The Philippine Postal Savings Bank (PPSB), also known as PostalBank, is the state-owned postal savings system in the Philippines. It is the smallest of the Philippines' three state-owned banks, ranking 16th among thrift banks in terms of assets. Established in 1906, the bank was closed in 1976 as a result of competition with privately owned banks, but was reopened in 1994 pursuant to the provisions of Republic Act No. 7354, the charter of the Philippine Postal Corporation.[2] In 2013, the bank rebranded its operations as "Postbank".[3] Despite the legal affiliation, the PPSB is governed separately from PhilPost.
