Security Bank’s (PSE:SECB) Auto Loan “VIP Lane” has been named Best Customer Centric Business Model – Philippines at The Digital Banker’s Global Retail Banking Innovation Awards 2024. The initiative offers high-performing dealer and broker referrers with dedicated and expedited service.
By implementing unique identifiers and ensuring expedited processing times, the VIP Lane program not only optimizes the loan application process but also drives better business outcomes and sets new standards in customer service.

Since its launch, this initiative has reduced loan approval time, streamlined lending, and improved customer experience, leading to more referrals and an expanded customer base for the Bank.
Rahul Rasal, EVP and Retail Banking Segment Head at Security Bank, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, “We’re honored to receive this award from The Digital Banker. Our Auto Loan VIP Lane is living proof of our deep commitment to customer-centricity. By prioritizing the needs of our top brokers and dealers, we’ve been able to enhance the overall customer experience and set new standards in the industry.”
