The Metro Gaisano GroupWealthBank traces its origin in the year 1967 when Danao City Development Bank was granted a thrift bank license and an authority to operate by then Central Bank of the Philippines. This single-branch thrift bank, principally located in Danao City, had equity participation by the Development Bank of the Philippines and the Land Bank of the Philippines. In 2001 , VICSAL Development Corporation, acquired Danao City Development Bank, signaling the start of what is now known as Wealth Development Bank. Branch expansion soon started in 2002 starting in the Visayas and Mindanao region. Currently, Wealthbank has 24 strategic branches located throughout the country with new branches poised to open in current and succeeding years. In 201 6, it became a subsidiary of Woori Bank, the oldest and the second largest bank of South Korea, after it acquired 51% stake in Wealthbank.
