Top 10 Malaysian Banks by Total Assets (2026)
Ranked by audited total assets, verified 29 June 2026 -- Maybank leads at RM1.05 trillion, the country's only bank past the trillion-ringgit mark.
This is a data ranking ordered strictly by total assets, sourced from each bank's own audited financial statements or results announcement and verified on 29 June 2026. Malaysia's Top Ten has no commercial relationship with any bank listed, and no bank can pay to appear or influence its position. This ranking is not investment advice and should not be used as the basis for any investment, deposit, or financial decision.
Quick answer
Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank) is Malaysia's largest bank by total assets, at RM1,053.6 billion (RM1.05 trillion) as at 31 December 2025, according to Malaysia's Top Ten's data ranking verified against Maybank's own FY2025 Group Financial Statements on 29 June 2026 -- the only Malaysian bank whose balance sheet exceeds RM1 trillion, well ahead of second-placed CIMB Group Holdings (RM778.7 billion) and third-placed Public Bank Berhad (RM562 billion).
- Maybank is the only Malaysian bank whose balance sheet exceeds RM1 trillion -- at RM1,053.6 billion, it is larger than the combined total assets of the 4th-, 5th- and 6th-ranked banks on this list (RHB, Hong Leong and AmBank combined: RM871.6 billion).
- This ranking uses total assets specifically because our companion revenue ranking excludes banks over inconsistent revenue-disclosure bases across institutions. Total assets doesn't have that problem: every Malaysian bank discloses it the same way, audited, every year.
- Six of these ten banks are Bursa Malaysia-listed at the holding-company level (Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong Bank and AmBank Group); Bank Islam trades via its holding company, while Affin, MBSB and Bank Muamalat sit lower in Bursa free-float or are unlisted.
- Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad, despite reporting record FY2025 profit and loan growth, is not included here: Malaysia's Top Ten could not verify a precisely dated total-assets figure for the bank within its research window.
How this ranking was decided
Data ranking ordered strictly by total assets, sourced directly from each bank's own audited financial statements, results announcement, or a named credit-rating agency disclosure, verified 29 June 2026. Total assets is used here specifically because it is disclosed on a consistent basis across all Malaysian banks -- unlike revenue (see our companion Malaysian companies by revenue ranking, which excludes banks for that reason). Fiscal year-ends vary: most report to 31 December 2025; AmBank Group and Hong Leong Bank report to 31 March 2025 and 30 June 2025 respectively.

Our companion ranking of Malaysian companies by revenue deliberately excludes banks, because Malaysian banks disclose "revenue" on inconsistent accounting bases -- some report gross interest income, others net operating income, and we could not verify a like-for-like figure across institutions. Total assets doesn't have that problem. Every Malaysian bank publishes an audited balance sheet, every year, on the same basis -- which makes it the metric that actually lets banks be compared fairly against each other.
This is a banks-only ranking: it says nothing about which bank has the best rates, the best app, or the best branch service. It measures balance-sheet scale, verified against each bank's own financial disclosures on 29 June 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Which Malaysian bank has the most total assets?
Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank), at RM1,053.6 billion (RM1.05 trillion) as at 31 December 2025, verified against Maybank's own FY2025 Group Financial Statements on 29 June 2026 -- the only Malaysian bank whose balance sheet exceeds RM1 trillion.
Why does this ranking use total assets instead of revenue?
Because total assets is disclosed consistently across all Malaysian banks, while "revenue" is not -- Malaysian banks report revenue on materially different bases (some gross interest income, others net operating income). Our companion Malaysian companies by revenue ranking excludes banks entirely for that reason; this dedicated banks-only ranking uses the metric that actually allows a fair comparison.
Why isn't Alliance Bank Malaysia included?
Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad reported record FY2025 profit and 12% loan growth, but Malaysia's Top Ten could not verify a precisely dated total-assets figure for the bank from its available public disclosures within the research window. It was excluded rather than estimated.
Are all ten of these banks listed on Bursa Malaysia?
Most are: Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong Bank and AmBank Group all trade on Bursa Malaysia at the holding-company level, as does Bank Islam via BIMB Holdings and MBSB directly. Affin Bank Group is listed; Bank Muamalat Malaysia is not publicly listed.
How was this Malaysian banks ranking compiled?
Malaysia's Top Ten sourced each bank's total assets directly from its own audited financial statements, results announcement, or a named credit-rating agency disclosure, verified 29 June 2026. The order is decided strictly by that figure; no editorial adjustment was applied.
How this ranking was produced
- Question: which Malaysian banks hold the largest total assets, as of 2026.
- Metric: total assets as reported in each bank's own audited financial statements, results announcement, or a named credit-rating agency disclosure. Verified 29 June 2026.
- Why total assets, not revenue: Malaysian banks disclose revenue on materially different bases (gross interest income vs. net operating income); total assets is disclosed consistently across all institutions, making it the fairer cross-bank metric.
- Scope: Malaysia-headquartered and Malaysia-incorporated banking groups with a verifiable, dated total-assets figure at verification.
- Fiscal year note: most banks report to 31 December 2025; AmBank Group reports to 31 March 2025 and Hong Leong Bank to 30 June 2025 -- each bank's own most recently completed financial year at verification was used.
- Sourcing confidence note: Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad's figure (RM44.3 billion) is sourced from the bank's own published materials via a third-party case study rather than a directly verified annual report page, and carries a lower confidence than the other nine entries -- flagged here for transparency.
- Ties: none occurred.
Notable exclusions
Candidates considered but not ranked, and why:
- Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad — Reported record FY2025 performance (revenue up 12.3% to RM2.3 billion, gross loans up 12.0% to RM62.4 billion) but a precisely dated total-assets figure could not be verified from available public disclosures within Malaysia's Top Ten's research window. Excluded rather than estimated.
- Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad and OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad — Locally incorporated foreign-bank subsidiaries; both were sizeable as of a 2023 reference point (approximately RM57.9 billion and RM99.5 billion respectively) but a precisely dated FY2025 total-assets figure could not be verified within the research window.

Limitations
Total assets figures are drawn from each bank's most recently completed financial year at verification (29 June 2026) and may be restated in subsequent filings; this is a dated snapshot, not a live feed. Total assets measures balance-sheet scale, not profitability, service quality, deposit safety or investment merit; this ranking is not investment or banking advice. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad's figure carries lower sourcing confidence than the other nine entries -- see the methodology note. Fiscal year-ends vary by institution (most report to 31 December 2025; AmBank Group to 31 March 2025; Hong Leong Bank to 30 June 2025).
