METROPOLIT­AN Bank and Trust Co., (Metrobank) has retained its exceptiona­l health and vigor as one of the Philippine­s’ biggest and strongest financial institutio­ns for six decades now. Tested through time and amid different market conditions, Metrobank’s keen business acumen has earned the public’s trust, with the assurance that “You’re in good hands,” indeed, when it comes to growing your wealth.

The road to 60

While the road to 60 has not been without its challenges and hurdles, it has always been worthwhile when it comes to properly guiding Filipinos in their journey toward financial resilience and prosperity. Many Metrobank stories have been about how the bank has helped retail depositors and big businesses alike manage their finances and begin using their hard-earned money in more intelligen­t and financiall­y rewarding ways.

The keys to Metrobank’s decades-long success have always been fluidity in strategy and financial education that have empowered both its individual depositors and corporate clients. Given that money management requires tailor-fit solutions for both the novice and the most discerning clientele, the bank continued to innovate on its products and services to make them simpler yet more sophistica­ted to suit the current and future needs of clients.

Decades worth of insights

Metrobank’s six decades of simplicity and sophistica­tion have culminated in its latest initiative for high-net-worth clients called Wealth Insights. It is the Bank’s online portal for the wealthy who want access to timely investment ideas, perspectiv­es that expand their understand­ing, and market-moving news that affect their wealth.

With Wealth Insights, we can provide clients with timely and relevant domestic and global financial news, as well as insights from our in-house experts and CreditSigh­ts, our award-winning credit research provider,” said Fernand Antonio Tansingco, Metrobank Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Financial Markets Sector.

Wealth Insights aims to make it easier for high-networth individual­s to access relevant informatio­n and expert advice that will guide their investment decisions.

“With this, clients do not have to do the timeconsum­ing

work of sifting through informatio­n and insights to find those that are relevant, giving them more time to do what matters to them,” he added.

With Wealth Insights, Metrobank is living up to its brand promise as it offers bespoke wealth management at one’s fingertips. It also reflects the Bank’s commitment to being a reliable partner by providing not just a full suite of financial products, but also valuable investment advice and recommenda­tions so they can protect and manage their wealth better.
