2020 has become the year of unexpected, but not unwelcome banana encounters.

Yoma Bank’s digital mascot has officially been updated to be COVID-ready thanks to @thuya_ko_ko_lwin The Pyi Tang Htaung is a beloved toy in Myanmar (akin to a weeble wobble in other places). It represents resilience - “when you throw them, they always bounce back up.” An apt analogy, and aspiration, for a financial institution. Tag anyone I missed!
