KBZ Bank: A new generation of banking

For over two decades, KBZ Bank has been part of Myanmar’s growth story, working tirelessly to strengthen communities and institutions for the long term and to improve the quality of life for all. As Myanmar’s largest privately-owned bank, we represent more than 40 percent of both retail and commercial banking in the country, driving the success of the nation’s entrepreneurs, businesses, and communities. We safeguard the assets of over 1 million business customers across the country, providing support, guidance, and critical access to finance. Today, KBZ Bank is helping to fast-track Myanmar’s development in the digital age, embracing next-generation banking while pioneering new ways of financial inclusion.

We have seized the advantages of mobile-first technology in promoting financial inclusion and connecting our customers to the people, opportunities, and places that they value most. Through KBZPay, Myanmar’s fastest-growing mobile wallet with more than 9.1 million users, we have brought banking beyond our 500 branches and to even more communities. We are also transforming from the inside out, drawing on the latest technologies to work more efficiently and serve our customers better, while developing the bankers and leaders of the future.

Purpose
Our purpose is to improve the quality of life in Myanmar by increasing access to financial products and services, thereby giving communities and businesses access to opportunities and a better quality of life.

KBZ Bank’s Talent Factory
KBZ Bank recognizes that the future of Myanmar – and its banking sector – lies in the hands of the next generation. That is why we take talent development across the organization seriously. From coders and digital bankers to thought leaders and future shapers, we equip our employees with world-class skills and future-ready tools.

Building the bank of the future
At KBZ Bank, we deploy agile management approaches in various aspects of how we work – including bringing people together on cross-functional projects to question the status quo and evolve better ways of working. This represents a break from a top-down approach, empowers our employees, and taps their insights in designing the bank of the future.

Personal Challenge
We put the emphasis on individual responsibility, opportunity, and autonomy. We encourage growth through continuous on-the-job development and a fast-paced environment that will stretch and build your expertise daily. We encourage our people to view their career as a journey; to think not about a vertical career ladder, but a long-term aspiration to broaden their exposure or deepen their skills over time. We would like to build the Bankers of Tomorrow for Myanmar!

Thant Zaw

Bank

The reason why I love KBZ Bank is that KBZ feels like my second home and my colleagues are all from very diverse backgrounds which keeps things interesting and gives me useful insights about people that I can apply to my work. Every day is challenging for me as I deal with customers with very different needs and backgrounds. Finding solutions to their problems gives me job satisfaction.

Soe Myat Myat Aung

Brand Communication Department

3 years seniority has earned me experience that money cannot buy. As we are responsible for all aspects of marketing the environment I work in is varied and dynamic - no two days are the same. One day I may be traveling on location behind the scenes organizing a launch, a photographic or TV shoot. The next day I might be in front of the camera as it's our ethos to use our own staff for models!

Ma Nay Nann Yi

Accounts Department

I've always wanted to work in the finance sector and working for the leading bank was my dream. I'm in the Accounts Department and at first I was nervous to recognize all the Account codes, but it got easier later because my colleagues and my seniors helped me like they were my own family so I'm lucky to have some great mentors here.Working for KBZ Bank has helped my confidence grow.
