Metrobank gives free AXA Protect Package to new accounts
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light unprecedented challenges that disrupted normality for many Filipinos. It has forced a change in perspective, lifestyles, and money habits. More evidently, it created a sense of urgency for people to equip themselves with proactive measures to secure their finances, protect their health, and to be in control of their lives during uncertain times.
A good way to start practicing prudence is by keeping your savings in check. Setting aside funds for future needs is a basic financial habit not just during a crisis. However, the impact of the pandemic in people’s livelihood made the importance of saving more apparent.
Unfortunately, not all people were able to set aside enough savings prior the government-imposed lockdowns. Now, as everyone eases into the new normal,, many are responsibly taking matters into their own hands by thinking of ways on how to ensure a steady stream of income to support the needs of their family.
To enable Filipinos to become financially secure while having the added protection for their well-being, Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., in partnership with AXA Philippines, one of the country's leading insurance companies, gives out free AXA Protect Package to eligible clients who will open a Metrobank savings or checking account.
“Opening a bank account is a necessity, especially in the time of COVID-19 when digital banking is now the new normal for your financial activities,” said Metrobank Chief Marketing Officer Digs Dimagiba. “Getting the added bonus of protection provides a meaningful combination of security and peace of mind,” he continued.
As the first ever multifactorial protection package benefit, the Metrobank savings or checking account with AXA Protect Package offers not just the security of having an emergency fund but also the assurance that you are covered and assisted when accidents happen.
Clients who will open an account from July 27 to December 29, 2020 will get a free Personal Accident Insurance Coverage of P100,000.00, up to 10 days free daily in-hospital benefit of P500 due to accident, and free access to emergency services via the Emma by AXA app.
“Now more than ever, we need to be more careful—to ensure that we are protected both financially and physically,” Dimagiba added. “In these uncertain times, Metrobank hopes to incentivize those who are trying to be more financially responsible, by giving them a little bit more security in their daily lives,” he concluded.
AXA is a joint venture partnership between the Metrobank Group and the Paris-based AXA Group.
