The Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Finance South Korea Awards is a well-established event, recognising remarkable innovation, leadership, management, and performance in consumer banking and technology in South Korea. Open to banks and non-banks, the programme honours the most innovative applications, products, and services in the industry. It also evaluates the successful implementation of technology projects between financial institutions and their technology partners.
The programme welcomes submissions from financial technology players such as payment companies, marketplaces, platforms, and alternative financial services platforms enabled by fintech, contributing to the transformation of the retail financial services industry.
We continue to align our awards programme with four major megatrends defining the global retail financial services industry for the next decade: personalisation at scale, new forms of customer engagement, embedded and inclusive finance, and the externalisation of financial services through open banking. These trends are underpinned by significant advancements in areas like DeFi and blockchain, generative AI, contactless payments and cloud computing.
