During a virtual event, Security Bank Corporation received the centennial community award from the Zonta Club of Makati and Environs which recognized the bank’s commitment and support for the club’s projects namely the Bravo Awards and the FilipinaZ Fair.

The award is given to individuals, businesses, organizations, or agencies in the Zonta Club community with a proven track record of empowering women.

In a move to actively promote women empowerment, the majority of Security Bank employees are women, with many holding key management positions. Many of its clients and business partners are female business owners and decision-makers.

“Women Empowerment has always been important to Security Bank as an organization. We make it a point to give back and support women and communities. After all, BetterBanking is also about creating better opportunities for all, and this includes women,” said Ceres Joyce De Jesus, SAVP, Head of Brand and Communications of Security Bank in her acceptance speech.

Since its founding over 69 years ago, Security Bank’s mission has been to enrich lives, empower businesses, and build communities. It has been a partner of the Zonta Club for several years and has supported many of their projects. The Bravo Awards is a principal advocacy project honoring women in various fields of endeavor, while FilipinaZ Fair is an annual fundraising bazaar showcasing products made by women entrepreneurs.
