BANKING FORWARD>>
Founded on May 16, 1978 with seventy-six (76) stockholders pooling their resources to address the socio-economic needs of the municipality of Paracale as its priority target.
As catalyst of growth, from our Head Office in Paracale we have at present two (2) owned office branches in the two biggest municipalities in the province of Camarines Norte – Labo and Daet and three (3) Microfinance Banking Offices in Jose Panganiban, Calauag, and Tagkawayan Quezon.
We cater to the financial needs of the province by offering deposit services, working capital financing through short and medium terms and a participant in the alleviation poverty program of the government with the micro financing program of the bank.
In 2014 the Bank transferred its office to the newly constructed owned office building in San Antonio Street, Paracale from rented old office building in Candelaria Street, Paracale, Camarines Norte.
In 2015, the Bank formalized opening of the three (3) Micro Banking Offices located at Tagkawayan and Calauag Quezon and Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte. MBO Tagkawayan Quezon covers the areas of Del Gallego Camarines Sur and Tagkawayan Quezon, while MBO Calauag Quezon covers the areas of Lopez Quezon, Calauag Quezon and some areas of Guinayangan Quezon and MBO Jose Panganiban covers the areas of Jose Panganiban Camarines Norte specially the rural areas. MBOs had been established to extend banking services to unbanked micro clients.
