INVESTIGATION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Announces it is Investigating Claims Against Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. and Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (“Metropolitan Bank” or “the Company”) (NYSE: MCB) for violations of the securities laws.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Metropolitan Bank is the subject of a report published by Vidar Research on March 30, 2023, titled: “Metropolitan Commercial Bank is a mixed bag of problems.” The report states that the Company “is the issuer of choice for prepaid debit cards of crypto firms,” but that it is “bleeding deposits.” According to Vidar Research, the Company’s balance sheet is “shocking comparable to the failed Signature Bank.” The report concludes that the Company “is a failed bank and that it will share the fate” of recent bank failures. Based on this news, shares of Metropolitan Bank fell by more than 27.5% on the same day.
