METROPOLITAN Bank and 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,” Metrobank Financial Markets Sector Head Antonio Fernand Tansingco said.
Receiving the award on behalf of the bank, he added that their 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.
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.
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.
