Overview

 
RETAIL BANKING AWARDS 2017
 
The Asian Banking and Finance Retail Banking Awards is back on its 12th year as it aims to yet again recognise banks that stand out with groundbreaking products and services despite the various challenges the banking sector is facing.

The industry’s push towards digitalisation has greatly affected retail banks across the region, with many banks having to shut down physical branches in light of customers’ changing behaviours and preferences. The rise of fintechs has also raised the question of whether banks must compete or collaborate with these disruptors. On top of all these, banks also have regulatory and compliance issues that need to be constantly monitored.

If your bank launched a product or service that proves to be an industry game changer amidst all the market challenges, nominate now and be among the esteemed winners at this year's Retail Banking Awards.

This year, we are launching a new category for technology banking vendors, the Technology Case Study of the Year award which is for outstanding vendors in the banking industry. Click here to know how your company can be involved. 
 
The Retail Banking Awards brought together more than 200 senior bankers last year at the awarding ceremonies where 65 Asian banks from 30 countries were hailed as winners.
