Security Bank Corp. is expanding its technology transformation with investments in modern system architecture, artificial intelligence (AI), real-time data platforms, cybersecurity, and automation to improve speed, reliability, and security across its services.
Over the first nine months of 2025, the bank streamlined several core systems and processes, leading to faster transactions, more stable operations, and better compliance handling. Security Bank said these changes also helped improve service delivery for customers and branches.
“Security Bank is building a modern, secure, and customer-centric foundation designed to support sustainable growth while continually improving customer experiences,” said Lucose Eralil, EVP and COO of Security Bank. “Our progress reflects disciplined execution and a forward-looking approach, and these recognitions reinforce the strength of the transformation we are delivering.”
The bank received the Technology Excellence Award for API Banking at the 2025 Asian Technology Excellence Awards for its Enterprise API Platform. The platform turns banking functions into secure and reusable digital tools, allowing the bank to roll out new services faster and connect systems more easily across channels. This also supports its preparation for open banking.
The bank’s Transactor Due Diligence platform was named Best Compliance Risk Technology Initiative at The Asian Banker Global Financial Technology Awards. The fully digital know-your-customer process is now used in 346 branches and has shortened processing time, reduced paperwork, and strengthened compliance checks.
Security Bank also earned recognition from The Asian Banker for its Data Streaming Platform, which was named Best Data Integration and Framework Initiative in Asia Pacific. By moving from scheduled data processing to real-time streaming, the bank can generate insights immediately, support faster transactions, and run real-time analysis across the organization.
According to the bank, these projects reflect a shift toward a digital banking setup built on shared platforms, application programming interfaces, and real-time data, with security designed into each system.
Security Bank said it will continue its multi-year technology program with further investments in AI and automation for fraud management and operations, stronger cybersecurity and threat monitoring, upgrades to core banking and payment systems to support real-time services, and wider use of digital tools across branches and internal operations.
