ABA Bank Wins "Financial Innovation of the Year" for Digital Banking Excellence
ABA Bank has announced that it has received the Financial Innovation of the Year – Financial Services award at the Asian Innovation Excellence Awards 2025. The accolade recognises the Bank’s ongoing leadership in digital banking and its commitment to delivering secure, innovative, and user-centred financial solutions. The award ceremony took place on 5 November at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore.
The award highlights the success of ABA Mobile, the Bank’s flagship digital banking application, which has transformed the way Cambodians manage their finances. Since its launch a decade ago, the app has evolved into a comprehensive platform that empowers users with greater control, convenience, and security in their everyday banking activities.
One of the key innovations within the ABA Mobile app is FacePass Secure, Cambodia’s first live facial-recognition feature for banking. Designed to protect high-value transactions and sensitive account settings, this technology underscores the Bank’s proactive approach to safeguarding customer trust in an increasingly digital environment.
Another standout feature recognised by the judging panel is Navi, Cambodia’s first AI-powered virtual banking assistant. Integrated into the ABA Mobile app and available in multiple languages, Navi responds to customer enquiries in real time, setting a new benchmark for accessible and efficient customer support.
To further support smarter financial habits, the app’s Analytic Feature introduces the country’s first personal-finance management tools within a banking platform. By enabling users to track spending, set budgets, and generate customised reports, ABA Mobile helps customers make informed financial decisions with confidence.
The Asian Innovation Excellence Awards honour organisations that demonstrate measurable results and address major challenges through innovative solutions and operational improvements, recognising initiatives that drive meaningful progress across industries in the region.
