Banks are where we entrust our money or cash for
security or for earning interest income. A bank is
also where we go when we want to obtain loans for
our various financing needs, such as for our
business startup or expansion. Thus, it is very
important that we choose the best banks which we
can gain solid trust and confidence. There are many
factors and indicators that we can check to
determine the banking partner that is best for us,
such as its financial capacity, reputation and
integrity, recognition and awards, corporate
governance and other things that makes a bank a
great financing institution to do business with. When
it comes to knowing the financial stability of banks in
the Philippines, we look into their assets and equity.

loans. Banks pay interest on their clients’ deposits
while they earn interest on the loans they lend to
their debtors. To have an idea on the largest banks
