As part of one of Malaysia’s most recognised retail household brands, we aim to provide accessible, inclusive, and Shariah-compliant digital banking solutions to our AEON Group of customers as well as to all Malaysians. It is our intent to empower our communities with access to digital
financial services which are simplified, safe and secure,” said Raja Teh Maimunah, Chief Executive Officer of AEON Bank.
The group said it plans for a phased rollout of its new App, beginning with an exclusive beta testing phase with the AEON Group of employees. By initially offering access to a select group of beta testers, we aim to collaboratively finetune the App to ensure it meets the expectations of our wider user base upon full release,” explains Raja Teh Maimunah.
