Maybank’s case for Asean’s best bank for large corporates is built on a regional franchise that is difficult to replicate. Its international network reaches Hong Kong, China, India, the Middle East, London and New York, but the operating centre of gravity is still firmly Asean.
Across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and the wider region, Maybank combines local balance sheets with transaction banking, markets, investment banking and Islamic finance, allowing it to support clients from working capital and treasury management through to acquisitions, sukuk and IPOs.
Maybank Global Banking remained the largest corporate bank in Malaysia in 2025, with a double digital increase in profit after tax, while generating more than half of the group’s revenue.
That scale is increasingly deployed across borders rather than market by market.
