The Land Bank Securities, Incorporated (LSI) held a blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new office at the Philippine Stock Exchange Tower in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City on 26 January 2023, as it positions to become a major player in the Philippine capital markets.
Formerly UCPB Securities, Incorporated, LSI is now the wholly-owned official stock brokerage subsidiary of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) following the merger last year of the former United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) with LANDBANK.
LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia Cayosa Borromeo alongside LSI Chairman and LANDBANK Executive Vice President Liduvino S. Geron led the office blessing. They were joined by LANDBANK Executive Vice Presidents Alex A. Lorayes and Carel D. Halog, First Vice President Atty. Roderick P. Sacro, and LSI Officer-in-Charge Atty. Florence R. Claveria, among other LANDBANK and LSI officers.
“We have high hopes for LSI and its potential to capture a bigger share of the market. As its mother bank, LANDBANK will support the expansion of LSI’s operations as it grows to be a serious player in the capital markets,” said President Borromeo.
LSI connects investors to the Philippine stock market and provides an array of services to invest in listed stocks of companies at the Philippine Stock Exchange.
The stock brokerage company offers services such as traditional or broker-assisted trading, online trading, and lodgement and upliftment of securities.
LSI uses the MyStocks online stock trading portal, which allows investors to conveniently buy, sell, and trade stocks online.
The company also facilitates Stock Market 101 seminars monthly for interested participants who want to know more about how to grow their investments in the stock market.
