Kuala Lumpur: CIMB Bank Berhad (“CIMB Bank”) and CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad (“CIMB Islamic”) have upped the ante on their affluent customer segment, Preferred, by launching their regional benefits ASEAN-wide. Called ‘Regional CIMB Preferred’, the expanded proposition enables CIMB’s affluent customers to enjoy enhanced banking convenience and privileges across six countries in ASEAN, regardless of where their domiciled account is.

 

Benefits of the Regional CIMB Preferred include seamless cross-border account opening in any country for an account in a different destination country, free fund transfers, lower forex rates and priority banking service at 120 CIMB Preferred Centres and 1,100 CIMB branches in Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
