Chinabank was recognized among the best organizations, teams, and individuals in Southeast Asia that redefine the future of work through technology and purposeful transformation.
The bank earned the Silver Award for Human Capital Management (HCM) Innovation and Implementation under the Visionary Organizations category at the recent People Matters Infini-T Awards SEA 2026 in Singapore.
The award is in recognition of the bank’s successful digital transformation of its HR ecosystem through SyncHROne, developed in partnership with Darwinbox and launched in 2025. The AI-powered, mobile-enabled SyncHROne streamlines HR operations and enhances employee engagement and productivity.
“We are proud of this achievement, which reflects our shared commitment to building a future-ready, inclusive, and innovation-driven workplace. Through SyncHROne, we have empowered Chinabankers with a unified ‘source of truth’ that allows them to focus on what matters most—growth and excellence,” Chinabank Human Resources Group Head Tani Cruz said.
Aside from its triumph at the Infini-T Awards, the highlight of the two-day People Matters TechHR Singapore 2026, Chinabank also shared its HR transformation journey during the “Futurist Circle” breakout session. HRG Strategic Support Division Head Rizza Salvino explained how Chinabank leveraged AI and data-driven insights to redefine the employee experience and boost performance. She said leaders drive business results when they take charge, supported by HR’s efforts to enable agility through technology and to strengthen decision-making with data-driven insights. She also noted that digital transformation is about transforming the people who use the new technology—empowering them to think, work, and lead differently.
