Reach Your Big Financial Goals with Metrobank: The Power of Intentional Saving and Its Triple Bonus

 Got a big financial goal this year? Metrobank shares the power of intentional saving, and the triple bonus that comes with it

Let's be honest, saving up money can often feel overwhelming, with your day-to-day spending piling up, worries about unplanned expenses from emergencies, and overall need for the right savings habit. 

And you're not alone in this. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’s (BSP) data shows that saving rates are dipping while household spend rises. The percentage of households with savings declined to 25.6% in the last quarter of 2024, from 29% recorded in the third quarter of the same year. Meanwhile, household spending for the following quarter has been increasing, particularly for expenses on food, clothing, or even restaurants. It's a common struggle: life throws curveballs, expenses increase, and suddenly, your savings goals feel further away than ever.

In a recent event, Metrobank discussed the challenges that may come with saving money and how you can have a fighting chance to turn this around – by adopting an intentional saving behavior, and taking advantage of meaningful offers like its recently launched Triple Bonus promo. 

According to the bank, one simple but effective way to start saving money intentionally is through goal-based saving which entails having separate accounts for specific financial goals – a modern take on the classic envelope method. By having dedicated savings accounts for your goals, you create a clear boundary between what’s meant for spending on your essentials and what’s meant for saving for your dreams.

The bank also highlighted that saving shouldn’t feel like a sacrifice. While it’s important to save money to prepare for emergencies or retirement, Metrobank encourages savers like you to Save Without Missing Out or to #SWOMO. This entails setting aside money to fund your dreams, whether that’s a solo backpacking trip to Japan, a dream destination wedding, or buying a comfortable home. This helps strike a balance between striving to be financially secure and living the life you’ve aways dreamed of. 

Saving for these goals is made even more rewarding with Metrobank’s Triple Bonus Promo, that offers meaningful perks to help you reach your financial goals. After all, building your savings is the best gift you can give to your future self. When you open your first Metrobank savings or checking account from now until April 30, 2025, you get a triple bonus that will help set you up on your savings journey:

1. PHP 1,500 Cash Gift: Consider this a head start, a boost to your savings, or a well-deserved reward for taking that first step in building your goals fund. Enjoy a cash gift equivalent to a 3% return on your savings, when you deposit and maintain PHP 50,000 in your account, for 6 consecutive months. 

2. Rebates on InstaPay Fees for a year: Make your everyday transactions lighter on your wallet with up to 10 waived InstaPay fees per month, for 12 months. Just maintain at least PHP50,000 in your account monthly for a year to enjoy this exclusive benefit. This will definitely put more money back into your pocket – because every peso counts, especially for your everyday expenses.

Influencers and friends from the media pose with their creative vision-to-action boards-- as they commit to saving more intentionally for their life goals with the help of Metrobank. 

 

3. AXA Personal Accident Insurance: Life happens, and unexpected expenses can derail your plans and deplete your savings. With this insurance coverage, you can focus on your goals, knowing that you have a safety net for unexpected events in your life. Keep at least PHP50,000 in your account every month for a year to enjoy this added protection. 

With these rewards, Metrobank aims to encourage more people to be able to save money, and ultimately, start building the financial habits that will allow you to reach your life goals. To enjoy these offers, head to your nearest Metrobank branch and open your first Metrobank account.

This 2025, gift yourself a triple bonus as you save up for your life goals.

Metrobank GIFT: Your Head Start to a Stronger Financial Future

 The holiday season is indeed the most wonderful time of the year for many Filipinos. The -ber months usher in heartwarming reunions with loved ones, fun gift-giving, and of course, the anticipated Christmas bonus.

For Metrobank, one should plan for the holidays even before the –ber months start. The holiday season is a time of joy, but it can also be financially stressful for many Filipinos. Overspending during the -ber months often leads to a January financial hangover – which is why as early as August this year, Metrobank introduced a new financial guide called G.I.F.T. so you can enjoy the festivities without the stress of financial worries and get ahead of your goals in the coming year. G.I.F.T stands for: 

 

● Get guided with goals: Starting the holiday season early means you have more time to strategically plan your finances even before the new year starts. Set or revisit your short-term goals like going on a holiday trip, and long-term goals such as setting aside emergency funds or purchasing your dream home. With this, it’s easier to plan how you can achieve them in the next year.   

 

● Invest a portion of your bonus: As you receive your bonus during the holidays, commit to reserving a portion for investments that grow in value. Consult a trusted financial advisor on appropriate investments for your life stage. Making meaningful investments can help grow your money instead of spending it all now.  

 

● Follow a budget: The holiday season is a great time to treat yourself and your loved ones with meaningful gifts. As you find the perfect present for those who are close to your heart, it is important that you still follow a budget plan. Discipline in tracking your income and essential and non-essential expenses is key.  

 

● Take advantage of deals: Avoid the tendency of overspending by maximizing opportunities to save – including keeping an eye out for value-based offers. Smart shoppers are always aware of deals and discounts that will give them the best value for their money.  

 

To help Filipinos easily remember these four tips, Metrobank turned this into The GIFT Song, a catchy holiday carol that’s fit for the season. Watch and listen to the GIFT Song music video on the Metrobank Facebook and YouTube pages. You can also catch it on various radio stations. 

 

 “Financial empowerment has always been a part of Metrobank’s advocacy. G.I.F.T. is more than a holiday song or message—it’s a call to action for Filipinos to take charge of their financial future. Let’s shift from surviving the holidays, to thriving financially, not just this season but all year long. Let's create our G.I.F.T. resolutions today and inspire others to do the same,” said Digs Dimagiba, Metrobank Chief Marketing Officer.   

 

With Metrobank’s G.I.F.T, you can definitely make better financial decisions this holiday season and step into the new year with confidence. Learn more about the G.I.F.T. Resolutions here: https://earnest.metrobank.com.ph/gift-of-financial-wellness/
