KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 (Bernama) -- AmBank Group has been awarded the “Best Digital Account Opening/ Customer on-boarding initiative/Application 2021” by The Asian Banker Malaysia Awards 2021.
Dato’ Sulaiman Mohd Tahir, Group Chief Executive Officer, AmBank Group said, “This award bodes well for our digital footprint, given our focus on delivering customer-centric solutions by leveraging on our digital capability thus allowing us to remain competitive amidst this fast-changing era of globalisation.”

“In May 2021, we launched a fully digital onboarding experience via our AmOnline app, eliminating the need to visit the bank branches. The development of the digital account opening was timely, amidst the on-going COVID-19 pandemic where we wanted our customers to be able to bank safely with us. We are truly honoured to be recognised for this feature,” added Aaron Loo, Managing Director, Retail Banking, AmBank.
