Activities
Digital Transformation and Technological Innovation

While enhancing our digital capabilities geared to provide convenience to customers, we also automated operational processes to further strengthen our regulatory reporting and branch reporting efficiently.

Through process automation, we eliminated six manual registers from across our branch network, freeing time for our staff to engage in more value adding and customer-centric services.

Enhance Customer-centricity

We continued on our journey of relentlessly adding value to our customers, mainly through digitalisation and convenient banking, offering market-competitive products and services, and speedy issue resolution through our dedicated contact centre

Strong Brand Presence

We maintained our premier brand presence in the industry by disseminating authentic communications through a variety of channels, accurate and timely regulatory reporting, engagement with industry specific events and maintaining our visibility by being represented at governmental, regulatory, and business forums.

Commitment to Sustainability and ESG

We implemented several initiatives and actively participated in activities that promoted sustainability, marking our contribution to the UN SDGs. We took a keen interest in contributing to conserving the environment and carried out initiatives that also made communities aware of the importance of caring for our planet.

Employee Well-being and Work-Life Balance

We encouraged our employees to actively engage in activities that promote their well-being, prioritised women’s empowerment, and provided opportunities to upgrade their skills, knowledge, and career progression.
