depositors and investing them.
They also provide short-term working capital and
medium- and long-term financing to businesses
engaged in agriculture, services, industry and housing,
and diversified financial and allied services, and to
their chosen markets and constituencies, especially

31. RURAL & COOPERATIVE BANKS
Rural and cooperative banks are the more popular type of
banks in the rural communities. Their role is to promote and
expand the rural economy in an orderly and effective manner
by providing the people in the rural communities with basic
financial services.
Rural and cooperative banks help farmers through the stages of
production, from buying seedlings to marketing of their
produce.
Rural banks and cooperative banks are differentiated from each
other by ownership. While rural banks are privately owned
and managed, cooperative banks are organized/owned by
cooperatives or federation of cooperatives.
Notas do Editor
With the funds raised through deposits and other funding sources, depository institutions make direct loans to various entities
And also invest in securities.
In this chapter, we look at depository institutions – the nature of their liabilities where they invest their funds and how they are regulated.
Traditionally thrift banks were not permitted to accept deposits transferable by checks (negotiable) through checking accounts.
Instead, they obtained funds primarily by tapping the savings of households. Since the early 1980’s, however, thrifts offer negotiable
deposits entirely equivalent to ckecking accounts, although they bear a different name (NOW accounts shares drafts).
On top of regular banking services offered by universal, commercial, thrift and rural banks, there are savings and loans association which are mainly based in communities and among retirees in the armed forces and the police organization and other employees of the government of the Philippines. Prominent of these small savings services is the Armed Forces of the Philippines Savings and Loans Association, Inc. or AFSLAI which is exclusive to active servicemen and retirees of the armed forces in the Philippines.
Powers of a universal bank
A universal bank has the same powers as a commercial bank with the following additional powers: the powers of an investment house as provided in existing laws and the power to invest in non-allied enterprises.
Powers of a commercial bank
In addition to having the powers of a thrift bank, a commercial bank has the power to accept drafts and issue letters of credit; discount and negotiate promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and other evidences of debt; accept or create demand deposits; receive other types of deposits and deposit substitutes; buy and sell foreign exchange and gold or silver bullion; acquire marketable bonds and other debt securities; and extend credit.
Powers of a thrift bank
A thrift bank has the power to accept savings and time deposits, act as a correspondent with other financial institutions and as a collection agent for government entities, issue mortgages, engage in real estate transactions and extend credit. In addition, thrift banks may also maintain checking accounts, act as a depository for government entities and local government units and engage in quasi-banking and money market operations subject to the approval of the Bangko Sentral. As per the banker Derrick Low, thrift banks are generally smaller in scale than universal and commercial banks.
Powers of cooperative and rural banks
Rural and cooperative banks are the more popular type of banks in the rural communities. Their role is to promote and expand the rural economy in an orderly and effective manner by providing the people in the rural communities with basic financial services. Rural and cooperative banks help farmers through the stages of production, from buying seedlings to marketing of their produce. Rural banks and cooperative banks are differentiated from each other by ownership. While rural banks are privately owned and managed, cooperative banks are organized/owned by cooperatives or federation of cooperatives.
A rural bank has the power to provide adequate credit facilities to farmers and merchants or to cooperatives of such farmers and merchants and, in general, to the people of the rural communities of which the rural bank operates in.
Before we examine the specific institution, we begin with an overview of the asset/liability problem faced by the manager of a depository institution.
The spread income allows the institutions to meet operating expenses and earn a fair profit on its capital.
In generating spread income a depository institution faces several risks.
Credit risks- refers to the risks that a borrower will default on a loan obligation to the depository institutions or the issuer of a security that the depository institution hold will default on its obligation.
Regulatory Risk – is the risk that the regulators will change the rules and affect the earnings of he institutions.
Funding Risk – Managers of a depository institutions with particular expectations about the future direction of interest rates will seek to benefit from these expectations.
>Those who expect interest rates to rise may pursue a policy to borrow funds for a long time horizon (borrow long) and lend funds for a short time horizon (lend short).
>If the interest rates are expected to drop, managers may elect to borrow short and lend long.
No managers of a depository institutions can accurately forecast interest rates moves so consistently that the institutions can benefit in the long run.
The assets/liability committee of D.I. assumes responsibility for monitoring the interest rate risk exposure.
Besides facing credit risks and interest rate risk , a D.I. must be prepared to satisfy the funds by depositors and to provide loans to customers.
A DI can accommodate withdrawal and loan demand in several ways…..
Credit Risk – the risk that the obligator of a financial instrument held by a financial institutions will fail to fulfill its obligation on the due date or at any time thereafter.
Settlement Risk – the risk when there is a settlement of a trade or obligation, the transfer fails to take place as expected. (Counterparty Risk - the risk that a counterparty in a trade or obligation, the transfer fails to take place as expected. The trade could involve the cash settlement of a contract or the physical delivery of some asset. Liquidity Risk – the context of settlement risk means that the counterparty can eventually meet its obligation but not in the due date)
Market Risk- is the risk to a financial institutions economic well being that results from an adverse movement in the market price of an asset (debt obligations, equitites, commodities, currencies) it owns or the level of volatility of market prices. VALUE AT RISK – measure indorsed by bank regulators to measure a potential FI’s financial position associated with adverse price movement of a given probability over a specified time horizon
Liquidity Risk – two forms a. market liquidity risk – risk that FI is unable to transact in a financial instrument at a price near its market value. B. funding liquidity risk – risk that FI will be unable to obtain funding to obtain cash flow necessary to satisfy its obligation.
Operational Risk – the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal process, people and systems or from external events.
Legal Risk - the risk of loss resulting from failure to comply with laws as well as prudent ethical standards and contractual obligations
The following are the lists of best banks in the Philippines for 2014. The lists include the best commercial banks as to assets, deposits, capital, and loans. It would be great to have savings and investments with them. If you are still a student and you are looking for the best bank to work for, they are also recommended.
the following as the best bank of the Philippines to be banking with this 2014 because of impressive growth. The top 3 are always BDO (Banco de Oro), Metrobank, and BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands). It’s obvious why BDO came up to the rank number 1 because it started the bank operations for the weekends and because every SM mall has BDO. I can say BDO, Metrobank and BPI are also the best banks in terms of investment. Euromoney cited Metrobank as the best bank in the country for the past few years. Let’s see this 2014 if PNB would climb up since it was acquired by Allied Bank in February 2013.
AFPSLAI stands for Armed Forces of the Philippines Savings and Loan Association, Inc.
