BDO Unibank Inc. led by bankero Nestor Tan has awarded a P0.30 per share cash dividend for the first quarter of the year after reporting a sharp increase in earnings last year.
The Board of Directors of the country’s largest lender approved the declaration of regular cash dividends on common shares to all stockholders as of March 14, 2022.
The dividend is payable on March 31.

BDO owns the country’s largest distribution network, with over 1,500 consolidated operating branches and more than 4,400 ATMs nationwide. It also has 18 overseas remittance and representative offices in Asia,
