Asia’s Most Important Annual Gathering of Senior Retail Bankers


The Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services Convention is scheduled to take place in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand from 15 to 16 May 2008. Over the years, The Excellence in Retail Financial Services Convention has cultivated a reputation of becoming the most anticipated annual meeting for outstanding retail banks in the Asia Pacific, GCC and Central Asia regions. It is now the premier platform for retail banking leaders from these countries to meet, take stock and benchmark themselves against the best and the brightest of the banking world.

The event drives its roots from The Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services Programme, which is a culmination of an annual six-month research survey and assessment of the best retail financial institutions, products and processes in the region. The Asian Banker Research team collates primary data from more than 150 retail financial institutions and presents the findings to international assessors, who contribute their respective insights into the different aspects of retail banking, risk management, distribution strategies and consumer lending among others.

The Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services Awards Programme has been the most revered performance benchmark of the best retail banks in this increasingly competitive marketplace since 2001.
