Major infrastructure projects, energy security, and corporate expansion all rely on one vital engine: long-term capital.

At the center of driving these investments across the country, Security Bank Capital Investment Corporation (Security Bank Capital) has officially taken top honors. The investment banking arm of Security Bank Corporation was named the Philippines’ Best Investment Bank for Debt Capital Markets (DCM) at the prestiges Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026.

This recognition comes after a landmark year where the firm facilitated over PHP700 billion in long-term funding, connecting governments and leading corporations with the financial backing required to fuel sustainable economic growth.

Pioneering Heavyweight Debt Capital Transactions

During 2025, Security Bank Capital successfully arranged 11 high-impact debt capital market deals, playing a crucial role in deepening domestic liquidity and widening investor participation.

• PHP300 Billion 10-year benchmark Fixed Rate Treasury Notes (FXTN)
• PHP210 Billion Retail Treasury Bond Tranche 31 (RTB 31)

Together, these transactions established pivotal pricing benchmarks while opening up government securities to a broader retail and institutional investor base.
