Aside from BDO joint savings account we have, I and my lovely wife decided to open joint savings account in Metrobank couple days ago. As I shared here, our next goal, for now, is to build a “baby fund” after completing our emergency fund.

We want things to be organized and we thought that having separate joint savings account for our baby fund would be best.
Here are some tips and information on how to open joint savings account in Metrobank.

Steps in opening joint savings account in Metrobank
1. Prepare all the requirements and visit the nearest Metro branch in your area.
2. Go to the new account section and advise that you want to open a Metrobank joint savings account. The teller will check the requirements and will provide the application form for you to fill up.
3. Fill-up the application. Make sure all information are correct. You will also be asked what type of joint savings account you’re going to open. You have the option to choose from “OR or AND” type of joint savings account.
4. Submit the application form. We also advised the teller to have it open or activated for Metrobank online banking. The teller will provide all the details and will inform you when you can claim the ATM card.
In our case, it took few hours. The ATM was released on that day.
That’s it! We now have an ATM joint savings account in Metrobank. We’re now on our way working with our “baby fund goal“.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My wife and I are moving to Gen Trias in about two weeks from Egypt.
My wife is Filipino and I am from the UK.
We need to open an account as soon as we get there.
Please tell us what we need.
My wife only has her passport as ID as she has been out of the country for so long.
Will should have a rental receipt for where we will be living and I will have 2 x photo ID; Passport and UK drivers ;licence.
Her passport will do Jez, if it’s a personal account. If you’re going to open a joint account, there might be other requirements. Best thing to do is to visit the nearest bank of your choice. Thanks!
Do not open a Metrobank joint account if both account holders of the joint account want to have access to online banking. Metrobank web app and mobile app cannot register more than one user linked to the same account number. Quite dumb, if you ask me, but that’s Metrobank.
Did metrobank give you two ATM cards with the same account number?
Do you have a list of valid IDs accepted by Metrobank?
