[edit] History
Allied Bank was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines on April
11, 1977, and granted by the Central Bank of the Philippines the Certificate of Authority
to operate as a commercial bank on May 20, 1977. It was formally opened for business
on June 2, 1977. On August 19, 1977, it was authorized to operate an expanded foreign
currency deposit unit (FCDU) and in December 1981 granted to operate as expanded
commercial bank or universal bank.
As of December 31, 2007, Allied Bank was the 9th largest private domestic commercial
bank in the country in terms of total deposits, and the 10th largest in terms of net worth..
Aside from its 283 domestic branches/offices, Allied Bank has 2 off-shore (OBU)
branches in Bahrain and Guam; wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom (Allied
Bank (UK) Plc); a majority owned subsidiary in Hong Kong (Allied Banking Corporation
(Hong Kong), Ltd.); a majority owned commercial bank subsidiary in Xiamen, Fujian
Province, People's Republic of China (Allied Commercial Bank), and an affiliate
commercial bank based in San Francisco, California, USA with a branch in Guam
(Oceanic Bank). Representative offices were established in Australia, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Singapore and Spain.
In the Philippines, the universal banking group of Allied Bank includes a wholly owned
savings bank, the Allied Savings Bank, wholly owned Allied Forex Corp. and an affiliate
Allied Leasing and Finance Corporation.
On December 7, 2007, the Supreme Court of the Philippines affirmed a judgment
dismissing the state's sequestration of Lucio Tan's companies: "There can be no question
that indeed, petitioner's (the government's) orders of sequestration are void and have no
legal effect." The landmark decision would trigger a planned between Philippine National
Bank (PNB) and another Tan's Allied Banking Corporation. Edgar Bancod, research
head, ATR-Kim Eng Securities, stated that the merged bank would become the country's
4th biggest after Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., Banco de Oro-EPCI Inc., and Bank of
the Philippine Islands. [1][2]
