DBS named Asia’s Best Digital Bank by Euromoney, recognised for its AI leadership and responsible innovation
DBS generated ~SGD 1 billion in economic value from data analytics and AI/ML initiatives in 2025,
demonstrating measurable impact from AI in banking
As an AI-enabled bank with a heart, DBS is scaling AI responsibly, including through strengthened
governance and controls
SINGAPORE, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DBS has been named Asia’s Best Digital Bank at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, underscoring the bank’s leadership in harnessing artificial intelligence and digital innovation to shape the future of banking. This is in addition to three other regional wins, including Asia’s Best Digital Bank for Corporates, Asia’s Best Bank for Customer Experience for the second consecutive year, and ASEAN’s Best Bank.
Recognised for demonstrating measurable business impact from AI in banking
Being named “Asia’s Best Digital Bank” reflects DBS’ longstanding commitment to reimagining banking through technology and its mission to be an AI-enabled bank with a heart. Across the organisation, DBS has embedded AI into customer and employee journeys, moving beyond experimentation to driving transformation at scale. In 2025, over 2,000 models and more than 430 use cases had been deployed across the bank. In all, DBS’ data analytics and AI/ ML initiatives generated approximately SGD 1 billion in economic value.
“In 2025, artificial intelligence was a theme discussed widely across investor calls in the banking sector, but few institutions demonstrated its value with the same clarity and consistency as DBS,” Euromoney said in its award citation. “At the core of this performance is a bank-wide capability to move ideas from experimentation to scaled deployment with discipline and speed.”
DBS scales AI responsibly to deliver trusted banking experiences
DBS’ digital transformation has evolved from reimagining customer journeys to transformative initiatives which have enterprise-wide impact, or Operating Model Transformations (OMTs). OMTs involve re-engineering processes for human and AI collaboration; leveraging tools to enhance workflows; reskilling employees for new and augmented roles; and implementing simplified, adaptive organisational structures. These efforts are helping employees reduce toil, improve productivity and focus on higher-value activities, while enabling the bank to scale innovation across its businesses.
“As banking enters a new phase shaped by generative and agentic AI, DBS has moved early, demonstrating what scaled, real-world application can look like,” Euromoney noted.
