ABA Bank, Cambodia’s number one commercial bank, has been named “Best Bank in Cambodia 2022” by Euromoney, one of the world’s most prominent and trustworthy financial magazines.
The award confirms ABA’s position as Cambodia’s leading bank and largest provider of retail banking.
Euromoney applauded ABA for its innovative banking solutions, solid expansion and remarkable growth.
The decision of the judging panel is also supported by ABA’s recent significant development and enhancement of its state-of-the-art digital platform, including:
■ Integration of the Bank’s payment system with KHQR, which allows ABA customers to receive transfers and payments from customers of other local banks within the National Bank of Cambodia’s Bakong payment system free of charge;
■ Launch of card-to-card transfers with Mastercard and UnionPay International;
■ Introduction of a quick loan solution, Salary Loan, on ABA Mobile to provide quick and easy financing for personal use with no collateral requirements;
■ Deployment of the first and only self-issuance of plastic cards, which lets customers order their bank card on ABA Mobile and then have it issued from an ABA Card Machine;
■ Further upgrade of its unique ABA Merchant app, which allows businesses to receive payments and manage their trading activities easily and efficiently;
■ Continuous growth of the ABA 24/7 self-banking network. With ABA 24/7 spots, the bank customers can make cash deposits and withdrawals, deposit cheques and issue local and international bank cards free of charge.
