Philippine Banking Outlook 2026

October 31, 2025

Date – Thursday, 27 November 2025
Location – Fairmont Makati, Manila

Striking the Balance between Profitability, People-Centricity and Process Harmonization

The Philippine banking sector is entering a new era where growth will be defined not only by scale, but by the ability to harmonize profitability, people-centricity, and process efficiency. As financial institutions navigate rising customer expectations, evolving regulations and competitive pressures, the shift is now from strategy to intelligent execution.

The Manila Chapter of the Intellect Oxford School of Core Banking, scheduled for 27 November 2025 at Fairmont Makati, continues the legacy of our global thought leadership platform at Rhodes House, Oxford — bringing Oxford’s spirit of inquiry and collaboration to Asia.

This exclusive, by-invitation event will unite senior banking leaders, innovators, and technology visionaries to explore how AI, composable architecture, and people-centric design are shaping the next phase of banking transformation. Expect an immersive format creating a platform for strategic discussions, peer learning and collective exchange on building intelligent, future-ready banks.
