Public Bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Tay Ah Lek said the collaboration will see Malaysian SMEs getting the best from both the finance and technology areas. “We believe that by combining our financial expertise with Maxis’ technological prowess, we can make a meaningful impact on the digital transformation of Malaysian SMEs, enabling them to thrive and contribute to the nation’s economic growth.
Together, Public Bank and Maxis are dedicated to supporting business on their path to success, leveraging the best of banking and technology,” Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Tay said.
“We are pleased to have a like-minded partner in Public Bank that shares our commitment to support SMEs. As an integrated telco, Maxis Business is the trusted partner for enterprises of all sizes. We want to make it easy for SMEs to digitalise, so they can focus on growing their business. Through this collaboration, we look forward to together drive the nation’s SME digital transformation,” said Goh Seow Eng, Chief Executive Officer of Maxis.
Proposals to engage with the SMEs include on-ground and online activities including activities such as awareness talks across Public Bank’s branch network.
Meanwhile, Maxis Business will come on board as the official telco and digital partner of Public Bank’s PB enterprise Digital SME Assist Programme.
