uab bank again wins Myanmar’s Best Bank Award from Euromoney in 2020
Yangon, 16th July 2020 – uab ဘဏ်အနေဖြင့် was recognised again as Myanmar’s Best Bank at the prestigious Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2020. The award in 2020 is the second year in a row for uab ဘဏ်အနေဖြင့်, who was also crowned as Myanmar’s Best Bank in 2019 by Euromoney.
The Euromoney Awards for Excellence is an annual event which selects the best ranking banks in the region. All the awards have one central theme – they recognise institutions and individuals that demonstrate leadership, innovation, and momentum in the markets in which they excel.
With net profit doubled in 2019 year on year to MMK13.6 billion (approx USD 10 million), together with total income up by 35%, deposits up by 10.8% and the bank’s loan book growing by 12.8%, uab bank’s returns on equity and assets swelled to 18.5% and 1.2% respectively for the period ending 30th September 2019. Meanwhile, the bank’s capital adequacy ratio continued to be one of the highest in the industry, rising to 9%, from 7.9% a year earlier.
In February 2020, uab ဘဏ်အနေဖြင့် celebrated the grand opening of its new Head Office – uab Tower @ Times City which boasts of ultra-modern facilities and an open workspace designed to encourage innovation. Further, demonstrating its commitment to Leading Change, uab ဘဏ်အနေဖြင့် remains the only bank in Myanmar that has published a full Annual Report which reflects its commitment to transparency and strong corporate governance.
ဤဆုအား ဆွတ်ခူးရရှိခြင်း အပေါ် uab bank ၏ MD နှင့် CEO ဖြစ်သူ Mr Christopher Loh မှ အောက်ပါအတိုင်း ပြောကြား ခဲ့ပါသည်။
“It is such an honour to be recognised as Myanmar’s Best Bank again by Euromoney in 2020. Despite the challenges and the competition, we continued to build on the solid foundation that has transformed the way we run our bank and business.
In addition to sustaining a strong balance sheet and financials which are the key factors for this Award, we have invested significantly in fintech and launched the iconic first Celebrity App – SaiSai Pay and uabpay+ which forms the building blocks of our digital ecosystem.
We are very proud to win this Myanmar’s Best Bank award for 2 consecutive years and will continue to take uab bank further with greater innovation, transparency and by leading change and humanising banking here in Myanmar.”
