About CIMB
CIMB Group is Malaysia's second largest financial services provider which is listed on Bursa Malaysia through Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings Berhad (BCHB). In 2004, CIMB began the process of creating a strong and competitive universal bank anchored by Commerce International Merchant Bankers (CIMB), the region's largest investment bank.
In just 2 years, CIMB transformed itself from Malaysia's no. 1 investment bank into a regional universal banking group. CIMB Group has grown from a staff strength of 1,000 in Malaysia to 24,170 in 12 countries while our market capitalisation has increased from RM6.3 billion to RM19.5 billion. The Group's total assets grew from RM14.7 billion to RM155 billion with a further RM18 billion being third party funds under management.
CIMB believes that customers want comprehensive and seamless service which meets the entire spectrum of their financial needs. Hence CIMB Group now has a full range of financial products and services, both conventional and Islamic, enabling us to serve everyone. Our customers come from all walks of life in Malaysia as well as throughout the region - large regional corporations, domestic listed companies, entrepreneurial start-ups, high-net worth individuals, pensioners and children.
CIMB connects to our customers through 3 brand entities - CIMB (investment bank), CIMB Bank (consumer bank) and CIMB Islamic (which operates as comprehensive parallel bank within the Group). CIMB's new tagline "Forward Banking" conveys the business philosophy and brand promise of their new universal bank to create value for their customers through forward thinking.
