Andersen Consulting Cambodia said Wednesday that its specialised research and rating platform had ranked Maybank (Cambodia) first at 4.42/5.00 points in the US$1.0–1.999 billion asset category — just ahead of CIMB Bank Cambodia at 4.40/5.00 points.

SBI Bank (Cambodia) and Cambodia Post Bank shared third place at 4.24/5.00 points followed by Chip Mong Commercial Bank in fifth at 4.15/5.00 points.

“Maybank and CIMB are separated by only 0.02 points, showing how tightly contested the top of this peer group is,” a statement said.

“The equal-third tie between SBI and Cambodia Post demonstrates that different institutional models can produce the same overall outcome, while Chip Mong’s fifth place highlights the value of liquidity, ecosystem strength and digital capability.”

For Maybank, “strong governance and parent support, very strong liquidity, mature management, leading sustainability and peer-leading technology drove the No. 1 result. The main upside is sustained credit-quality improvement and stronger earnings efficiency.”

In the case of CIMB, “exceptional parent/group support, strong governance and risk infrastructure, disciplined liquidity, leading technology and sustainability, and improving earnings place (the bank) just 0.02 points behind. Asset-quality containment and deeper local earnings remain the key upside.”

As for SBI, the statement noted “very strong parent support, liquidity, technology, improving profitability, governance and nationwide distribution drove the equal-third result. Post-transition asset quality, fee income and local sustainability/cyber outcomes are the main next steps.”

For Cambodia Post Bank, “technology, shareholder support, funding improvement, regulatory alignment and nationwide reach underpin the equal-third result. Integration execution, credit quality, profitability and measurable stress/sustainability outcomes remain key priorities.”

In the case of Chip Mong Commercial Bank, “rapid franchise growth, strong liquidity and capital, a more customer-funded balance sheet, local ecosystem advantages and digital capability support fifth place. Credit-quality repair, concentration control and stronger risk-adjusted profitability are the main priorities.”
