The “Awards for Excellence” ceremony, organized annually by Euromoney, a leading international publication covering global banking and financial markets, recognizes outstanding achievements and excellence across the global financial services industry. At the 2026 awards, Golomt Bank was named the winner in four prestigious categories in Mongolia: Best Bank, Best Bank for SMEs, Best Bank for Sustainable Finance, and Best Digital Bank.
For more than 30 years, Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence have recognised financial institutions that set the global standard in performance, innovation and client impact. The programme is bigger and more competitive than ever, with several hundreds of financial institutions across more than 100 countries expected to take part.
Its vision of Mongolia’s global benchmark bank, Golomt Bank delivers professional, world-class, and environmentally sustainable financial services, leveraging advanced technologies and continuous innovation to meet the evolving needs of its valued customers. The Bank serves customers nationwide through more than 100 branches and units. Golomt Bank further strengthened Mongolia’s presence in international capital markets by successfully issuing USD 500 million in senior unsecured bonds in May 2026, which were subsequently listed on the Singapore Exchange.
As a “Water Ambassador”, Golomt Bank has played an active role in advancing sustainable finance initiatives in connection with the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the UNCCD. As part of its commitment to water conservation, the Bank has developed and introduced its “Blue Bond Guidelines” to promote investment in the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of water resources. In collaboration with the Mongolian Nature’s Legacy Foundation, Golomt Bank has also launched the “Nature” virtual card, aimed at supporting the conservation of Mongolia’s strictly protected areas and natural heritage sites. Furthermore, the Bank encourages its customers to embrace sustainable practices by providing a range of green and blue financing solutions. Looking ahead, Golomt Bank remains committed to advancing its sustainable finance strategy, with a target of increasing green loans to 10% of its total loan portfolio by 2030.
Furthermore, the Bank has consistently supported small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a particular focus on women-led businesses. Through tailored financing solutions, mentorship, and capacity-building programs, Golomt Bank empowers entrepreneurs to expand their businesses, strengthen their operations, and achieve sustainable growth. Golomt Bank has signed a USD 50 million long-term financing agreement with FinDev Canada. The funding aims to support Mongolia’s sustainable economic growth while improving access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises and accelerating the country’s green transition. As of the first half of 2026, SME lending represented 28% of Golomt Bank’s total loan portfolio, and this financing will further strengthen the Bank’s capacity to expand its long-standing support for the sector.
Leveraging IT and innovation, Golomt Bank pioneers the introduction of products, services, and business models in Mongolia’s banking sector that save customers time and costs while enhancing their satisfaction. These solutions also contribute to advancing best practices across Mongolia’s public and private sectors. For example, the Bank successfully implemented CIPS of the People’s Republic of China, the “Skate” card, the first wearable payment card in Mongolia, Universe cards, the Google Pay wallet, and a payment solution enabling WeChat QR code scanning via the SocialPay app. Also, Golomt Bank has completed a comprehensive system upgrade of its digital banking services across the egolomt.mn platform and Smart Bank mobile application.
As a leader in Mongolia’s banking sector, Golomt Bank remains committed to contributing to the nation’s development by supporting transformative projects, empowering small and medium-sized enterprises, and advancing environmentally sustainable business practices. We extend our sincere gratitude to our valued customers, partners, and dedicated employees for their continued trust and support.
