Baiduri Bank was recognised as Domestic Retail Bank of the Year – Brunei at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) Retail Banking Awards 2025 for the 13th consecutive year, underscoring its sustained excellence in financial performance, innovation, and customer-centric growth.
In awarding the title, Asian Banking & Finance commended Baiduri Bank for its “stellar performance in the past year, driven by strong financial health and effective management.”
The award coincides with the Bank’s regional expansion with the recent launch of the Singapore Representative Office. This strategic move will strengthen the Bank’s presence, promote its corporate and institutional banking capabilities, and deepen engagement with counterparty banks and financial institutions.
Commenting on the award, Ti Eng Hui, CEO of Baiduri Bank, said: “We are honoured to receive this recognition again from Asian Banking & Finance. It reflects the dedication of our people and the trust placed in us by our customers and partners. Over the past year, we have continued to strengthen our core, advance our regional diversification strategy, and invest in digital capabilities to better serve our customers. As we look ahead, we remain focused on delivering impactful financial solutions that are built on sound governance, innovation, and a deep understanding of the communities we serve.”
Lim Kian Chiong, Head of Retail Banking, and Brian Wong, Head of Wealth Management, received the award on behalf of Baiduri Bank at the awards ceremony in Singapore.
“This award reflects our continued efforts to redefine what banking means for our customers. At Baiduri Bank, we are committed to elevating the retail experience, whether it’s through intuitive platforms like Tap2Pay that enables small businesses to accept contactless payments using smartphones, or through programmes that empower customers to take charge of their financial wellness. Our focus remains on delivering personalised, forward-thinking solutions that not only meet evolving needs but also create meaningful impact in the lives of the customers we serve,” said Lim Kian Chiong.
