Which institutions are eligible?
For most awards, banks and non-bank financial institutions, including insurance companies, credit companies, non-bank finance firms, internet finance companies, and card associations, are eligible. Fintech companies, marketplace platforms, and other alternative providers offering bank-related products and services are also considered. These companies will be evaluated alongside financial institutions if they submit their entries using the attached submission kit.
What questionnaires need to be completed?
To be eligible for an entry into the awards, a questionnaire is required. If you are interested in receiving the submission kit, please contact Ms. Sheena Gaboy at smgaboy@tab.global if you are interested in participating in this programme.
Will institutions that do not make a submission be considered?
We encourage all financial institutions to make submissions. Regardless, TAB Global makes its own assessment based on interviews, industry observations and own research. Institutions that do not make submissions risk not having complete descriptions of their programmes fully considered, but where we find worthy institutions, we will initiate our own enquiries.
When to submit?
To be considered for an award, a complete submission must reach us no later than 22 November 2024. You can submit your entries in any format. For all financial data, please provide pro forma figures up to period for which audited figures are available. For full year figures, please strictly provide pro forma figures. Announcements will be made from 3 January 2025 onwards.
Is the information submitted made available to the public?
All information submitted is treated in strictest confidence and used for evaluation purposes only. The Asian Banker publishes generic reports and normalised benchmarks that discuss trends and emerging best practices from the programme. Our published profiles of retail institutions and generic reports can be found in the Future Bank Working Group, which is available through membership. We do not discuss any specific submission under any circumstances whatsoever.
Where should the submission be sent?
For all submissions, please send directly to excellence@tab.global.
