“Our strong performance in 2024, which exceeded our target, underscores our ability to adapt and stay ahead in an evolving landscape. We remain committed to pursuing our goal of growing earnings by 20 percent annually,” said FDC President and CEO Rhoda A. Huang.

Revenue growth played a key role in the company’s performance. Total revenues and other income rose 22% to ₱113.5 billion in 2024, up from ₱92.8 billion the year before, with all business segments contributing double-digit growth:

  • Banking: +23%
  • Real Estate: +11%
