Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co.

In 2024, Metrobank embraced growth more than ever. Our stories of growth are what connect us across generations, creating shared experiences and achievements with our Metrobankers, our clients, and the communities we are a part of.

And to capture this, early [last] year, we launched the Grow With Metrobank campaign, which elevated our promise of “You’re in Good Hands” to new heights.

This is a testament that in our 62 years, we have not only provided financial services but also enabled our customers and communities to achieve their dreams, making their growth our mission.

Most recently, Metrobank was named as the Strongest Bank in the Philippines by The Asian Banker for the fourth straight year.

This recognition reflects the Bank’s strength that we manage to protect and uphold, and the trust that our customers give us as we deliver our commitment to service their financial needs. We attribute this to our clients whose trust fuels our purpose.

More importantly, we are proud of the unwavering support and strong performance of Metrobankers, from our frontliners to our support teams, that enabled us to finish strong in 2024. Each Metrobanker stays true to the promise of being the good hands of Metrobank.

And our way of giving back to Metrobankers was manifested when we were named as the country’s best bank employer in the 2025 Best Employers Awards of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Statista.

Significantly before the year ended, we achieved another milestone for our Metrobankers with the completion of the 2025-2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Metrobank Employees Union.

For 2025, we look forward to post continued growth for the Bank as we leverage on our decades-long strength and reputation. We know that more than ever, we are equipped to remain as a strong, stable and reliable financial partner for all our stakeholders
