Banco de Oro Universal Bank (BDO) and the Equitable PCI Bank (EPCIB) are speeding up their integration process with the entry of Macquarie Securities Inc. 


The two major commercial banks were involved in a share swap agreement last year, resulting in a merger with the surviving bank, to be known as Banco de Oro-EPCI Bank Inc.


Immediately after the share swap agreement, BDO officials estimated that it would take over a year to complete the integration of the two banks.
