Benjamin Tan, Head of Commercial Banking at CIMB Singapore, said: "Against the backdrop of today's volatile macroeconomic environment, investing in fixed deposits gives businesses assurance on the guaranteed return of an investment that is not affected by market fluctuations."
"We constantly put ourselves in our customers' shoes to deeply understand their challenges including upcoming obstacles, and enhance our products and services to meet their evolving needs. Given the anticipated market fluctuations, this fixed deposit account serves more than a repository for business' operating cashflows, it provides an opportunity for idle funds to grow and over time, defray the rising costs of doing business."
Our commitment to customer-centricity is bearing fruit. Last year, our Commercial Banking's profit before tax grew by more than 60% on a year-on-year basis. This reflects that we are on the right path, and we will continue to put customers at the heart of what we do," Benjamin added.
