How To Activate Atm Card Metrobank Credit
The EON was useful in my travels, but I soon discovered better alternatives. Shortly after I got the EON, I opened a savings account with Metrobank, which came with a regular ATM card.

EON’s downside is its myriad insidious; they even charge you for withdrawing locally from their own ATM (greedy much, UnionBank?). If you have the means to maintain the required minimum balance, I definitely recommend a regular debit card.
