CIMB Bank, one of ASEAN’s leading banking groups and Malaysia’s second-largest financial services provider, has chosen ACI Worldwide’s payment solution to converge all account-to-account transactions onto a single future-proof payments platform. This new ISO 20022-native compliant platform will serve as the foundation for CIMB Group’s regional payments platform, starting from its headquarters in Malaysia. The initiative aims to reduce the complexity of managing siloed legacy systems.
The unified solution will empower CIMB Bank with richer data exchange, straight-through processing, and insights that enhance interoperability, security, and compliance. This enterprise-wide initiative is a cornerstone of CIMB’s Forward30 Strategy, designed to future-proof operations and accelerate digital convergence. Ros Aziah, Group Chief Technology Officer at CIMB Bank, stated that this positions CIMB at the forefront of next-generation banking.
CIMB Bank and ACI Worldwide were recently recognized at The Asian Banker (TAB) Global Financial Technology Innovation Awards 2025 for 'Best Corporate Banking and Payment Technology Initiative in Asia Pacific.' This award highlights the technological differentiation and customer-centric approach demonstrated by their partnership, which enhances security, scalability, and performance.
