                    [Summary] => 



Asia United Bank (AUB) is planning to upgrade its status from a commercial bank to a universal bank to open up more opportunities for expansion, a top bank official said. 


The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is requiring banks to first obtain a universal banking license before they are allowed to venture into other non-allied activities.


At the same time, the BSP is also requiring that a universal bank must sell 10 percent of its shares through an initial public offering (IPO) three to five years after obtaining its universal banking license.
