Top 10 Digital Banking Services in Asia Pacific 2023

Banks have further strengthened their digital banking capabilities by focusing on omni-channel integration, personalising and enhancing the user interface and user experience design as well as increasing automation and digitalisation of back-end processes.

This year's Top 10 Digital Banking Services ranking focuses on the digitalisation efforts of commercial banks, and the results are impressive. Banks have shown exceptional mastery in the industry not only by digitalising their products, services and customer onboarding, but transforming their entire franchise as well. This transformation has been achieved through a focus on organisational agility and simplification, automation and improving the overall consumer experience.

The assessment takes into account eight key dimensions covering organisation, financial performance, the digital customer, digital brand and sales, open banking capabilities, big data capabilities and operations and technology.
