Management

Under the experienced and seasoned leadership of Jose G. Araullo as Chairman of the Board and Alfredo S. Barretto as President, The Real Bank management was steered into new and better directions since 2003.

After helping successfully build up the Punongbayan & Araullo Auditing Firm as co-founder, Chairman Jose G. Araullo accepted the challenge of leading The Real Bank into a unique path that aims to make use of traditional Filipino values education as the foundation for nation-building and an effective tool for progress and development-something that not too many financial institutions pursue.

Equipped with an extensive banking expertise honed from being engaged for top and senior positions in Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company (Metrobank), Philippine Savings Bank (PS Bank), Philippine National Bank (PNB) and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and with consistent leadership in the field of Accountancy, Chairman Araullo carefully planned and courageously pursued building up The Real Bank on its way to be one of the top thrift banks in the country. This character of persistence attained for himself various achievements and recognition as a community and business leader which have culminated in his nomination and inclusion in the San Beda Hall of Fame 2006.

Chairman Araullo took in an equally competent and accomplished Alfredo S. Barretto as President. He, on the other hand, gained his banking skills and expertise from over 30 uninterrupted years in the industry holding management positions in Traders Royal Bank and Philippine Savings Bank that earned for him a reputation of integrity and value. Together, they formed and led a core management team that is a blend of both new as well as homegrown officers distinctly characterized by dedication and perseverance.

This choiced and well-grounded management team work towards one common goal which is to establish a name for The Real Bank in the industry guided by their corporate dictum of “Upholding Filipino Values, Supporting Filipino Dreams.”
