Phillip Bank Strengthens Leadership Team to Drive Digitalization Strategy

PhillipCapital Cambodia has reinforced its commitment to digital transformation with the appointment of Raymond Chee as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Phillip Bank and Jeffrey Chew as Chief Executive Officer of Phillip General Insurance. These leadership changes reflect the bank’s strategic focus on enhancing digital banking and financial services in Cambodia.

New Leadership to Drive Digital Innovation

Raymond Chee joins Phillip Bank with nearly three decades of experience in the financial sector, having held leadership roles in various subsidiaries of a major Singaporean financial group. His expertise spans Cash Management, Trusts & Fiduciary Services, Securities, and Corporate Banking, positioning him as a key driver in Phillip Bank’s push toward a more digitalized and efficient banking ecosystem. With Cambodia’s financial sector rapidly evolving, Raymond’s background in international markets, including Asia and North America, will help steer the bank towards greater digital integration.

Similarly, Jeffrey Chew brings 26 years of strategic leadership in insurance, with a strong focus on digital claims management and operational efficiency. Previously, as Head of Claims & Performance Management at a global insurance firm, he led major digital initiatives to enhance customer experience. His recognition with the 2023 Asia Pacific TEX Award for Claims, along with his role as Chairperson for the General Insurance Association of Singapore Workgroup on Motor Surveyor Regulation, underscores his expertise in leveraging technology for improved service delivery. At Phillip General Insurance, Jeffrey will focus on integrating digital strategies to streamline claims processing and customer engagement.

Commitment to a Digital-First Approach

Welcoming the new leaders, Mr. Ong Teong Hoon, Director of PhillipCapital Cambodia, stated: “Raymond and Jeffrey’s appointments come at a pivotal time for Phillip Bank and Phillip General Insurance as we accelerate our digitalization strategy. Raymond’s experience in digital banking and corporate financial services will drive innovation at Phillip Bank, while Jeffrey’s expertise in digital claims management will introduce more efficient processes at Phillip General Insurance. Their leadership will ensure we remain at the forefront of Cambodia’s financial evolution.”

Phillip Bank’s focus on digital transformation aligns with broader industry trends as financial institutions across Cambodia increasingly integrate digital solutions to enhance customer experience, streamline operations, and expand financial inclusion. With an emphasis on mobile banking, AI-driven financial tools, and digital payments, Phillip Bank is positioning itself as a leader in modern banking solutions.

PhillipCapital’s Global Presence and Digital Vision
