KUALA LUMPUR: Affin Group's private banking arm, Affin Diventium, has been named Outstanding Private Bank Asia Pacific at the Private Banker International Global Wealth Awards 2026, just two years after its launch.

The recognition comes as the group's private banking business recorded a 38 per cent increase in assets under management to RM2.2 billion as of June 2026, from RM1.6 billion a year earlier.

Affin Group president and group chief executive officer Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah said the award reflected the group's ambition to build a competitive private banking business.

"When we established Affin Diventium, we set ourselves the ambition of delivering a top-tier private banking experience. Receiving Asia Pacific recognition within two years gives us confidence in the business we are building," he said.
