CBS is more than a product; it is a platform for transformation across 50+ Commonwealth nations, representing a combined market of over 2.5 billion people. As we prepare for our public listing, we invite investors to be part of the most ambitious financial inclusion and cross-border banking project of this decade.
Metrobank plc has emerged stronger and more agile after undergoing a significant transformation over the past three years. Between 2022 and 2025, the bank successfully executed a multi-year recovery and modernization plan:
• Streamlined its UK retail and commercial operations
• Strengthened digital banking infrastructure and compliance framework
• Reduced operational costs by 28%
• Grew its customer base and deposits year-on-year
• Rebuilt market confidence through disciplined governance and targeted innovation
This strategic recovery has not only restored Metrobank plc’s standing as a challenger bank in the UK, but also positioned it to lead global initiatives such as CBS with credibility and long-term vision.
Introducing Metrobank Commonwealth (CBS): A Historic Opportunity
CBS is being launched as a standalone entity, strategically backed by Metrobank plc, with a planned listing on the London Stock Exchange in Q3 2026. The platform will deliver digital-first current accounts, business banking, credit services, and eventually mortgage financing across developing and developed Commonwealth economies.
