AEON Bank (M) Berhad (“AEON Bank” or “the bank”), Malaysia’s first Islamic Digital Bank, continues its nationwide roadshow in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, coinciding with the blessed weekend of Aidiladha. The event was officiated today by Member of the Kelantan State Executive Council and Chairman of Investment, Industrial, Human Resource, Trade and Entrepreneurial Committee, YB Major (Rtd) Dato' Haji Md. Anizam Bin Ab. Rahman, representing the office of the Chief Minister of Kelantan, YAB Dato' Panglima Perang Ustaz Dato' Haji Mohd Nassuruddin Bin Haji Daud; Chief Executive Officer of AEON Bank (M) Berhad, YM Raja Teh Maimunah, and Chairman of the Shariah Committee of AEON Bank (M) Berhad, Tuan Haji Wan Rumaizi Wan Husin.
The four-day on-ground public activation, taking place at AEON Mall Kota Bharu from 13 until 16 June 2024 is expected to draw enthusiastic AEON members and Kelantanese customers, including those that travelled from neighbouring states of Terengganu and Pahang.
"AEON Bank is part of the AEON Group, one of Malaysia's most recognisable household brands. It has been part of Malaysian consumers' daily lives for over forty years. AEON Mall Kota Bharu was established in 2016 and we have been serving the people of Kelantan since then. We are here today to present our Islamic digital banking services to our loyal retail customers and the entrepreneurial and culturally exuberant people of Kelantan. Being a digital bank enables us to reach out to the wider population as customers need not go to a physical branch to set up an account and perform financial transactions," said Raja Teh Maimunah, CEO of AEON Bank (M) Berhad.
"As a gesture of appreciation to roadshow sign-ups, new customers are rewarded with AEON Bank special merchandise, on top of exclusive benefits, such as a sign-up bonus of 3,000 AEON Points and 3x AEON Points for transactions using the AEON Bank x Visa Debit Card-i from now until 31 August 2024," added Raja Teh.
AEON Bank’s nationwide roadshow in Kelantan also underscores the strategic support from the state government in empowering the local community to actively participate in and benefit from the developing digital economy of the state and the nation.
Speaking at the event on 14 June 2024, YB Major (Rtd) Dato' Haji Md. Anizam Bin Ab. Rahman, Member of the Kelantan State Executive Council and Chairman of Investment, Industrial, Human Resource, Trade and Entrepreneurial Committee, representing the office of the Chief Minister of Kelantan said, “We extend our heartfelt appreciation to AEON Bank for bringing the roadshow to Kota Bharu, as droves of Kelantanese balik kampung to their hometown for Aildiladha. As the State Government of Kelantan, we are committed to implementing Shariah-compliant policies in our administration and economy, including within the banking and financial sectors, to encourage financial institutions in offering Shariah-compliant products. Thus, today’s event is significant towards accelerating Kelantan's digital economy. The integration between Shariah financial principles and digital banking will create greater value for Kelantanese in their daily lives and banking needs, especially for the entrepreneurs and the rakyat.”
The launch was hosted by celebrity emcee, Nana Mahazan, while the on-ground activation featured KOLs such as Mimie Haris and BudokKelate, bringing fun and family-friendly activities to life including colouring contests, cooking demonstration and the financial literacy engagement organised in collaboration between AEON Bank and PayNet.
