Public Bank Berhad and Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd (Perodua) signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) to provide financing facilities to Perodua authorized dealers to extend wholesome financial products and services.
Present at the ceremony on 25 May 2023 at Menara Public Bank were Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Tay Ah Lek, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and Dato’ Chang Kat Kiam, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Public Bank, Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, President and Chief Executive Officer and En. JH Rozman Jaafar, Chief Operating Officer of Perodua, and other Senior Management staff of both companies.
The collaboration with Perodua will enable Public Bank to interface and facilitate digitalization via online submission of hire purchase end-financing applications to the Bank including uploading of basic application documents and tracking of application status.
Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Tay Ah Lek in his speech said, “Perodua is also Malaysia’s first and biggest Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) manufacturer. On our part, supporting the growth of the EEV industry is a key pillar of the Bank's climate agenda, where Public Bank had mobilised over RM30 billion in domestic EEV financing by the end of 2022. As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the growth of the EEV industry, Public Bank has increased its EEV lending target from RM25 billion to RM33 billion by 2025.”
He also added, “Thus, there is strong synergistic potential where Public Bank and Perodua can continue to work together, in not only growing our respective business, but also contributing positively toward ESG initiatives for the betterment of our society and the world.”
Public Bank is committed to contribute to the sustainable development of our communities and fuel the nation’s automotive industry and chart stronger progress together in years to come.
Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, this three-pronged deal addresses the need for the current and future Perodua activities.
“I hope this collaboration will further elevate our respective organisations to greater heights,” he said.
