KUALA LUMPUR, UOB Malaysia has bagged three prestigious awards, further strengthening its reputation as one of the top foreign banks operating in the country.
At the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025, UOB Malaysia was named Best Bank for Consumers, recognising its strong retail banking presence. The bank also took home Best Bank and Best Sustainable Bank in Malaysia under the international category at the 29th Annual FinanceAsia Awards 2025 – Southeast Asia.
“These accolades reflect UOB Malaysia’s unwavering commitment to excellence, sustainability, and innovation that puts customers first,” the bank said in a statement.
The Euromoney win highlights UOB Malaysia’s retail banking success, bolstered by its integration of Citigroup’s consumer banking business and continued growth in credit card and wealth management services.
FinanceAsia’s recognition acknowledges the bank’s resilience and strong performance in 2024. UOB Malaysia’s leadership in sustainable finance is underpinned by a robust framework aligned with international standards, alongside deep sectoral expertise and customised solutions that assist businesses in their low-carbon transition journeys.
UOB Malaysia is also the first bank to collaborate with Bursa Malaysia to provide the Centralised Sustainability Intelligence platform to its SME customers. This initiative supports businesses in enhancing sustainability performance and reporting in line with the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF).
Further demonstrating its sustainability commitment, the bank continues to embed green practices into its operations—symbolised by its eco-friendly headquarters, UOB Plaza 1 in Kuala Lumpur.
These awards add to UOB Malaysia’s growing recognition in the industry. Earlier in March, it was named Malaysia’s Best Bank at Global Finance’s 32nd Annual World’s Best Bank Awards – Asia Pacific.
