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.

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.
