PRecious Communications' Banking AI Authority Index 2026 shows how visibility changes by question, service and language across six markets and 11 AI services / LLMs.
43%: Same question. Different banks first. Across AI-route comparisons, the first-mentioned bank changed.
34%: Business questions bring more banks into the answer. Business-banking responses named 34% more banks on average than consumer-banking answers.
Six ASEAN markets: Being mentioned isn’t the same as being named first. The study maps both across Southeast Asian banking.
Across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, the study tracks 13 priority banks - and shows why appearing in an AI answer is not the same as being named first.
SINGAPORE, Oct 20, 2026 - PRecious Communications, an award-winning multi-market integrated communications consultancy, today released the regional findings of its flagship research study, the PRecious AI Authority Index: Southeast Asia Banking 2026. The research reveals that a bank prominent in one AI service may be far less visible or entirely absent in another. Across 1,628 eligible matched service comparisons, 706 pairsor 43%, produced a different first-mentioned bank when the tested AI service changed.
The research establishes why corporate communications, and marketing leaders cannot rely on a single AI platform, dashboard score, or generic brand search to assess digital reputation. Powered by PRecious Pulse, the agency’s proprietary measurement and research platform, the study evaluated 2,740 response records spanning six Southeast Asian markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam), eight languages, and 11 AI and search service proxies. The index also revealed that decision context significantly impacts competitive density: business-banking answers named 4.73 banks on average, compared with 3.52 for consumer-banking answers, a 34% wider competitive field.
"AI has made comparisons instant, but not consistent. Any brand - like banks in our study - can lead one answer and disappear from the next," said Lars Voedisch, Founder and Group CEO of PRecious Communications. "The job for communicators and marketers is not to chase one specific AI engine or manipulate a single metric. It is to build a clear, evidence-backed story across owned content, customer proof, and earned media that holds up regardless of the service, market, or language a buyer uses."
Six Markets, Six Distinct AI Competitive Landscapes
The study demonstrates that Southeast Asia cannot be treated as a single information environment. While DBS and Maybank demonstrated consistent dominance across tested answers in Singapore and Malaysia respectively, and Vietcombank led across all question groups in Vietnam, markets like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand showed divided or highly question-dependent results:
Indonesia: BCA achieved the highest overall answer presence (86%), but BCA and Bank Mandiri tied on overall first mentions (34%), with leadership shifting based on whether the query addressed personal banking (BCA 63% first) or business banking (Bank Mandiri 56% first).
Philippines: BPI led total answer reach across consumer (73%), business (96%), and trust questions (92%), yet BDO dominated first-mention prominence across all four tested question categories (up to 75% in business banking).
Thailand: Kasikornbank led consumer banking first mentions (65%), while Bangkok Bank led business banking first mentions (60%). Language testing revealed that English and Thai prompts generated different first-mentioned banks in 60% of eligible matched comparisons (15 of 25 pairs).
"In the 'Artificial Intelligence Economy,' executive teams must distinguish between answer presence and first-mention prominence," added Lars. "Being included in an AI response is a baseline requirement; leading the answer requires checkable public proof, consistent corporate reporting, and third-party media validation."
Public Proof and Media Verification
The Index emphasizes that AI models heavily rely on verifiable public evidence. For brand leaders, priority claims regarding security, digital transformation, or cross-border trade must be explicitly documented and consistent across corporate websites, leadership communications, regulatory filings, and independent earned media.
Southeast Asia Is Not One Information Environment
The regional study covers Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It found consistent leaders in some markets and divided or question-dependent patterns in others. Different languages, banking structures and customer needs already make Southeast Asia diverse. AI can amplify that diversity by changing the brands, evidence, and answer order shown to different audiences.
The study is diagnostic. It does not rank bank quality, trust, safety, customer preference or financial performance. First mention records answer order only. Results are a point-in-time August 2026 snapshot and can change as services, search, and public evidence change.
The report is available online: https://pulse.preciouscomms.com/ai-authority-index
About the PRecious AI Authority Index - Note to Editors
The PRecious AI Authority Index examines what AI says about a brand, which public evidence supports the answer, where the gaps are and what communications teams can change. PRecious Pulse is the measurement, research and insights platform behind the work.
Banks tracked (16): 13 priority banks, grouped by home market - Indonesia: BCA and Bank Mandiri; Malaysia: Maybank and CIMB; Philippines: BPI and BDO; Singapore: DBS, OCBC and UOB; Thailand: Kasikornbank and Bangkok Bank; Vietnam: Vietcombank and Techcombank. Plus, three global-bank examples: HSBC, Standard Chartered and Citibank as additional examples from the business-banking analysis.
Languages (8): English, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Tamil and Chinese across the full study. Not every language was tested in every market or on every route.
AI test routes (11): ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Search, Copilot, Meta AI, Grok, Qwen, DeepSeek and Kimi.
Study timeframe: A point-in-time snapshot of tested AI answers from August to September 2026. Results may change as services, search and public evidence change.

Hong Kong, Oct 20, 2026 - Beijing Yunji Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yunji Technology” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 2670.HK) published a voluntary announcement recently. Ms. Zhi Tao, chairwoman of the Board, executive Director and president of the Company, and Mr. Li Quanyin, executive Director and chief executive officer of the Company, have each voluntarily undertaken to extend the lock-up period applicable to the Shares directly held by them to October 15, 2027. Against intensifying industry competition, market focus increasingly shifts toward companies with long-term sustainability. The decision of core management to extend the lock-up voluntarily at the expiry date fully demonstrates their confidence in the Group’s long-term growth prospects and their commitment to growing alongside the Group.
Concurrently with the lock-up undertakings, Yunji Technology also voluntarily disclosed business progress during the nine months ended September 30, 2026: the Group’s robot operations continued to grow steadily, with the products covering over 45,000 hotels on a cumulative basis. The average daily number of concurrently online robots increased by approximately 20% to 25% year-on-year, while the number of tasks completed during the period rose by approximately 25% to 30%. The newly launched noodle-cooking robot has been included in the new-opening procurement list of a major hotel group customer, extending in-stay services into dining. At the same time, as a supplier of core mobility technology and modules, Yunji Technology is extending its reach into healthcare, manufacturing and property services through ecosystem partners’ products. Deliveries are underway on the Group’s 1,000-robot order under the cooperation with Ye Niao. Meanwhile, the Runyi project involves an order for 100 robots, with deployment across multiple hospitals now underway.
As the robot network expands, penetration of the HDOS AI agent assistant into hotels’ daily operations has further deepened. In the first nine months of 2026, total HDOS subscribers exceeded 5,000, up approximately 230% year-on-year, while the number of paying subscribers increased by approximately 220%. The announcement states these day-to-day improvements in service efficiency and quality support further integration of HDOS into hotels’ workflows, with subscriptions and renewals generating recurring service revenue for the Group.
In the AI agent ecosystem, the related services cover approximately 400 apartment properties, with the busiest property handling approximately 650 orders per day. Recently, Yunji Technology has signed strategic cooperation agreements with Taobao Instant Commerce and Meituan to connect platform orders to its robot delivery network, rapidly expanding its service coverage.
In overseas markets, Yunji Technology continues to expand the distributor network and has recently entered Central Asia and Norway. It expects to sign robot sales orders with distributors in Norway, Greece, Germany and France within the next month, broadening the European sales network.
By voluntarily extending the lock-up period, the core managements have closely aligned the interests of management with the Company’s long-term operating performance. Together with the steady expansion of the multiple business lines, Yunji Technology’s commercial closed loop continues to improve. Building on the mobile robotics technology accumulated in hotel scenarios, the Group keeps extending the boundaries of the services and unlocking the potential of AI agents. In the future, it is well positioned to further consolidate the core competitive strengths and open up room for long-term growth.

As the most-visited country in Africa and the next host of the FIFA World Cup, Morocco is in the midst of an unprecedented era of infrastructure and hospitality development, setting a timely stage for Morocco Showcase to highlight the country’s maturation as a prime destination for global capital investment.
Transactions and signings surge
Since 2025, Casablanca-listed owner-operator Risma has completed two major acquisitions (the Tangier Corniche plot and the purchase of CMG – owner of Radisson Blu Marrakech Carré Eden and the adjoining mall) valued at $67 million, and the $46 million sale of Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche to Pickalbatros. In April, it strengthened its partnership with Accor for the renovation and repositioning of hotels and the launch of the Tangier Corniche development.
Expert-led hospitality sessions at Showcase Morocco will include:
Hotel performance: occupancy, ADR and RevPAR in Morocco's key cities against global peers, and the demand effect of mega-events set against Morocco's trajectory to 2030.
How local and regional operators are scaling alongside the expansion of international brands.
How boutique, high-end luxury and eco-tourism brands are entering the market, including founder economics, fee structures and European boutique operators moving into Morocco.
Capital and real estate
A capital, product and wealth stream will cover how Moroccan family offices are moving from direct development into co-investment and fund structures, and what turns diaspora interest into committed capital. Mixed-use leaders will set out what a viable precinct needs, including critical size, equity ticket, investor profile and location. The industrial, commercial and alternatives streams will cover logistics demand along the Tangier Med corridor, foreign investment in special economic zones, and office and retail yields.
The closing plenary asks Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech and Rabat to pitch directly to capital on land availability and pricing, the asset classes that suit each city, and where the early-mover window is still open.
