|February 25, 2026
RIZAL COMMERCIAL Banking Corp. (RCBC) recorded an 11% increase in its net income last year to P10.6 billion as its core businesses continued to grow.
This translated to a 62-basis-point (bp) increase in return on equity to 6.65%, while return on assets rose by 6 bps to 0.81%, the bank said in a disclosure to the stock exchange on Tuesday.
Its financial statement was unavailable as of press time.
RCBC’s net interest income surged by 32% year on year, supported by a more diverse funding base that helped bring down costs.
It also saw better yields on earning assets as its consumer loan book grew by 29%.
