While maintaining priority of products and services which are beneficial and convenient for our customers, AYA Bank remains vigilant and focused on supporting our internal customers, “Our employees”.

Since the prices of commodities have been rising at their fastest pace in recent months, the pressure of the cost-of-living crisis and resulting financial stress is a physical and emotional impact on our employees. The Senior Management of the Bank have decided to provide ‘Cost of Living Support’ to help our employees cope with unexpected hardships that place undue financial stress on them and their families.

Due to this kind of initiative, it is heartwarming to see our employees who will have some peace of mind on their cost-of-living burden and improved well-being. We are proud to give something back to our AYA family members.

Words from Staff about ‘Cost of Living Support’

“I’ve been working at AYA Bank as a non-clerical staff for eight years. With ‘Cost of Living Support’ provided by the Bank on top of salary, I can offset the rising price of essential living costs in the current climate. Besides, being a mother, I am quite relief for the expenses for my little girl. Most of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Founder and Chairman and Senior Management for their consideration for all staff. ”

On 24th September 2022, AYA Bank rolled out COVID-19 booster vaccination campaign for all staff in Yangon to help our people maintain strong protection from coronavirus disease. The vaccination arrangements were conducted at our head offices, ROWE office in Kyauktadar Township and River View office in Ahlone Township.

As part of the steps we have taken to decrease risk of coronavirus infection, we offered booster shot to all staff who were fully vaccinated for more than six months. AYA Bank further arranged booster shot in the following week for staff who missed the day to ensure the full coverage of our vaccination campaign. The campaign has been organized with the support of SML Medical and Diagnostics Center and more than 1700 staff received their booster dose.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, AYA Bank follows the guidelines of Ministry of Health and place preventive measures at workplace for both offices and branches. Maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for all our staff and customers is our top priority. Vaccination campaign is a critical step in the fight to COVID-19 and our heartfelt thanks to everyone working together to make this happen.

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, ‘Wear a Mask Campaign’ was organized on 28th January 2022 at AYA Bank’s Head Office in Kyauktadar Township, and near Sule Pagoda in support of COVID-19 protection measures, especially when a new subtype of the Omicron Coronavirus variant is spreading.
