Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) continues to post a strong momentum,
bringing home the Strongest Bank in the Philippines title for the fourth straight year at
the recently held The Asian Banker Global 2024 Finance Awards.
“We are truly proud of this award from The Asian Banker because it has undergone an
objective scrutiny by a team of finance experts. This award recognizes what a Bank
should be: strong, stable, and resilient— focused first and foremost on upholding the
trust of our customers,” says Metrobank Financial Markets Sector Head Antonio
Fernand Tansingco who received the award on behalf of the Bank.
Our value of “malasakit,” which means deep care for one’s responsibilities and even
going beyond what is expected, coupled with commitment and hard work of every
Metrobanker, make achievements such as this possible, adds Tansingco.
The Strongest Banks ranking of The Asian Banker is based on a detailed and
transparent scorecard that ranks banks and financial holding companies on six criteria
of balance sheet performance; namely the ability to scale, balance sheet growth, risk
profile, profitability, asset quality and liquidity, covered by 14 specific factors. The
evaluation is conducted between March and August each year when banks’ annual
financial results become available.
The Asian Banker also recently named Metrobank as the Most Recommended Retail
Bank in the Philippines, based on the results of the publication’s Annual BankQualityTM
Consumer Survey, which gathered feedback from over 12,000 customers across Asia in
January 2024.
The Bank’s Financial Markets Sector likewise garnered awards from the Bureau of the
Treasury, Fund Managers’ Association of the Philippines, and regional finance
publications, namely, Alpha Southeast Asia and The Asse for its expertise in securities
trading and investment and wealth management.
