Metrobank is strengthening its financial literacy and digital banking initiatives to help young Filipinos build long-term financial resilience amid an increasingly complex and fast-paced financial environment. The bank said its efforts are focused on promoting financial mindfulness and encouraging better money habits among Gen Z and young professionals.
At the center of the initiative is Moneygurado, a campaign designed to help Filipinos become more intentional in managing their finances. Inspired by the Filipino word “manigurado,” the program aims to promote disciplined saving, wise spending, and informed financial decision-making through relatable stories and practical financial guidance.
Metrobank said financial progress is not only about increasing income but also about making deliberate choices that lead to long-term stability and growth. As part of this effort, the bank continues to expand its digital-first offerings to make financial services more accessible and convenient for younger customers.
Among its products are the Metrobank eSavings account, which allows fully digital onboarding without a maintaining balance requirement, and the Metrobank Online Time Deposit, which offers customers a digital platform for growing their savings. The bank also highlighted its low-cost InstaPay transfers and its Secured Credit Card Program, which is designed to help first-time users establish a credit history and develop responsible spending habits.
For customers looking to begin investing, Metrobank offers the Metro Money Market Fund, a professionally managed unit investment trust fund that allows investments starting at P1,000.
“Today’s generation wants more than just a place to keep their money, they want guidance and tools that help them move forward,” said Digs Dimagiba, Metrobank chief marketing officer. “Whether they are just starting to save or beginning to invest, Metrobank aims to be their trusted financial partner.”
Metrobank said it will continue investing in financial education, digital innovation, and accessible financial tools to help young Filipinos build stronger financial foundations for the future.
