Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has collaborated with global risk intelligence firm TrustDecision to launch a new Fraud Risk Management and Anti Money Laundering platform.
The partnership was officially unveiled on 16 December 2025 at the RCBC Collaboration Hub in Taguig City.
As digital transactions become the norm in the Philippines, the bank aims to bolster its defences against the growing threats of cyber fraud and money laundering.
Lito Villanueva, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovations and Inclusion Officer at RCBC, noted that the platform aligns with the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act of 2024 (AFASA).

“This is why our collaboration with TrustDecision is both timely and critical,” Villanueva stated. “It significantly enhances our ability to assess and manage risk, enabling faster and more inclusive access to credit and financial services”.
The new system represents a strategic shift for the bank, utilising advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Sheila Ricca Dioso, RCBC Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer, explained that the technology offers predictive capabilities.

“This platform moves us beyond reactive measures,” she said, allowing the bank to identify emerging risks before they escalate.
Cheng pledged TrustDecision’s support in constructing a scalable protection infrastructure, emphasising their plan to work with RCBC to reinforce risk-free strategies and upgrade transaction monitoring capabilities.
This initiative follows RCBC’s recent digital expansions, including partnerships with MySSS and Meridian to introduce new financial services for its users.
