Singapore, 23 July 2026 – Tyme Group today announced that GoTyme Bank has been named Best Digital Bank for Consumers at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026 across both its South Africa and the Philippines operations—making it the leading digital bank in all the markets in which it operates.
The award follows another year of exceptional growth for Tyme Group, which today serves more than 23 million customers across South Africa and the Philippines, onboarding approximately 400,000 new customers every month and maintaining a 75% monthly activity rate—among the highest levels of customer engagement in digital banking.
The Group has also demonstrated that financial inclusion and commercial success can go hand in hand. GoTyme Bank in South Africa (formerly TymeBank) became profitable in under five years, making it one of the fastest digital banks globally to achieve profitability and reinforcing the sustainability of the Group's technology platform and operating model.
Commenting on the award, Coenraad Jonker, Founder and CEO of Tyme Group, said: "This recognition reflects our belief that digital banking should be accessible, trusted and relevant to everyday life. Being recognised across all the markets in which we operate is particularly meaningful. It validates our model at scale and across diverse customer segments. By combining technology with physical access through retail ecosystems, we’re able to serve millions of customers who have historically been underserved by traditional banking."
The Group continues to invest in products that deepen customer relationships, including savings, payments, lending and merchant services, while leveraging its proprietary GoTymeX technology platform to accelerate innovation across multiple markets. This has supported annualised revenue of approximately US$352 million and deposits of US$1.2 billion, while maintaining strong growth and capital efficiency.
As Tyme Group continues its international expansion, the award reinforces its position as one of the world's fastest-growing and most innovative digital banking groups—demonstrating that a scalable, customer-centric model focused on financial inclusion can deliver leadership across multiple markets, alongside meaningful social impact and sustainable commercial performance.
