The awards were presented at the Asian Banking & Finance Awards 2025 ceremony held in Singapore on 3/7. HDBank received two awards: best domestic retail bank and best bank for marketing and branding.
A representative stated this is the 4th consecutive year HDBank has been named the best domestic retail bank. The award recognizes HDBank's achievements in retail banking, digital transformation, and market share expansion.

This year also marks the first time HDBank has received the award for best branding strategy. The bank was honored for its modern and innovative branding, robust service platform, digital capabilities, and strong operations. The award elevates the bank into the ranks of leading Asian brands such as: UOB Singapore, HSBC Hong Kong, and Krungsri Bank Thailand. These institutions have previously received the branding strategy award from Asian Banking & Finance magazine.
Asian Banking & Finance magazine highlighted three key factors contributing to HDBank's success: creative content and implementation, effective communication demonstrated by brand awareness and preference, and the ability to adapt to market trends. These factors have helped the bank increase brand visibility on digital platforms and enhance customer engagement. As a result, the bank is progressively shaping a modern, responsible, and emotionally resonant brand image.
An HDBank representative said the two international awards are milestones in the bank's 35-year journey. "From a pioneering role during the renovation period, we have continuously strived to become a modern financial institution with a distinct identity and an increasingly strong presence in the regional market," the representative stated.
