Metrobank Savings with AXA Protect Package: Secure your future now vs. unforeseen events

If there's probably one life-changing lesson we've all learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Thus, we must arm ourselves with proactive measures to protect our health, secure our finances, and take control of our lives during uncertain times. We can start right now by saving for a rainy day. Why wait for the raging storm to come? 

For instance, for young people who just landed their first job, the smartest thing to do, as they face an uncertain future, is to open a savings account. Keep track of your spending and put aside a little in the bank every payday. After a few months, you'll be surprised to find how big your little savings has grown. 

The virtue of saving

Leading US scientist Thorton T. Munger said it best: "The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order..." Another way to say this is, you gain a lot more than money when you dedicate a portion of your hard-earned income to a savings account. 

Saving is, indeed, a learning process. It teaches self-discipline—it controls your urge to splurge because money isn't just for spending. Saving teaches goal-setting—you can save up now for that dream gadget, or dream car, or even a trip to the Maldives. You set your goals higher and higher as your savings grow and grow. Most certainly, saving teaches planning and securing a better future for yourself and your loved ones. 

It is like getting your first passport that will allow you to travel and experience the best things life could possibly offer. 

On top of that, as you lie in bed at night, you have peace of mind knowing that you're prepared to face unforeseen events that may come your way.

You can take the first step to securing your future as Metrobank (Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company), one of the country's leading financial institutions, teams up anew with AXA Philippines, one of the largest and fastest-growing insurance companies in the country, to provide the AXA Protect Package that comes with free value-added insurance coverage for new account holders.

To qualify for the AXA Protect Package promo, clients must be 18 to 70 years old and must open a Metrobank savings or checking account from now until Dec. 31, 2022 at their nearest Metrobank branch.

AXA protect package benefits

The AXA Protect Package provides the following benefits for free for one year:

• Personal accident insurance worth P100,000 from AXA Philippines;
• Daily in-hospital benefit up to P5,000 for accident-related confinement (P500 per day, minimum of three consecutive days and maximum of 10 days);
• Free access to emergency services such as roadside/motor, ambulance/hospital, fire and police assistance 24/7 via AXA Rescue Line.

Nobody wants to get into an accident, but, unfortunately, accidents do happen to a lot of people each year. It would be wise to get a personal accident insurance when one is in the pink of health.

"Filipinos are usually struck with unforeseen events that deplete their savings," noted Digs Dimagiba, Metrobank Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "With this offer, we hope to relieve their financial worries during times of emergencies. This ensures that we provide holistic protection for both their financial health and well-being."

For a better financial future

"Together with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, we are aiming to give Filipinos a deposit product that will allow them to be part of the formal financial system and empower them to build a better financial future," Dimagiba added.

This promo by Metrobank offers not just the security of having an emergency fund, but also the assurance that you are covered and assisted when accidents do happen. Dimagiba pointed out, "Now, more than ever, we need to be more careful—to ensure that we are protected both financially and physically. 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."

In times such as these, you can bank on Metrobank's helping hand to cushion the financial blow of unexpected occurrences. Being disabled from an accident will prevent you from going back to work, which means loss of income, which could lead to a financial crisis. The policy will support you as you recover, and shield your family from the burden of hospital expenses.

Download the Emma app by AXA, your new partner in your journey towards financial wellness, and register or create your account. Pre-qualified clients will receive an email notification containing the registration code and directions on how to register and claim the AXA Protect Package.

To make a claim, qualified accounts must have an average daily balance of at least P2,000 from the date of account opening to the time of insurance claim. 

When life throws you a curveball, Metrobank and AXA Protect will be there for you.
