Allied Savings Bank formally changed its name to PNB Savings Bank. PNB Savings Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary and the consumer arm of Philippine National Bank (PNB). The change of name is seen as a validation of PNB’s expansion and strength in the consumer finance industry. It was initiated also to align the image of the savings bank with its mother bank and to capitalize on the brand equity of PNB in the banking industry.

As part of this commitment, PNB Savings Bank is fervently promoting its auto loan program through the Kotse, Kotse, Kooo campaign.
