KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Private Banking was awarded Asia Pacific’s “Outstanding Wealth Manager for the Affluent” at the 19th Private Banker International Wealth Management Summit held in Singapore recently.

CIMB Private Banking, the sole Malaysian bank nominated for the category, clinched the award amid strong competition from industry players, including Standard Chartered, HSBC and Thailand’s Kasikornbank.

“We are extremely privileged to receive this recognition especially in the midst of such an unprecedented and challenging environment.

“This award showcased a strong vote of confidence in our expansion strategy, our dedicated employees, and our firm commitment to focus on our clients and to deliver to them a complete range of tailored private banking services,” said CIMB Private Banking co-head Carolyn Leng, who accepted the honour at the award ceremony.

The award was conferred to CIMB Private Banking by Private Banker International’s Advisory Board, which comprises independent industry experts.

CIMB Private Banking was chosen based on several criteria — the company’s clear and unique positioning and growth strategy, investment in human resources and/or systems in developing its business, innovation in products or services, superior client services and customer relationship management skills, and extension of its brand reach.
