‘The Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards’ is a programme designed to determine and award best practices of technological innovation in banking operations. Year after year the programme receives a growing number of submissions covering a range of technology projects that are transforming to-day’s banking industry.

The winners are honoured each year during the Asian Banker Summit, the largest annual meeting of financial institutions in the Asia Pacific region. The Summit includes a Technology and Innovations conference, a unique forum where decision makers can share, benchmark and learn from one another’s experiences in the selection, implementation and execution of IT projects.

Submissions are made jointly by banks in the Asia Pacific region and their IT partners, as a necessary part of a thorough evaluation is to understand the views of both partners. As IT projects often take years for completion, only projects that were completed or made fully functional are considered for the awards. The evaluation criteria are set out and form part of a rigorous and transparent process vetted by leading practitioners, independent advisors and an international panel of industry experts.
