The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
CIMB Bank Philippines has secured the 41st spot in the World’s Top 100 Digital Banks 2025 ranking by The Asian Banker, the leading provider of strategic intelligence in financial services.
The ranking assessed over 160 digital banks from 42 markets, using a comprehensive scorecard that evaluated customer reach, market coverage, profitability, asset and deposit growth, and funding capabilities.
In the Philippines, CIMB Bank PH ranked highest among all local banks included in the global list.
“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 officer Vijay Manoharan.
He emphasized the bank’s commitment to financial and credit inclusion, highlighting that CIMB has provided access to credit for over 4 million Filipinos while serving a growing customer base of 9 million.
As part of its digital expansion, CIMB Bank PH has introduced CIMB Pay, a QR PH-powered feature that enables fund transfers, merchant payments, and bill payments with zero fees. To encourage adoption, the bank is offering a 10% cashback on transactions made through CIMB Pay until February 28, 2025, for purchases of at least P500.
CIMB Bank PH aims to surpass the 10 million customer mark this year as it continues to lead the digital banking revolution in the Philippines.
