CIMB Singapore launches relief scheme for commercial banking clients

All principal and interest on all term loans have been automatically deferred.

CIMB Singapore has launched the CIMB Biz Relief Scheme for its pandemic-hit commercial banking customers, the bank announced in a press release.

The relief scheme will add to the special relief financial programme that the bank will offer in accordance to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s guidelines on SME financing issued on March 31.

Under the new relief scheme, all commercial banking customers will automatically be pre-approved for deferment of both principal and interest on all term loans, regardless of level of security and collaterals.

All trade bills maturing between 1 April 2020 and 30 June 2020 will be extended for up to 180 days.

Further, an additional 90 days will be added to the existing approved tenure for fresh drawings of trade bills covering all new drawings on or before 30 June.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
