Five banks from Bangladesh have recently been awarded at the Asiamoney best bank awards 2018.

Asiamoney, a financial publication, presented the awards for excellence across a range of core banking activities over the past 12 months, reports Euromoney, a UK-based English monthly magazine focused on business and finance.

Brac Bank received three awards for being the best domestic bank as well as digital bank and for its corporate social responsibility at the presentation ceremony at JW Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong on Monday

Standard Chartered bagged the one for best international bank and City Bank received the premium banking services award while the best corporate and investment bank award went to Eastern Bank.

HSBC won accolade as the best bank in small and medium-sized enterprise category.

The winners were selected by a team of senior journalists chaired by Euromoney's editor.

They received detailed submissions from market participants along with research into the banking and capital markets of the country by its editorial committee.

The magazine's editors also visited the country to meet leading bankers and gather client and competitor feedback.
