Metrobank, Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation, and Mastercard have introduced the new Toyota Platinum Card. It is a credit card designed for the everyday Filipino motorist, helping them save on recurring financial responsibilities of owning a car, while earning rewards from their everyday expenses.

The Toyota Platinum Card was developed in response to the rising costs of mobility-related expenses—from fuel, maintenance, toll fees and travel—and the need for practical, value-driven financial solutions.

Ramon del Rosario, Metrobank Head of Consumer Business Sector, reinforces the Bank’s commitment to customer-centric banking with the launch of the Toyota Platinum Card, designed to help customers manage mobility costs while enjoying greater value, security, and financial confidence every day.

"This launch isn't just about introducing a new card—it’s about keeping up with our customers’ evolving needs,” said Ramon del Rosario, Metrobank Consumer Business sector head.

“Owning a car is a big milestone for many Filipinos, but it also comes with daily costs. The Toyota Platinum Card helps lighten that load with savings on fuel and toll fees, plus earning rewards points on everyday spending, so customers can make smarter financial choices,” Rosario added.

Echoing this commitment to customer value beyond the vehicle itself, Toyota Motor Philippines emphasized its broader role in supporting the motoring journey of Filipinos.

Mike Masamayor, First Vice President for Customer First & Value Chain Operations, Marketing Division of Toyota Motor Philippines talks about their customer-first philosophy, looking at the entire ownership experience to better understand the Filipino motorists.

“We believe that our responsibility goes beyond manufacturing vehicles. Toyota aims to continue to improve the overall ownership experience and create value that supports our customers in their everyday lives,” said Mike Masamayor, head of Customer First & Value Chain Operations.

Through this collaboration, cardholders are empowered to live life in full drive—on and off the road—by addressing the everyday realities of vehicle ownership while enhancing lifestyle spending.

Host Carla Lizardo Sulit, together with Jax Reyes, Migs Bustos, and Gaby Dela Merced, excitedly discuss how motorists, like themselves, can save more on the road with Metrobank’s new Toyota Platinum Card.

Cardholders can enjoy:

3 percent rebate on toll fees and gas stations, here and abroad, with up to P15,000 annual rebates on combined gas and toll fees spent
Reward points for every P20 spend
