Why choose Metropolitan

See what our customers think of us and what we are proud of.
Leon

I received a payout recently on a very small policy which matured. I simply could not believe the professional and very fast service I received. I was treated as a major customer even though the amount in question must have been miniscule in comparison to other polices. To me, that is evidence of a company that strives for good customer service.

I am the most excited client ever. Thanks for your help. My matter was resolved by Metropolitan and I will continue my relationship with them. A special thanks to Aletta Clarence and her team for such wonderful work. I recommend this company.

I was contacted by a wonderful young woman by the name of Kaylinn Smith, a financial adviser at Metropolitan. She did an absolutely great job selling me one of their products. And the best part is that I never felt obligated or under pressure to sign up with her. She made me feel like I was in charge all the time. I will recommend her anytime, to anyone.

I took out a funeral plan as well as a savings plan and am quite happy with my choice, because after a year I’ve already benefitted from it. Although everything has to be done online, the consultants are very professional and they walk the extra mile to guide and help you through the benefit forms. You will never be left disappointed by Metropolitan in times of trouble.
