The accolade reflects the bank's commitment to maintaining stability, resilience, and trustworthiness, hallmarks of a top-tier financial institution.
"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," shared Metrobank Financial Markets Sector head Antonio Fernand Tansingco, who accepted the award on behalf of the bank.
Tansingco credited the value of malasakit, which translates to deep care and responsibility, as a driving force behind the bank's success. He also highlighted the commitment and hard work of every Metrobanker as key factors in achieving such milestones.
The award is based on The Asian Banker’s transparent scorecard, which evaluates banks on six critical criteria: scalability, balance sheet growth, risk profile, profitability, asset quality, and liquidity.
Metrobank was also recently named Most Recommended Retail Bank in the Philippines by The Asian Banker’s Annual BankQuality™ Consumer Survey. The bank’s Financial Markets Sector likewise earned commendations for its expertise in securities trading and wealth management. —Ed: CSN
