Check out which banks won at the Asian Banking and Finance Awards 2013

Nearly 200 senior bankers graced the awards night in Singapore.

Asian Banking and Finance has indeed established the integrity of the Retail Banking Awards and Wholesale Banking Awards with a new record number of nominations, beating last year’s figures.

This year's prestigious awards night was hosted by BBC World news anchor Rico Hizon in Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore on July 18. Nearly 200 senior bankers attended the event to receive their respective awards.

Nominations sent by top Asian banks were judged by Dominic Nixon from PwC, Egidio Zarrella from KPMG, Mohit Mehrotra from Deloitte Consulting, Liew Nam Soon from Ernst and Young Advisory LLP, and Andrew Pitcher from Accenture.

Speaking at the awards night, Mohit Mehrotra from Deloitte revealed that the judges went through a very tough process in deciding who the winners are as the nominations all deserved credit for their excellent work amidst uncertainties and liquidity issues.

Publisher Tim Charlton said, "This is the seventh year of the Retail Banking Awards and the second year of the Wholesale Banking Awards. This year saw the largest ever number of countries in the region participating in the awards. Congratulations to all the winners."
