RBAP marks charter anniversary with symposium

AFTER decades of service, rural bankers are now setting out with a new perspective and renewed vigor after attending a two-day symposium entitled, “Rural Banks: Reliable Partners of Local Communities for Growth.”

The well-attended annual symposium, held last November 10-11 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, commemorates the 57th charter anniversary of the rural banking industry. The event was designed to facilitate capacity building and knowledge sharing among rural bankers, regulators and industry partners. The symposium’s theme, on the other hand, points to the success of rural banking and the role it should aspire to uphold.
