These awards will help us further our endeavor to deliver the best financial services to the communities that we serve,” said CBI Chairman Lt. Gen. William K. Hotchkiss III (Ret.) who received the awards during the Gawad CFI Awarding Ceremonies held at the DM Hall, Landbank Plaza on August 10, 2016.
“We are thankful that our financial inclusion efforts in the countryside have been recognized by Landbank for six consecutive years now,” he added.
