B. Business Strategy
Historical Perspective
Through the years, BPI strove to deliver the highest standards of
convenience banking through the ingenuity of technology and
creative management. As the recognized "most technologically
advanced bank", BPI introduced the first successful automated
teller machine (ATM) service in the Philippines. Among BPI's
other firsts are: the issuance of the first debit card, the
introduction of cashless shopping with the Express Teller Card,
the establishment of banking kiosks, the Express Banking
Centers, the launching of telephone banking with the Express
Phone, and the use of a Call Center. BPI has distinguished itself
by catering to the ever-evolving needs and lifestyles of the
public.
Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is that country's secondlargest bank, trailing only Metropolitan Bank & Trust. It is also the
Philippines' oldest bank and one of the oldest of all Asian banks.
BPI offers a full range of commercial and retail financial services,
including corporate finance services, asset management, and
brokerage and other financial consulting services. BPI's retail
network includes more than 700 branches throughout the
Philippines, as well as branches in New York, Hong Kong, and
Tokyo. The bank also operates a network of more than 1,200
automated teller machines and more than 8,500 retailer-based
point-of-sale machines. In 1999, BPI pioneered online banking in
the Philippines with the launch of online bank BPI Direct in 1999.
In addition to its banking products and services, BPI has also
developed a strong non-life insurance operation, chiefly under
Bank of the Philippine Islands
by 13% and retail loans grew by 16%. Total deposits was P1,159
billion, a 17% increase year-on-year.
Five- year Forecast for the Company
The business outlook of BPI is a positive one because given that
the company progressed over its three years of operations, it is
probable that future economic benefits will still flow to the entity
for the next two years of its operations. Although the companys
assets, liabilities and capital funds are performing inconsistently,
still the company was still able to cover up all its obligations and
was also able to generate income from deposits by P802.3 billion
in 2012 to P1, 176.2 billion in 2014.
In the forecasted balance sheet in the years 2015 and 2016
shows an increase of its total resources and liabilities which
implies that BPI can generate more of its assets, at the same
time an additional obligation to its creditors.
In the forecasted income statement in the years 2015 and 2016
indicates an increase in the banks gross income of P 46,787 in
2015 and P 52,738 in 2016. Also, earnings per share increased to
P5 which is a good sign of investment.
