(AmBank) has stepped up its ongoing efforts in providing relief to customers, both individuals and SMEs who are affected by the movement control order (MCO). In a statement, AmBank said its efforts were in line with the Government’s targeted repayment assistance initiative, which was announced under the Pemerkasa Plus financial aid package. Group chief executive officer Datuk Sulaiman Mohd Tahir said AmBank would continue to assist customers through the repayment assistance packages and the rescheduling and restructuring plans that meet their respective needs. “To this end, as at March 31, we have extended approximately RM15.2bil in repayment assistance for loans and financing for all customer segments and have approved close to 100% of these applications. We aim to extend this service further, up to Dec 31 and are also conscious of the need to review the potential of granting further extensions, if need be, in light of MCO 3.0,” he said.
