                    [Title] => RCBC Wealth named Private Wealth Bank of the Year in Philippines
                    [Summary] => 
MANILA, Philippines — Rizal Commercial Banking Corp.’s Wealth Management Group has been named Private Wealth Bank of the Year in the Philippines at the 2026 Asian Banking & Finance Awards.

Organized by Charlton Media Group, the Asian Banking & Finance Awards recognizes banks across Asia for excellence in performance, innovation and client service.

For RCBC Wealth, the recognition reflects a year of strong growth and a continued commitment to helping clients manage, protect and grow their wealth with purpose.

RCBC Wealth management group head Jacqueline Wieneke said the award affirms the group’s client-centered approach to private banking, anchored on thoughtful advisory, long-term relationship management and a deeper understanding of the needs of families across generations.

“This award underscores our position as a leading private banking franchise in the region, one that was built not only on strong financial performance, but on a deliberate, client-centric approach to managing and sustaining family legacies across generations,” Wieneke said.

Over the past year, RCBC Wealth recorded strong momentum, with assets under management and its primary client base both growing by 23 percent, reflecting the growing trust of clients in RCBC Wealth’s advisory platform.

The group’s asset growth was supported by a 96.02 percent increase in Treasury assets and a 12.72 percent growth in Trust assets, as clients continued to seek more diversified and sophisticated wealth solutions amid a changing investment landscape.

According to Wieneke, this growth was strengthened by RCBC’s One-Bank strategy, which allowed the Wealth Management Group to work closely with the broader RCBC network in identifying and serving affluent clients already within the bank ecosystem.

The recognition from Asian Banking & Finance further affirms RCBC Wealth’s commitment to delivering private banking solutions that go beyond portfolio performance, helping clients and their families approach wealth as a legacy to be thoughtfully managed, protected and passed on with purpose.
