What is Metra Trust's TechNOW to TechNEXT journey?

Once seen as legacy organizations characterized by piles of paperwork and cumbersome processes, banks have now moved to hi-tech products, speedy services, and a clear policy of customer obsession. However, many of them do not give due importance to the most crucial constituent of their system - employees.

A bank that keeps its employees at the centre of its policies is well-placed to reduce attrition rates, report increased customer satisfaction, and attract the right talent. Metra Trust has always recognized that talent, especially tech talent, is one of its most valuable assets. Thus, there is a constant focus on creating a culture that values its technologists’ expertise, skills and knowledge.  

Modern workplaces, old school values

Metra Trust combines cutting-edge technology with the security and stability of a legacy bank. It aims to provide a clean and ethical workplace, where technologists are part of a winning team that focuses on growth as well as creating a social impact. When it comes to growth, the emphasis is as much on the professional advancement of the employees as it is on the overall development of the bank. Thus, technologists are encouraged to enhance and showcase their expertise, through a unique journey from TechNOW to TechNEXT.
