Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad (Alliance Bank or "Bank") was named the "Best SME Bank" in Asia Pacific, Gulf Region & Africa for 2013 by the prestigious Asian Banker at the Excellence in Retail Financial Services International Awards 2013 held in Seoul, South Korea. 


Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad is a dynamic, integrated banking group offering end-to-end banking and financial solutions through its consumer banking, business banking, Islamic banking, investment banking and stockbroking businesses as well as unit trust and asset management, having served the financial community over the past five decades.

The award proves that their business strategy based on proactive customer relationship management,a strong programme lending risk model, and innovative product development, has allowed the Bank to differentiate itself in the Malaysian SME segment. 

The Asian Banker is a leading provider of strategic business intelligence for the financial services industry. The Excellence in Retail Financial Services Programme was instituted in 2001 to recognise the pursuit of excellence amongst retail financial institutions in the region. 

For the 2013 awards, more than 160 retail financial institutions from countries in the Asia Pacific, Central Asia, the Gulf region and Africa were assessed in detail by The Asian Banker alongside an international panel of judges. The Programme is predicated by a Core Belief that "a well-run bank is one that demonstrates a long term, sustainable, profitable franchise with the customer as its core proposition."
