Several Metrobank branches across Metro Manila will be closed November 16‑18, 2026, in line with Malacañang’s declaration of special non‑working days for the 49th ASEAN Summit, the bank announced.
The temporary branch shutdown affects key Manila and Bay Area locations, disrupting in‑person banking services for customers within the summit’s security perimeter, while underscoring how large‑scale international summits alter regular business operations in the National Capital Region.
Metrobank urged its clients to settle urgent over‑the‑counter transactions before the three‑day break to prevent delays and inconvenience.
While the listed physical branches will be unavailable, the bank assured customers that ATMs, cash‑acceptance machines, and withdrawal‑and‑deposit machines will remain operational. Account checks, fund transfers, payments, and other banking activities can also be done round‑the‑clock using Metrobank Online and the Metrobank Mobile app.
Affected customers may visit nearby Metrobank branches for their in‑person banking needs. The full roster of closed branches, corresponding alternative locations, and updated branch schedules are posted on Metrobank’s official branch‑schedule webpage. The bank also advised the public to follow its Messenger Broadcast Channel for real‑time advisories on schedule changes.
