Baiduri Bank began the new year with two award wins, further cementing its position as the leading conventional bank in Brunei Darussalam.

Baiduri Bank has been recognised as “Best Banking Group for 2021” and “Best in Corporate Governance & CSR” by International Investor, a London-based online publication that provides insights, news and visual informative pieces with topics ranging from world markets, investing opportunities, industry analysis and more.

Speaking on the latest award wins, Ti Eng Hui, CEO of Baiduri Bank said, “This recognition from the International Investor is in line with the Bank’s vision of being the leading and preferred financial partner in Brunei alongside our commitment to enrich, engage and empower the communities we serve.”

He further elaborated, “With significant changes in the regulatory and market environment in recent years and more anticipated changes to come, we have updated our organisational structure to focus more on key areas such as corporate governance and risk management, improve accountability and strengthen our capabilities to deliver on our strategic goals.”

In better positioning itself for sustainable growth and to provide better customer experience, Baiduri Bank has embarked on various initiatives such as the enhancement of their digital banking platforms. The Bank has also invested heavily in the development and well-being of its employees, through HR digitalisation efforts, partnerships with international learning solution providers and its recently launched Employee Wellness Initiative, to name a few.
