The affected borrowers are only required to select the preferred option and approval will be automatically provided, subject to meeting the criteria highlighted.
Alongside this, individual customers who have experienced any decline in income are also able to benefit from reduced monthly instalment payments, and all other affected borrowers can also reach out to the bank to consider restructuring and rescheduling financing solutions.
The latest repayment relief assistance programme is aimed at providing continued help to individual and B40 borrowers, microenterprises and other affected borrowers as well as expanding help to alleviate the cash flow burdens of SMEs that are unable to operate during MCO 3.0.
Dato’ Abdul Rahman Ahmad, Group Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Group said, “CIMB would like to reassure our customers that we remain committed to provide support during this challenging period. The expanded financial relief assistance offered to our affected customers is to help them stay resilient given the prolonged challenges. We have ensured a convenient and simple process for our customers to choose a payment relief programme, suited to them."
CIMB urges any customers impacted by the pandemic in any way to reach out to the bank. Impacted customers are able to select the preferred relief programme with minimal documentation required with reassurance that their Customers’ CCRIS (“Central Credit Reference Information System”) status will not be affected.
As of end-May, CIMB has processed around 165,000 financial relief applications for individual and business borrowers in Malaysia, amounting to more than RM22 billion, with an approval rate of virtually 100%.
