Maybank opens one-stop full-service center

CEBU, Philippines - To bring its brand of customer service closer to its target customers, Maybank Philippines Inc., opens a full service branch at the Cebu Business Park today, November 11.

The 431 square meter Maybank Cebu Business Center will be a one-stop financial services hub, which will house the bank's Cebu Auto Lending Center, VisMin Personal Loans and Maxi Home Loan Desk, and VisMin Commercial Banking Office.

The new branch is actually a relocation and expansion of the old Maybank branch previously located along Osmeña Boulevard. 

In a press statement, Maybank president and chief executive officer (CEO) Amos Ong said "The business center is envisioned to provide convenience for customers at a central location that is accessible."

He added that "the Maybank experience is what differentiates us in the market and we want to bring this to more customer touch points in our branch network."

Known for innovating better banking products by prioritizing what's best for its clients, the newly opened Maybank Cebu Business Center will complement banking operations of its existing Mandaue branch, which is the first among five new branches opened in 2010. 

In 2010, Maybank opened branches in key cities in the National Capital Region – Valenzuela, Las Piñas, Taguig and Marikina, and the fifth branch was opened in Mandaue City to tap the potential of the highly-industrialized city.
