Established on July 22, 1964, the Rural Bank of Guinobatan Inc. (RBGI) has been a leader in local banking in the province of Albay and Sorsogon City. In the midst of intense growing competition, RBGI strove to cope up and push forward with earnestness to undergo major changes for its betterment. Such event contributed to RBGI’s motivation to establish continuous commitment to its mission and vision.

In the year 2000, RBGI’s identity underwent a transition – both internal and external. RBGI upgraded its capabilities and joined the league of businesses with computerized operations. Its logo underwent a physical change with its transition symbolized by the turning of the pages basked in colours green and blue, set against the silhouette of Mt. Mayon, which represents the bank’s long-term stability and affiliation with the Filipino community.

Innovation is not necessarily born within the threshold of creative or marketing departments. In RBGI’s case, it was realized from the desire to serve the people through a financial aspect. RBGI became an instrument in providing various financial products and services ranging from deposits and savings to Western Union remittances.
