Case Study: Country Builders Bank achieves resilient SD‑WAN across 33 branches and Php 840,000 annual savings with Peplink

Country Builders Bank Integrating SD-WAN to Network Across 33 Branches

Country Builders Bank, a rural Philippine bank with 33 branches, faced growing bandwidth and connectivity problems that their legacy network could not handle. Seeking a future‑proof, budget‑friendly SD‑WAN upgrade compatible with their cloud core banking system and requiring per‑site redundancy, they partnered with integrator NextLogic to deploy Peplink solutions—specifically the Balance 580, UBR‑LTE and cloud‑hosted FusionHub.

Peplink’s implementation—Balance 580 at headquarters, UBR‑LTE units at each branch, and FusionHub in the cloud—enabled SD‑WAN with LTE redundancy, SpeedFusion VPN and 256‑bit AES security. The rollout stabilized ATM and over‑the‑counter transactions within a day, improved application performance, availability, branch connectivity and network agility, simplified WAN management, and delivered cost savings of up to Php 840,000 annually.
