Trust is paramount to us, and being recognized as the preferred bank for affluent families in the Philippines underscores Metrobank’s dedication to keeping our valued clients in good hands,” said Metrobank private wealth division head Lizette Perez.

Euromoney acknowledged Metrobank’s leadership in the UHNW segment in 2023, noting the impressive quality of services provided by the bank and its highly capable team.
