Metrobank forges strategic alliance with Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings

Alliance will broaden their product offerings and services.

The partnership between First Metro Investment Corporation, the investment banking arm of the Metrobank Group, and Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings, Inc will also assist Metrobank in its Asian expansion.

Tokai Tokyo is primarily engaged in the securities business and is among the top 10 publicly-listed securities companies in the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

TTFH and First Metro signed the memorandum of understanding in Japan. The MOU addresses their collaborative and mutual endeavors such as information sharing on economic environment and the corporate sector; the exchange programs for on-the-job trainees; establishment of investment trust products and promoting corporate finance businesses.

First Metro and Tokai Tokyo will develop other possible areas of business cooperation, giving their respective clients access to a broader range of financial products and services.
