Overview
Asian Banking & Finance magazine is bringing back the Retail Banking Awards on its 14th year to recognise outstanding banks that have introduced groundbreaking products and services that successfully adapted with the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
As digital transactions continue to outstrip branch transactions in Asia, banks across the region have been trying to strike the perfect balance between physical and digital to create the branch for the future. All these they aim to achieve while competing against agile fintechs that try to unbundle their core offerings and erode their revenues.
If your bank has launched a product or service that proves to be an industry game changer against this competitive landscape, nominate now and get recognised amongst the esteemed winners at this year's Retail Banking Awards.
Last year’s awards dinner gathered over 300 senior executives where more than 101 Asian banks from 34 countries were hailed as winners.

WINNERS FEEDBACK
“I would like to thank the Asian Banking and Finance for giving us the award for the Domestic Retail Bank of the Year - Singapore. In criteria for judging, one of the key things that judges look for is how nominees make banking easier and seamless for customers. Based on the technology that we introduced to the marketplace in the past one to one and a half years, we believe that we have made that easy for our customers and this is exactly the core reason why ABF has given us this award, so thank you for the recognition.”
