About the employer

Metrobank, formally Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company, is one of the Philippines’ largest universal banks. Founded in 1962, it provides retail and commercial banking, corporate finance, investment banking, treasury, wealth management, payment, and digital banking services to individuals and organizations. The bank serves customers through branches, automated channels, digital platforms, and business units across the country. Metrobank is part of the Metrobank Group, which has interests in financial services and related businesses. As a major Philippine employer, it offers roles in technology, operations, risk, finance, customer service, and banking products. Its technology teams support modernization, cybersecurity, data management, and digital customer experiences while maintaining the reliability and regulatory standards expected of a large financial institution.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers technology and banking opportunities mainly in Metro Manila, particularly Makati, Taguig, and Quezon City, with growing hubs in Cebu and Davao. English is widely used in business, and Filipino workplace culture generally values politeness, teamwork, relationships, and respect for hierarchy. Manila provides the broadest career market but has traffic, higher housing costs, and a fast-paced lifestyle. Cebu offers a more relaxed setting with strong IT and outsourcing industries, while provincial islands provide beaches and lower living costs but fewer specialized jobs. Foreign employees usually need employer sponsorship, an appropriate work visa or permit, and local registration; requirements vary by nationality and contract. Professionals should confirm immigration rules with the Bureau of Immigration or an accredited adviser. Relocation planning should cover housing, healthcare, transport, taxes, weather, and possible typhoon disruptions.
