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 a team of finance experts has scrutinized it. 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.
Tansingco adds that our value of “malasakit,” which means deep care for one’s responsibilities and even going beyond what is expected, coupled with the commitment and hard work of every Metrobanker, makes achievements such as this possible.
The Asian Banker’s Strongest Banks ranking is based on a detailed and transparent scorecard that ranks banks and financial holding companies on six criteria of balance sheet performance: 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 when banks’ annual financial results become available.
The Asian Banker also recently named Metrobank the Most Recommended Retail Bank in the Philippines, based on the publication’s Annual BankQuality™ Consumer Survey results, 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.
