Rang-ay 69th Anniversary

69 YEARS OF COUNTRYSIDE BANKING
 
In January 16, 2025, Rang-ay Bank proudly celebrates its 69th year of serving the countryside. Since its founding in 1956, the bank has stood as a testament to the values of trust, resilience, and community spirit, becoming a cornerstone of financial empowerment and progress across Northern Luzon. This milestone is a celebration of the enduring partnerships and shared aspirations between Rang-ay Bank and the communities it serves.
 
Founded on January 16, 1956, by visionary Ilocano leaders Doña Numeriana Tavora-Querol and Don Teofilo A. Nisce, Rang-ay Bank began operations in the humble setting at the ground floor of Atty. Rodolfo and Eufrosina Nisce’s family home. Licensed by then Central Bank of the Philippines, now the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, it opened its doors as a pioneering financial institution committed to uplifting local communities. In nearly seven decades, Rang-ay has grown to be the largest bank of its class in Region 1 and the Cordilleras, recognized as the oldest enduring bank in Ilocandia and one of the oldest in the Philippines. Its globally competitive products and services continue to empower its clients, driving progress and prosperity for the region.
 
Rang-ay Bank operates through 31 strategically located branches in six provinces: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Abra, and Benguet. As the largest bank in its class across Region 1 and the Cordilleras, it takes pride in its team of dedicated bankers who bring innovative solutions to individuals, families, and businesses.
