KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 (Bernama) — CIMB Foundation (“CIMB” or “the Bank”) has pledged RM50 million towards implementing education initiatives across the ASEAN region over the next five years (2026- 2030), reinforcing its purpose of advancing customers and society. This commitment includes supporting youths with scholarships and capacity-building programmes, enabling underprivileged students to access quality education and driving financial literacy especially among the low-income communities.

With our largest commitment thus far in education, we are deeply committed to empowering the next generation of ASEAN leaders through widening the access to quality education.
