Setting a new milestone for Hong Kong’s digital finance: global recognitions for all-round excellence 🏆
As we step into 2026, we have some exhilarating news to share with you all! 🎉
Reflecting on the past year, ZA Bank has not only recorded a semi-annual net profit of HKD 49 million and surpassed the one million user mark, but our endeavours have also garnered unanimous acclaim from authoritative bodies globally. We are thrilled to announce that ZA Bank has swept multiple international awards, becoming the first bank in Hong Kong to receive widespread recognition in both the digital banking and cryptocurrency service sectors. This is not merely a commendation of our performance over the past year; it signifies our successful graduation from a "Virtual Bank" to a "NextGen" financial institution! 🚀
Cementing our "NextGen" status with a third consecutive win from The Asset ⭐
Our passion for driving digital finance continues to command international respect. We are proud to be listed in The Asset’s prestigious "Triple A Digital Awards 2025" for the third year running!
Even more encouraging is that, after being named "Virtual Bank of the Year" for two successive years, we have been elevated this year to the title of "NextGen Digital Bank of the Year". This distinction substantiates that the industry views our business model as having transcended beyond a mere emerging concept to become a formidable force leading the next generation of financial development! 💪
Pioneering the Web3 wave with our first crypto accolade 🪙
Beyond traditional banking services, our strategic deployment in Web3 has also set a precedent. In the awards evaluated by International Finance, we clinched the "Best Retail Cryptocurrency Banking Services" award, becoming the first digital bank in Hong Kong to receive this honour. This affirms our leading position in promoting the popularisation of Web3 finance within a compliant framework.
Simultaneously, we have achieved a "Grand Slam" by securing the "Best Digital Bank in Hong Kong" title from both International Finance and The Digital Banker, demonstrating that our comprehensive strength has reached a top-tier international standard 🌏.
A fusion of soft and hard power: Secure and seamless 🛡️
Underpinning our fintech excellence is our unwavering insistence on user experience and security:

We remain vigilant and unwavering in safeguarding your assets!
Looking ahead 🚀
2025 was a year where ZA Bank received high-level international recognition. Behind every honour—from recording our first profit to winning our inaugural cryptocurrency award—the most vital element is the trust and support of you, our one million users 💚.
