Metrobank continues to power safe and fast mobile banking transactions 

with new AppKey feature

Say goodbye to waiting for one-time passwords (OTPs) and hello to a faster, more secure way to complete all your essential banking transactions with the AppKey feature on the Metrobank App! 

AppKey is a two-factor authentication system that utilizes your biometrics and device ID to provide an unparalleled level of security and convenience.

With this new feature, your transactions via the Metrobank App are made even more simple and secure. One-time passwords (OTPs) will now be replaced with fingerprint or facial recognition technology, enabling you to validate your transactions faster. Since your biometrics are unique and cannot be easily replicated, the Metrobank AppKey further lessens the risk of unauthorized transactions in your account. 

The AppKey doesn’t stop at biometrics. This new feature takes security a step further, as now, transactions on your mobile app will only go through when you approve it on the smartphone you enrolled as a primary device. This means that even if unscrupulous people gain access to your app login details, they cannot perform transactions without your biometrics and confirmation via your primary smartphone or tablet. This gives you additional security to protect your hard-earned money.

Activating the AppKey feature on your Metrobank App is easy. Here’s a quick guide:

1. After logging in, tap “Enhance security with AppKey”.

2. Enter your passcode followed by the SMS OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

3. Tap “Yes, enable biometrics” and authenticate via Face ID or fingerprint scan. 


And you’re done! After 24 hours, AppKey will be activated on your device and you can start enjoying added security and complete transactions faster.  

Activate AppKey today and unlock a world of smart, simple, and secure banking with the Metrobank App! Metrobank accountholders and customers can download the Metrobank App for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
