CIMB Bank Philippines secured the 41st spot in the World’s Top 100 Digital Banks 2025 ranking by The Asian Banker, making it the best digital bank in the Philippines.
The list was compiled by The Asian Banker, a leading provider of strategic intelligence and community platforms in the financial services industry.
Encompassing over 160 leading players from 42 markets, The Asian Banker used a scorecard to identify the Global Top 100 Digital Banks, evaluating the capabilities of each bank across five key dimensions: customers, market/product coverage, profitability, asset and deposit growth, and funding.
According to The Asian Banker, the solid business performance, product offerings, customer growth and solid financial performance contributed to CIMB being selected as the Best Digital Bank in the PH while also making into the top 50 best digital banks globally.
CIMB Bank PH achieved a profit before tax rate in 2024 that was 45 times higher than in 2023, as transactions grew over 30 percent despite a challenging competitive landscape environment across all banks.
Deposit transactions grew by over 35 percent from 2024, demonstrating the trust and confidence of our customers in keeping and growing their funds with CIMB.
Now at over 9 million customers strong, not only did the bank’s customer base reach new record levels, but loan customers also grew to close to 4 million.
“In just six short years and as the pioneer in changing how banking is brought to the everyday Filipino consumer, we are humbled to once again be hailed as one of the world’s best banks,” said CIMB Bank PH chief executive Vijay Manoharan.
“We are proud to be among the world’s best and represent the Philippines in the global map, and this accolade is a testament to how we continue to serve and make a difference in people’s lives, bringing real solutions to their daily financial needs,” said Manoharan.
“We have not only changed the way how banking is delivered in the Philippines, we have also opened doors for other banks to follow our business model and bring digitization of financial services to all Filipinos, following the lead of CIMB in the Philippines,” he said.
