What are you saving for?
That simple yet meaningful question sparked conversations across Metro Manila as Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company asked Filipinos: “Para saan ang ipon mo?”
In key lifestyle and business hubs around the metro, Metrobank ambassadors took the question to the streets through an eye-catching campaign. The message appeared on bold statement shirts, oversized tote bags, oversized newspapers, and even cookies. Curious passersby were invited to scan a QR code that led them to a survey aimed at uncovering the different reasons why Filipinos save.
The responses poured in. Hundreds of Filipinos shared their aspirations—from planning a long-awaited barkada trip and building an emergency fund, to launching a small online business. Many even took the conversation to their social media accounts, proving one thing: every Filipino has a goal worth saving for.
A Digital Way to Start Saving
Riding on the momentum of this nationwide conversation, Metrobank introduced its eSavings account, making it easier than ever for Filipinos to begin their savings journey.
With Metrobank eSavings, opening a savings account no longer requires long lines or piles of paperwork. New accountholders can now create an account in as fast as 10 minutes through the Metrobank App, offering a convenient and secure digital experience.
Designed for first-time Metrobank deposit clients, the eSavings account allows users to save, manage, and grow their money digitally. With a minimum deposit balance of just PHP2,000, accountholders gain access to a range of features and financial tools that make saving smarter and more rewarding.
Perks of Opening a Metrobank eSavings Account
Opening a Metrobank eSavings account comes with several benefits designed to help Filipinos grow their money more efficiently:
