You may find other sources online but in case you don’t, I hope this one will help you. If you’ve open a savings account in Metrobank better you also enroll and activate it’s online banking feature. This can help you save time and effort in may tasks like buying prepaid load, paying bills, viewing account balance, transferring funds and many more.

How to enroll to Metrobank online banking.

1.  Go to metrobank’s official website (https://www.metrobank.com.ph). On the upper right part, you can see Metrobank direct, click on Enroll now. Please see image below.

*Note: The application form will ask for 19-digit atm card number but there are only 16-digit on the card itself. As confirmed by a kind reader(Rosela) in the comment below, Metrobank advised to add 3 0’s at the end. It worked for Rosela so it should work for others too. Thanks to Rosela! 🙂

4. After completing all the information above, follow the instructions, continue until finished. You’ll also receive an OTP(one time password) on the number you registered that you need to activate and initially login to the account.

5. You’ll receive the activation code or link thru email. Once you click the link on email, it will ask you to activate your online account. You will need to OTP to activate it.

Once done, you can now use your Metrobank online account. Enjoy!

        What does intermediate payment mean regarding payment options? I was confused with “intermediate” and “scheduled”. Because when I clicked scheduled, it had choices one time payment and recurring payment (that i understand). But what does intermediate mean?

    Just wondering why ATM PIN is necessary? This is quite alarming. Other banks with online banking services do not require ATM PIN. In fact, they post on their page that if a client is asked to put the ATM PIN, do not continue as this is somewhat a scam.

      Did you provide your ATM pin online? I’m also wondering why they were asking for the PIN I wonder if its safe. I do BPI online banking but they didn’t ask for my ATM PIN online so I’m a bit cautious too.. hmmm

        Hi Teolo, you might need to verify the info provided by your sister to the bank when she initially open her account. you might be entering her right info but if those info were incorrectly entered on the bank’s database, the system wont be able to match it. She needs to call the bank and make sure the info are correct. Have a great day!

    hello, I would just like to ask, what to put in the middle name section when I don’t really have one. I mean, only my first and last name were indicated in all my significant documents and the bank accepted it and issued me a payroll account and a debit card (with my name on it without the MI). i’ve been using my card for 6 months already and I’m frustrated because when I left the middle name part empty, the page kept prompting that I must fill up a middle name. when I put an “n/a” the prompt will suggest that the middle name should only contain alphabet letters, the same if I put a hyphen sign (“-“) symbolizing ‘none’.

    all help will be gladly appreciated.

    thank you very much! 🙂

    For those getting “invalid data” error when enrolling, check first that all details you put are matching what you put on the application such as, name (first, middle, last), date of birth, ATM PIN, card #. If that doesn’t work still, such as my case, I called the customer service hotline (wait time is about 20 minutes in the morning). I was then referred to the branch where I opened my account. They were able to confirm that my name on the system was encoded incorrectly. After that, I tried to enrol again and this time it was a successful attempt. Hope this helps, guys. 🙂

      Apology for not answering all the questions and query here. I am not related in anyway to Metrobank. I just shared my experience when we open an account and enrolled it online. The steps above worked for me and most of the readers. If someone encountered an issue that I cannot answer, I guess the best thing to do is to contact the bank or their the Customer Service. Thank you.

      Hello Jarwin, If you think you entered all the information correct maybe it’s time to double check with Metrobank Customer Service. Sometimes it happen that the form we fill up before was different from the information on our account. You can verify with them. THanks!

    Hi billy! I just wanted to ask you something but let me share to you my scenario first. I have a payroll accnt in metrobank before on my old company that was already enrolled on ebanking so i have access both on web and on the app but i got locked out of it and i also got separated with the company so i dont have access that payroll accnt anymore, now im with a new company but they also have metrobank for our payroll so i got a new payroll accnt in metrobank i tried registering on their website with the new card, new cp number but same email and i got error message that it has already been enrolled to the metrobank direct. Is it possible to create a new online account to access my new payroll account with the same email?

      Not sure if that will work Manny. Metrobank uses OTP and not sure if international numbers can receive the OTP when you logged in to the account. Better to ask Metrobank for this concern. Thanks!

        Look, I am from the USA and I know that answer, Are you from the Philippines. Becareful how and what you say about people and middle names. Yes in the Philippines it is usually your mothers last name but the reason people in the Philippines do not have a middle name is because they are illegitimate meaning their father was not on the birth certificate or not around and just a sperm donor. Please be careful because your ingnorance can hurt people. If you don’t know what illegitimate means then look it up.

      Isah, It depends I guess where you came from. My kids doesn´t have a middle name on their birth cert but usually, if it requires you just use your Mother´s last name if you don´t have the same last name that is. So like for example Maria Ascension (no middle name right?) So her last name is Ascension – taken from her father´s last name. So the middle name should be from your Mom´s last name. So, ask her, if you don´t know. Now, if you´re illegitimate for example – then you ask the bank..call if you need to. Emailing them is like waiting for nothing.

Nakapag-register and nakagawa naman po ako ng account pero when I tried to link my payroll account po sa Mobile Banking. Hindi naman po ina-accept. Laging INVALID DATA or No record. Even sa GCASH ayaw din malink, SAME ERROR. Pero sa Online banking (Metrobank Direct). Naglink naman po sya so it means wala pong problema sa information na nilalagay ko. Pano po kaya sya malink sa MOBILE BANKING po and GCASH? Tried to follow the steps naman po online how to link pero not working pa din po. Sana po may makahelp sakin. Thank you.
