About
Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Bhd operates as the Singapore representative office of what is now part of CIMB Group, Malaysia's second-largest financial services provider and a leading ASEAN universal bank. Originally formed through the historic 1999 merger of Bank Bumiputra and Bank of Commerce following the Asian financial crisis, the bank has evolved into a comprehensive financial institution offering consumer banking, investment banking, Islamic banking, asset management, and insurance services. The Singapore operations serve as a strategic regional hub for CIMB Group's ASEAN network, which spans Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. CIMB launched its retail banking services in Singapore in 2009, leveraging the country's position as a major financial center to serve both Malaysian businesses operating in Singapore and local clients seeking access to Malaysian markets. The bank provides cross-border banking solutions, trade finance, and corporate banking services that facilitate business between Malaysia and Singapore, two of Southeast Asia's most important economies. Their presence in Singapore supports the growing economic integration between ASEAN countries and provides crucial financial infrastructure for the vibrant trade and investment flows across the region.
