KUALA LUMPUR: Malayan Banking Bhd
(Maybank) has won five awards and topped two polls for 2022 at the Asiamoney Awards 2022.
The bank displayed its strength across the group’s franchise namely its consumer and whole businesses in Malaysia and international footprint by securing the recognition of best international bank in Cambodia.
In a statement, Maybank said it was named the “Most outstanding company in Malaysia – Banking sector” for the second consecutive year under Asiamoney’s annual Asia’s outstanding companies poll.
Close to 1,000 fund managers, buy-side analysts, bankers and research analysts were polled for companies listed across 12 markets in Asia, with 175 companies recognised for their outstanding performance in their respective sectors and markets.
Maybank also received three awards under Asiamoney’s best bank awards in 2022 namely best bank for diversity and inclusion in Malaysia, best investment bank in Malaysia (Maybank Investment Bank or Maybank IB) and best international bank in Cambodia.
The group’s win in diversity and inclusion is driven by its longstanding commitment in this area, measured by its inclusion in Bloomberg’s gender equality index for the last five years and considering that Maybank is the only financial institution in Malaysia to be included in the index.
Meanwhile, Maybank IB’s second annual consecutive win was supported by key achievements in its investment management and investment banking and advisory units.
It ranked top in the Dealogic Malaysia equity capital markets league tables, with a 26% market share, completing four of the top five local equity deals while ranking second in debt markets league tables.
Maybank Cambodia was chosen for the third consecutive year as the best international bank given its impressive growth as one of the leading foreign banks in terms of assets, customer deposits and returns, its unmatched Internet banking capabilities and its digital strengths leveraging the parent group as well as its initiatives to improve the local market, especially in support of local small and medium enterprises.
Group president and CEO of Maybank Datuk Khairussaleh Ramli said the awards and poll findings had re-enforced Maybank’s commitment in providing solutions that support customers’ end-to-end needs while placing emphasis on quality customer service.
“We have pioneered many digital and sustainability offerings to help our customers transition into an increasingly digital and green economy over the last few years and our efforts have shown our leadership position in Malaysia as well as in the region,” he said.
