CIMB Bank Philippines has been recognized as Best Digital Bank Philippines 2026 at the Global Banking & Finance Review Awards, further cementing its standing as the most awarded digital-only commercial bank in the country.
Global Banking & Finance Review is a UK-based financial intelligence and recognition platform established in 2010, providing authoritative news, in-depth analysis, and insights across banking, capital markets, investment, and financial technology.
“CIMB Bank Philippines has demonstrated remarkable leadership and innovation in the digital banking space. Winning the Best Digital Bank Philippines 2026 award reflects the Bank’s unwavering commitment to delivering secure, accessible, and customer-focused digital financial solutions,” said Barnali Pal Sinha, Editor of the Global Banking & Finance Review, in the official announcement article.
Since 2018, CIMB Bank PH has been a trailblazer that redefined banking in the country. At a time when Filipinos were used to long waits at branches, tedious paperwork, and minimal returns for their patronage, CIMB Bank PH set out to improve on their experience.
CIMB Bank PH pioneered products and services that set the stage for its competitors to follow. Opening a bank account with no maintaining balance requirement can now be done in as little as 10 minutes, and with only one valid ID, all within the CIMB Bank PH mobile app. Customers also enjoyed unprecedented interest rates on their deposits that are higher than traditional banks, helping them grow their money easier. CIMB Bank PH also made lending more accessible, allowing formerly unbanked customers to easily apply for a formal loan account for the very first time.
CIMB Bank PH is the first to implement embedded banking in the Philippines, seamlessly integrating banking services into everyday apps for greater convenience and inclusion. At the same time, the Bank continues to strengthen its security measures, ensuring that every transaction is safe and reliable.
“Our mission is to remain a stable, trusted, and future-ready bank that will continue empowering our customers today and for many years to come. We thank our over 10 million customers for their trust, which motivates us to keep innovating and strengthening our foundation for the future,” said Vijay Manoharan, CEO of CIMB Bank PH.
The recognition further solidifies CIMB Bank PH’s position as a key player in the country’s evolving banking landscape and reinforces its longstanding commitment to providing secure, accessible, and innovative financial solutions to Filipinos.
