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 BankQuality™ Consumer Survey, which gathered feedback from over 12,000 customers across Asia in  January 2024.
