MANILA, Philippines — Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) remains the preferred bank for affluent Filipinos as it receives the Best Bank for Ultra High-Net-Worth (UHNW) award at the Euromoney Global Private Banking Awards 2024.

The latest recognition keeps Metrobank’s streak of winning major awards intact. The Bank was named Best Bank for the Ultra High-Net-Worth and Best Domestic Private Bank by Asiamoney in 2023.

The Banker recognized Metrobank as the Philippines’ Bank of the Year for 2022 and 2023. Moreover, it was hailed as the Strongest Bank in the Philippines by The Asian Banker for 2021, 2022 and 2023.

“We take this recognition as both an affirmation of our efforts and a challenge to continue elevating the services we provide. 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,” Lizette Perez, head of Metrobank’s Private Wealth Division, said.

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.
