July 2022
1. Case Background
BDO Unibank Inc. is a company based in Makati, Philippines and established in 1976.
The company has over 1,400 branches and offices, together with almost 4,400 ATMs distributed
all over the country. It also has subsidiaries in Asia, North America, and Europe. BDO is
recognized as the Top Graduate Employer in the Banking and Financial Services sector. With
BDO Unibank Inc. Having revenues of 3,188.9 billion on December 31 st for 2019 and 3,374.9
billion pesos for December 31st of 2020. (SWOT and PESTLE, 2022)
BDO Unibank has been one of the leading commercial banks in the country (GlobalData,
2022) due to its liquidity, capital, and interest margin. However, even leading banks such as
BDO face adversities, and in early 2022, the BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) noted that 2
billion pesos will be lost due to swindles and cyberbanking crimes. These statements by the BSP
were based on early 2022 and even on the ongoing status of the banking industry as of today
wherein different transactions like internet and mobile banking were erroneous and at some
fraudulent. This can be a great threat to BDO Unibank, as one of its customer complaints were
pertaining to their mobile application and internet banking as there were different issues rising
and no further statement from the company is yet released on the improvement of their
application and internet banking experience.

C. Internal Environment
C.1 Strengths
C.1.1. Marketing
Customer Loyalty
BDO has historically made use of its strength by creating customer loyalty. A corporation
may encourage and keep customers by providing them with benefits, rewards, and
incentives in order to promote trust (Nichole Gunn, 2020). You can be sure that your
business will last longer if you express gratitude to your regular customers since you will
have a strong bond with them.
C.1.2. Production/Operations
Longer Working Hours
On average, most banks operate from Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
amidst the pandemic. However, BDO provides longer banking hours from Monday to
Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. This allows the bank to develop a solid customer
base. With this, the business will be able to better serve its clients and satisfy their
expectations with regard to their problems and bank-related concerns. As a result, these
additional hours strengthen relationships with clients, address issues, and respond to
inquiries.
C.1.3. Finance
Top performing bank
Even though BDO Unibank ADR is facing downward pressure on profitability, compared
to competitors it is still racking in higher profit margins. The company has been
consistent in its performance as the industry leader regarding consolidated assets,
capital, client loans, deposits, and trust assets.
Based on the difference between the net income in 2021 and 2020, this is
demonstrated. Prior to 2021, P 28.2 billion was reported, a fifty-one percent (51)
increase, or P 42.8 billion, was made. This was brought about by the ongoing
development and growth of enterprises, the stabilization of asset quality, and the
prioritizing of digital activities.
C.2 Weaknesses
C.2.1. Marketing
Limited presence
Universal Philippine Banks like BDO should expand their clientele to gain greater client
confidence. Their branch will be relied upon by more individuals the more members
they have. Even while BDO is quite well-liked in the Philippines' urban areas, they are
still largely absent from rural and international locations, giving other universal banks,
like Citibank, a significant competitive edge.
C.2.2. Production/Operations
Some branches pose inconsistencies with regarding customer services.
Word-of-mouth, recommendations, and feedback are the foundation of many
customers' credibility; therefore, inconsistencies with regard to customer services are a
huge disadvantage. 94 percent of customers will refer to a business with a service they
deem "very good," according to Dorsey, (2020); for this reason, inconsistent customer
services are a huge disadvantage.
C.2.3. Finance
Ease of pandemic restrictions led to loan growth
As quarantine standards and limits loosened, loan growth surged to 6 percent, which is
1 percent ahead of the industry, even though the bank's financial situation continued to
improve in the latter half of 2021.

Analysis:
BDO had a score of 3.09 on the IFE Matrix, above the average and indicating a strong internal
position for the business. The table demonstrates that their excellent internal structure is
mostly attributed to customer loyalty and longer working hours. The business must also address
some of its main weaknesses, such as its poor online banking services and limited market
penetration. To make BDO more well-known among other people, it is crucial to have a
stronger market presence, particularly in rural regions and on the international scene. To be
consistent with its performance and to reduce the number of complaints about online banking
services, the services must also undergo extensive improvements.
