The Future of Wealth Includes Wellness: Security Bank Partners with Noage

Makati City, Philippines, -- True wealth isn't measured only by what you accumulate, but by having the health to enjoy what you've built.

Security Bank is expanding how it serves affluent clients through a partnership with Noage International, giving them privileged access to preventive healthcare and wellness services in Japan.

Eligible Security Bank Wealth clients, including World Mastercard and Platinum Mastercard cardholders, will enjoy exclusive benefits on select Noage International medical and wellness programs, including comprehensive health screenings, advanced diagnostics, and concierge-supported healthcare experiences at leading Japanese medical institutions.

"The most valuable asset is not always in your portfolio. It’s your health," said Victor Lee, President and CEO of Security Bank. " We want to help our clients not only build and protect their wealth but enjoy the life they have worked hard to create. Our partnership with Noage International brings that thinking beyond traditional banking.”

Established through a joint venture between Resorttrust and Mitsubishi Corporation, Noage International connects international clients to Japan's healthcare ecosystem through curated medical and wellness programs. 

“True peace of mind arises when both financial legacy and your personal health are fully safeguarded," said Mr. Tetsuro Yoshihara, President of Noage International. "Japan has long stood at the forefront of global preventative medicine and longevity science. Through our partnership with Security Bank, we are honored to grant their most distinguished clients privileged access to Japan’s pinnacle healthcare ecosystem. By seamlessly integrating ultra-precise early cancer detection, bespoke longevity therapies, and white-glove Japanese hospitality, our mission is to empower individuals to enjoy a vibrant, healthy, and exceptionally long life.” 

Security Bank introduced the partnership at an exclusive Wealth event at the Manila Polo Club attended by more than 70 clients. Guests heard from Mr. Yoshihara, President of Noage International, and Dr. Taguchi, former physician to the Japanese Imperial Household and current Chairman of Midtown Clinic Medical Corporation, on Japan's approach to preventive healthcare and longevity medicine. They also experienced Noage's biological age assessment technology, which compares physical and chronological age, alongside discussions on legacy planning and wealth transfer. The pairing was deliberate: planning for the future is no longer only about what you leave behind. It’s also about living well enough to enjoy what you’ve built.

InLife Benefits Partners with PhilHealth to Bring YAKAP Preventive Care Program to the Private Sector Workforce

InLife Benefits and PhilHealth recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to bring the PhilHealth YAKAP Program closer to employees in the private sector, marking the first partnership of its kind between PhilHealth and a private healthcare benefits provider. The collaboration aims to raise awareness of preventive healthcare services, encourage early disease screening, and help more Filipinos maximize the health benefits available to them.

The partnership brings together PhilHealth's preventive healthcare initiative and InLife Benefits' network of corporate clients, creating a bridge that connects employees with accessible screening and wellness services before illnesses become severe. This collaboration addresses a persistent challenge for PhilHealth regarding member awareness. Although a significant portion of the workforce holds membership, familiarity with the preventive services under the YAKAP Program remains low.

"There are a lot of diseases that could be prevented if only they were screened earlier. Now we see our national health insurance moving towards preventive health,” said Isabel Umali, MD, Deputy Medical Director, InLife Benefits. “That's the gap that we want to close by giving people the chance to take charge of their health before catastrophic diseases happen."

To bridge this gap effectively, PhilHealth strategically chose to collaborate with an organization capable of scaling the program's reach. "The gap is usually there's a problem with membership awareness in the YAKAP program. Through this initiative, we can reach out to those private companies, since we discovered that InLife has a vast connection and great IT infrastructure," said Bernadette C. Lico, MD, Vice President, Philhealth Regional Office, NCR and Rizal. 

The YAKAP Program is supported by a wide network of healthcare providers, with more than 4,000 YAKAP clinics nationwide, including over 750 accredited facilities in Metro Manila, making preventive services readily available once members are connected to the program. Beyond expanding access, both organizations see the partnership as a model for greater collaboration between government and private healthcare institutions.

Future plans involve extending the initiative beyond employees to encompass their dependents, with the long-term vision of maximizing the number of Filipinos benefiting from preventive healthcare. As the partnership moves forward, InLife Benefits and PhilHealth NCR aim to engage more employers and expand participation across industries, demonstrating how public-private collaboration can strengthen employee wellness and improve utilization of PhilHealth services.
