The Super Weight Series Continues: Now The Competition Tightens. CAMPU Bank Tops the US$2-4.99Bn Banking Division

SuperBankRatings An Andersen  Consulting Cambodia Specialized Research & Rating Platform   

    

Phnom Penh 18 Sept 2026 – SPECIAL MEDIA RELEASE

Following the 16 September US$1.0–1.99bn Super Weight release, the Cambodia SuperPower Banking Index 2026 moves up another division, into the US$2.0–4.999bn asset category.

This is where the Super Weight 🥊challenge becomes especially fierce.

Cambodia Public Bank takes the No.1 crown at 4.31/5.00, followed by Bank of China (HK) (Phnom Penh branch) at 4.22, Foreign Trade Bank of Cambodia at 4.05, Sathapana Bank at 4.00, and Wing Bank at 3.98.

This represents one of Cambodia’s most closely contested banking peer groups, characterized by limited differentiation among the leading institutions and a relatively narrow dispersion in overall performance.

Peer positioning is determined not by scale alone, but by the consistency and balance of key rating strengths across;
➡️ Financial performance;
➡️ Capital and liquidity;
➡️ Governance;
➡️ Risk management;
➡️ Franchise strength; and
➡️ Operational capability.
🥊Relatively modest changes in these key rating strengths will materially influence future peer differentiation and ranking outcomes.

As always, asset size only determines the division, it does not determine the result. The benchmark looks much deeper across 1️⃣1️⃣ parameters and 3️⃣2️⃣9️⃣ benchmark points, combining financial and non-financial measures of institutional quality, resilience and capability.

The Super Weight Battle Continues: Maybank (Cambodia) Tops The US$1.0–1.99Bn Banking Division

SuperBankRatings An Andersen  Consulting Cambodia Specialized Research & Rating Platform 

      

Phnom Penh 16 Sept 2026 – SPECIAL MEDIA  RELEASE

Maybank 🏦 leads this asset division, but CIMB Bank Cambodia is just 0.02 points behind at 4.40. SBI Bank (Cambodia) and Cambodia Post Bank share #3 at 4.24, with Chip Mong Commercial Bank completing the Top 5 at 4.15.

What makes this result particularly interesting is the limited peer differentiation at the top. Only 0.27 points separate the entire Top 5.

Different ownership structures, business models and institutional strengths are producing very similar overall outcomes, reinforcing why 🔴 BANK QUALITY cannot be assessed by balance-sheet size alone.

The SuperBankRatings benchmark goes considerably deeper: 49 commercial-bank assessments reviewed, 9 banks qualifying for this asset division,1️⃣1️⃣assessment parameters and3️⃣2️⃣9️⃣benchmark points, under our published 40% quantitative / 60% qualitative methodology. Asset size determines the peer category, it DOES NOT determine the ranking.

 

Cambodia SuperPower Banking Index- Super Weight US$1bn-1.9bn Asset Division -16Sept2026

 

Maybank’s result reflects strong governance and parent support, very strong liquidity, experienced management, leading sustainability capability and peer-leading technology. CIMB’s rating strengths are similarly broad, particularly its group backing, governance, risk infrastructure, liquidity, technology and sustainability.

The ranking tells the market who performed strongly.

🔝The Benchmark Report, and 🐎 The Form Guide both go further explaining why, where the rating sensitivities lie, and what each bank can do next.

And the Super Weight title series is only halfway through.

🥊 Next: US$2.0–4.99bn Super Weight Division (18Sept release)

🥊 Then: US$5bn+ Super Heavyweights (21Sept release)

Who takes the next No.1 crown? 🏆

SuperBankRatings An Andersen  Consulting Cambodia Specialized Research & Rating Platform

        

Phnom Penh 14 Sept 2026 – SPECIAL RELEASE

Today marks something special: The Inaugural Cambodia SuperPower Banking Index 2026, a first-of-its-kind SuperBankRatings release designed to raise the bar for how bank performance, institutional strength and resilience are compared across Cambodia.

This is more than a ranking. It introduces a deeper benchmark for the market, looking beyond size and headline profitability to governance, financial strength, funding and liquidity, risk management, market position, sustainability, technology and other institutional factors across 11 parameters and 329 benchmark points.

 

And the first result makes the point immediately:

Mizuho Bank Phnom Penh Branch and ARDB share the No.1 position at 4.19/5.00, despite very different institutional profiles.

The 🔴 objective is not simply to recognize today’s leaders, but to help set the benchmark for tomorrow’s banking performance.

 

The first bell 🔔 has rung. Cambodia’s new banking benchmark begins today.
