ASEAN’s best transaction bank for non-bank financial institutions 2026: Maybank

Maybank combines a long-established presence in Southeast Asia with a growing role in the infrastructure connecting ASEAN’s financial markets. For non-bank financial institutions expanding across the region, the bank brings together local market access, settlement capabilities and cross-currency liquidity management to help them navigate fragmented domestic payment systems. 

Its financial institutions group, established in 2017, coordinates relationship coverage, cash management, trade finance and clearing across Maybank’s regional franchise. This gives payment companies, financing businesses and other non-bank institutions a single entry point into the bank’s local expertise and transaction banking services, rather than requiring them to navigate separate product teams or country operations. 

Connecting ASEAN’s payment systems 

Maybank’s position in cross-border payment linkages is central to the story.
