Our History

Rural Bank of Antipolo Inc. is the first bank established in Antipolo by the late Dr. Luisito R. Lopez in 1962. It was ten years after Rural Bank Act No. 720 was enacted which aims to promote and expand the rural economy. According to Dr. Lopez, Antipolo town proper was still grassy then and he was the only person who applied for a license to operate a rural bank at the municipality of Antipolo.

In the 1960s, the town proper “Población” was widened and Sumulong Highway was constructed. Rural Bank of Antipolo, Inc., being the first bank in the area, facilitated and improved productive activities in the community of the town proper. It provided the people in the community an easy access to credit facilities, particularly the “Magkakasuy” and farmers at that time. Thus, the Bank had a fair share in the economic development of Antipolo. Through the years, the small businessmen of Antipolo were its borrowers. The “Kasuy and Suman” industry, which it provided financial assistance, flourished as pilgrims flocked to visit the Virgin of Antipolo.

Today, the City of Antipolo is becoming more urbanized. Subdivisions from low to high end are sprouting in the area and more people/families engage themselves on small businesses, an opportunity for Rural Bank of Antipolo, Inc. to continuously provide financial services on housing and support to the small businessmen despite very stiff competition.

Rural Bank of Antipolo, Inc. is continuously challenged by the changing landscape in the banking industry but it aims to be agile and resilient in the midst of changes. It has started the foundation to go digital, to source mobile digital solution and finally comply with BSP retail payment system and financial inclusion.
