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 award recognizes excellence in performance, innovation and client service across Asia. Philstar Biz reported the recognition reflects a year of strong growth for RCBC Wealth.
Jacqueline Wieneke, RCBC Wealth management group head, said the award affirms the group's client-centered approach to private banking. Over the past year, the group saw assets under management and its primary client base each grow by 23 percent, driven by a 96.02 percent increase in Treasury assets and a 12.72 percent growth in Trust assets. Wieneke attributed this momentum to clients seeking more diversified wealth solutions amid a changing investment landscape.
The growth was further supported by RCBC's One-Bank strategy, which enables the Wealth Management Group to collaborate with the broader RCBC network in identifying and serving affluent clients within the bank ecosystem. The Asian Banking & Finance award underscores RCBC Wealth's commitment to delivering private banking solutions that go beyond portfolio performance, focusing on managing and sustaining family legacies across generations.
