Sathapana Bank, one of Cambodia’s leading commercial banks, proudly announces that its mobile banking app, Sathapana Mobile, has been named the “Most Innovative Mobile Banking Application in Cambodia 2025” by the International Finance Awards. This accolade marks the third consecutive year that Sathapana Mobile has maintained its position as the most innovative app in the market.
In 2025 Sathapana Mobile grew its user base by 16% following a major revamp. This success is attributed to a revamp that combined innovative functionality with robust security measures. Dedicated to delivering a convenient, secure, and personalised experience, the updated app features simplified modern UI, faster performance, and customizable themes, widgets and backgrounds.
Security remains at the forefront of the Sathapana experience. Features such as FacePass Secure — utilising biometrics as a second-factor verification — and encrypted data storage protect customer information at every step. This steadfast focus on security ensures users can manage their finances with total peace of mind.
The app’s intuitive, all-in-one design provides centralized access to savings, loans and essential services, making financial management — and emergency funding — more accessible. Trusted by government bodies, corporations and individuals for everything from payroll to taxes, its widespread adoption reflects deep public confidence in Sathapana’s digital excellence.
“This award is more than just a milestone; it highlights our commitment to leveraging technology to enhance financial inclusion across the nation. We believe that digital banking should be a gateway for everyone to access financial services with ease. This recognition clearly indicates our relentless pursuit of innovation and our promise to lead the future of banking in Cambodia,” said Mr. Henk G. Mulder, Chief Executive Officer.
“Our success is a testament to our customers’ trust and our team’s dedication to excellence. I am confident that, together, we are building far more than a mobile app — we are fostering inclusive growth and a brighter economic future for the communities we serve,” he added.
