a 3-
day Sustainable Lifestyle Fair for our employees assigned at the PNB Financial Centre in
Pasay City. The 3-day fair was organized to help raise climate change and environmental
awareness among our employees, and encourage them to do their part to help the planet
by reducing their carbon footprint. The event featured an eco-bazaar where invited
merchants showcased eco-friendly and sustainably- sourced products, and organic food
items as alternative products or food items for our employees. Resource persons for the
brown bag learning sessions during lunch breaks for the 3-day fair were also invited to give
22
talks on climate change awareness and environmental sustainability, sustainability and
resilient communities, and Zero Waste 101 and environment-conscious living.
In partnership with Tan Yan Kee Foundation, the CSR arm of the Lucio Tan Group of
Companies, the Bank also helps the employees access affordable but premium quality
organic fresh produce for their own personal consumption. Straight from the farm of Tan
Yan Kee Foundation in Nueva Vizcaya, the harvested organic produce reaches our
employees at least twice a month. By inviting Tan Yan Kee Foundation to sell their organic
produce at PNB Financial and Makati Centers, we are helping our employees to eat healthy
while helping the Foundation and the farmers at the same time.
We acknowledge the importance and role of spirituality in the lives of our employees. In
support of this, we hold daily worship services during lunch break at our in-house chapel
at the PNB Financial Centre. Our own choir group from among our talented employees
sing during the daily mass at our in-house chapel, and we invite renowned priests to
officiate during special mass for healing and other important events. Moreover, we continue
to do the 3 o’clock prayer habit at our PNB Financial Office which encourages our
employees to pause for a few minutes to pray and reflect, and to take a short breather from
their work or meeting.
We also continue to host the annual Fiesta del Sto. Nino celebration at our PNB Financial
Centre in Pasay City every January, where the different images of the Sto. Nino from the
oldest, biggest, and to the smallest images are shown to the public.
We continue to help make shopping convenient for our employees by holding seasonal
employee sale events or bazaars, especially during the Bank’s anniversary and Christmas
season, through our Cards Banking Solutions Group. Concessionaires and entrepreneurs
are invited to put up booths and sell their products and services ranging from food, bags,
clothes, shoes, and accessories. Merchants selling appliances and digital items like
cameras, mobile phones, laptops, and printers are also invited during special employee
sale events or bazaars. By doing this, we also help promote our cards products among our
employees while helping our invited merchants or concessionaires generate sales.
We continue to provide avenues and opportunities that enable camaraderie and help
develop a sense of belongingness and being one with other employees and the
organization such as the Bank anniversary, Chinese New Year celebration, Christmas
Parties and the likes.
The Bank’s quarterly Pulong Ng Bayan townhall meetings and regular townhall
gatherings of the various business units, on the other hand, do not only allow the
employees to get together with their work colleagues but also provide opportunity for them
to hear updates on the Bank’s business and operations straight from the top management.
Our Senior Management meetings, which gathers the heads of all business groups and
their one-down, are conducted on a weekly basis to help keep Bank officers with key
functions updated on our business and operations. The Office of the President’s
roadshows locally and abroad, on the other hand, provide opportunities for the employees
23
to share their experiences, express their opinions, and make suggestions on how to help
improve the Bank’s business and operations to the President and CEO in person.
In 2019, the Bank implemented the use of Facebook Work Chat as a tool for ease of
communication and collaboration among the members of the senior management team
and the regional and area heads of the Branch Banking Group. To date, the Bank’s Work
Chat group has 260 employee members and users.
We listen to our employees’ voices through the representatives of the employees’ union who are
regularly invited to Labor Management Council Meetings by the Bank’s labor relations unit. These
meetings become venues for both the employee union and the Bank to discuss employee
concerns, clarify revisions in HR policies, and collaborate on initiatives. The Bank also has a
Grievance Machinery to address or resolve misunderstanding, dispute, or controversy arising from
the interpretation, and meaning application and implementation of any provision of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement between the employee union and the Bank; and / or between the Bank and
any covered employee.
For 2019, there were no reported labor and human rights violations among employees.
As a financial institution, we are committed to uphold the public’s trust. We do this by ensuring that
our employees, top management, and directors conduct themselves in a lawful and ethical
manner. The Bank’s Human Resource Group has developed and established the following policies
and guidelines to ensure that all employees conduct themselves ethically: Code of Conduct,
Corporate Governance Manual, Policy on Selling PNB Securities, Policy on Soliciting and / or
Receiving Gifts, Personal Investment Policy, Whistleblower Policy , and Office Decorum which
includes the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption provisions. These policies and guidelines are
regularly reviewed and revised as necessary with the approval of the Board of Directors to ensure
its applicability to current work situations.
The Bank’s Code of Conduct, Office Decorum, Whistleblowing Policy and Anti-Bribery / Anti-
Corruption Policy are part of the onboarding process for new hires. New employees are made to
read and understand the said policies and guidelines during their onboarding. They are also
oriented on these policies during the New Hires Orientation. All employees can easily access
these policies and guidelines through the Bank’s intranet facility. In addition, the Bank's
Performance Appraisal and Development Report (PADR) for employees cover employee behavior
such as promoting work ethics and culture of integrity. Supervising officers are expected to ensure
that their subordinates comply with the Bank's rules and policies.
To date, there were no reported incidents of bribery and corruption among employees or with the
Bank’s suppliers / vendors during the covered report period.
24
Continuous education of Bank personnel is an important element in the compliance function to
maintain a sound compliance program. Trainings are provided to make all personnel aware of the
existing banking laws, regulations, policies and procedures relevant to their areas of
responsibilities.
Global Compliance Group, in coordination with the Human Resources Group, conducts basic
compliance awareness training for all existing employees and new hires. All new hires must
undergo compliance and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) awareness training prior assumption of
duties while existing employees are required to participate in refresher courses within a period of
18 to 24 months.
In support of the commitment to uphold and instill a culture of fairness and non-discrimination
among employees, the Bank approved and implemented the Policy on Diversity and Inclusion in
November 2018. The Bank believes that a diverse and inclusive workforce fosters innovation,
increases its markets share, and improves employee acquisition and retention.
Specifically, on gender equality, the PNB has manifested its commitment by becoming the first
domestic universal bank to join the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment
(PBCWE) in May 2019. PBCWE is a coalition composed of influential business employers who
endeavor to take appropriate steps to improve gender equality in their workplaces and business
operations. It was launched in 2017 through a partnership between the Philippine Women’s
Economic Network, Inc. (PhilWEN) and Investing in Women (IW), an initiative of the Australian
Government aimed at women’s economic empowerment in select Southeast Asian countries. In
the Philippines, there are only nine (9) members of the coalition: Accenture, Ayala Land,
Concentrix, Insular Life, Magsaysay Company, Natasha, SGV, SSI Group, Inc. and PNB.
Members of the coalition undergo the Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE)
Certification Assessment which has which has three (3) levels: (1) EDGE Assess - recognizing the
commitment; (2) EDGE Move - showcasing progress in meeting the commitment or targets; and
(3) EDGE Lead - celebrating success for meeting the commitment or targets. The tiered
certification provides the opportunity for the organizations in different stages of their journey
towards gender-equal workplace to obtain recognition for their efforts.
25
As part of the membership, the Bank underwent the EDGE Assessment in the 3rd quarter of 2019.
The assessment will help the Bank understand, identify, and develop solutions to address gaps
and challenges on gender equality in its employment practices and in the workplace.
Below is the summary of findings from the EDGE assessment that the Bank underwent:
• PNB’s career transition chart illustrates, that women are overrepresented at the following
levels (i) rank-and-file (66% women-34% men), (ii) officers below department head level
(68% women - 32% men), (iii) department / branch head level (66% women -34% men),
and (iv) division head level (59% women - 41% men); while there is an overrepresentation
of men at the sector/group head level (39% women - 61% men).
• When it comes to the effectiveness of policies and practices, the analysis suggests
important improvement opportunities for the Bank such as gender diverse candidate pools,
gender composition at the management level, gender composition at any management
level, gender dimension in its succession planning, flexible working options for its
employees, and allocation of resources for gender equality initiatives.
Overall, the inclusive culture based on the employee perception is above the EDGE standard of
50%. Ninety-six percent (96%) of female and male respondents believe that men and women are
given equal opportunities to be hired. Seventy-four percent (74%) of female and male respondents
believe that they are given fair opportunities to be promoted. Sixty-two percent (62%) of female
respondents and sixty-eight (68%) of male respondents consider themselves to be paid fairly for
the work that they do. It is also generally perceived by both men and women that the Bank gives
equal access to career-critical assignments.
The Bank intends to revisit a number of its policies and continuously study the possibility of
including specific provisions on gender such as gender mix of top talents, promotion rates of
mentees classified according to gender, gender mix of identified successors, employment
interviews to be conducted by male and female interviewers, gender diverse candidate pool, and
the like. The Bank shall also explore possible alternative work arrangements for employees.
The results of the EDGE Certification Assessment shall be subject to audit to be conducted by a
third-party auditor which is scheduled in February 2020. The result of the audit will determine the
possible certification level that will be awarded to PNB which will be valid for two (2) years.
Moreover, in order to provide a safe work place for all our employees, the Bank adopted a policy
on Anti-Sexual Harassment pursuant to Republic Act (R.A.) No. 7877, otherwise known as the
Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, and Republic Act No. 11313, otherwise known as the “Safe
Spaces Act” of 2019. Approved in October 2019, the Bank’s Anti-Sexual Harassment Policy covers
all employees with permanent or probationary employment status and provides the definition of
gender-based harassment at the workplace, list of all forms of sexual harassment at work, duties
and responsibilities of the employees and the employer, and the role of the Committee on Conduct
and Investigation that leads the investigation of reported cases.

Moreover, the Bank also signed 2 partnership agreements with the Philippine Red Cross for the
conduct of Standard First Aid & Basic Life Support training for PNB employees and the donation
of 2 ambulance units worth Php5.0 million for Visayas and Mindanao. The partnership with the
Philippine Red Cross is in line with the Bank’s Corporate Sustainability goals which is to provide
all PNB employees with the necessary skills to provide emergency response and enable the Bank
to help other people in emergency situations and times of natural or man-made calamities.
Beyond regulatory compliance, our Bank upholds social and economic areas of its business as
part of its continuing journey towards sustainability. We are committed in preserving the social and
economic areas of our business, examples of which include the following:
• The Bank’s declaration of dividends is subject to compliance with the provisions of law and
the regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), and other financial regulatory requirements as may be applicable to
the Bank.
• PNB complies with established consumer protection practices in order to safeguard their
transactions with the Bank and be heard though appropriate channels when they escalate
feedback and concerns.
• PNB has fulfilled the requirements on general labor and occupational safety and health
standards, as required by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
Our Bank has existing mechanisms in place to monitor its compliance with laws and regulations
in the social and economic areas. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, as
stipulated in its amended charter, is responsible for assessing the Bank's sustainability
performance across various benchmarks, including economic, social and environmental
performance indicators. At the management level, the Corporate Sustainability Unit (CSU) of the
Public Affairs Group has spearheaded various advocacies to support social, environmental, and
economic initiatives. In terms of coordinating relationships, the CSU liaises and establishes a
constructive working relationship with the Marketing and Brand Management Sector, Human
Resource Group, Administration Group, and other relevant parties possessing important roles in
the effective implementation of the Unit's mandate.
We also adhere to the laws and policies, particularly on environmental regulations, of the locality
where we have business operations by ensuring that all our offices and branches have the
necessary business and environmental permits and approvals.
In 2019, there were five (5) reported incidents of minor breaches of environmental laws and
regulations resulting in the imposition of nominal monetary fines concerning air pollution and
hazardous waste management measures, such as failure to replace environmental law officers at
branches and failure to secure additional permits for electrical generators, which were required by
subsequent legislation and regulations. Out of these five (5) reported incidents, two (2) were
already resolved and closed, while the remaining three (3) cases are still awaiting action or
resolution from the DENR.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
We aim to provide the best customer service experience to our clients. We provide them various
channels for their inquiries, requests and complaints on how they can connect with the Bank: 24x7
Customer Service Hotline, Email, Facetime / Skype and Private Messaging.
Our Consumer Protection Policy ensures that any reported complaints are recorded, monitored

a consolidated complaints report is submitted monthly to the Management and Risk Oversight
Committee and quarterly to the BSP.
As part of ensuring the quality of service provided to the client, Customer Experience Division
(CED) developed a project called “After Call Survey for 8573-8888” that aims to secure a
qualitative feedback from customers at point of call.
We continue to look for better ways to improve and provide the best financial solutions for our
customers anywhere in the world.
Our new Marketing and Brand Management Sector studied our customers’ experience in order for
our Bank to develop new products and services or improve on our existing products and services
to help address their financial needs. This exercise was supplemented by the 2-day PNB Sprint
2019: Mindful Customer Transformation Seminar organized by the Human Resource Group’s
Institute of Banking Excellence in late 2019, where select employees from different business
groups were taught how to design and develop bank products and services for identified
customers by studying and understanding their experience and needs. As a result, the Marketing
and Brand Management Sector was able to map out and identify the Bank’s target markets, identify
gaps and challenges in the Bank’s products and services, and develop a marketing and product
development plan for the Bank.
In addition, the Marketing and Brand Management Sector ensures that all advertising and
promotional collaterals of the different business units strictly adhere to the Bank’s branding
guidelines and are compliant to all regulatory requirements, such as those required by the
BSP, SEC, PDIC, BancNet, Department of Trade and Industry, ASC, and Insurance Commission
among others. The Bank’s Social Media Framework is also in place to help us manage our
reputational risk across our social media platforms
For 2019, there were no reported incidents of non-compliance in marketing and labeling efforts of
the Bank.
Currently, the Bank has 1,457 automatic teller machines (ATMs), and 81 cash accept machines

online bank payments, and viewing of transaction history. Customers can also use our mobile

Payment System’s (NRPS) Philippine Electronic Fund Transfer System and Operations Network
or PESONet and InstaPay. Customers can do electronic fund transfers through PESONet and
InstaPay by logging on to their PNB Mobile App. Customers can do real-time electronic fund

For 2019, the Bank’s existing process handled and ensured that all concerns regarding the
processing of client personal data were addressed and resolved immediately.
Our Bank’s mobile and online banking facilities have security features that protect personal data
and other information such as use of log in credentials, One-Time-Pin (OTP), Touch ID, SMS and
email alerts, among others. In addition, the Bank’s Cards Banking and Solutions Group also sends

cards or debit cards.
