METROPOLITAN Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) bagged the 'Best Bank in the Philippines' award at the recently held Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2022, solidifying its strong position and reliability as the country's second largest bank.

'A changing of the guard this year as Metrobank pushes aside other local banks to post the best numbers in a mercurial year. Metrobank's story was about more than prudence. The bank is out there supporting a reviving economy, recording a growth in its commercial lending business. It also took advantage of Covid 19 pandemic to push digital channels and launch a host of new services to address its customers' needs. Pretty much the entire street rates Metrobank a buy right now in recognition of a growing bank with strong capital and asset quality,' said Euromoney
