Following the formalization of the strategic partnership between ATRAM Group (ATRAM) and  Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) last May 8, 2025, Deanno J. Basas was appointed as  President of UnionBank Investment Management and Trust Corporation (UBIMTC) by the UBIMTC  Board of Directors.

Prior to this appointment, Basas held the position of President at ATC until 2022 and subsequently  led ATRAM Digital as CEO, where he spearheaded the company's digital transformation. He brings  over 30 years of local and international experience in treasury trading and asset management to  his new role. 

The appointment follows the approval of the following transactions by the Monetary Board of  the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in April 2025:
