MANILA, Philippines - United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) has launched loan fairs, thus creating more opportunities for individuals to make their dreams come true, whether owning their first car, building their dream house, creating their best vacation experience or simply owning the latest gadget. UCPB executive vice president and group head for Consumer and Corporate Banking Higinio Macadaeg Jr. said that the success of the UCPB loan fair in the different malls in Luzon including Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao makes the bank more passionate in giving opportunities to individuals who simply want to make their lives better. Since its inception last year, the loan fairs have created awareness of the different types of loans with rates that are competitive in the market. The loan fairs were held at the Venice Piazza in Taguig, Marquee Mall in Pampanga and the Ayala Center Malls in Cebu and Davao in partnership with major real estate developers and top auto dealers. More loan fairs with great deals and freebies will be held in major malls nationwide in the coming months.
