PTPTN And CIMB Islamic Launch RM500,000 Incentive Pool To Encourage Responsible Loan Repayment Among Malaysian Youth

KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) – CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad (“CIMB” or “the Bank”) has formalised a Collaboration Agreement with Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (“PTPTN”) to promote positive financial wellbeing among PTPTN borrowers. This initiative integrates a RM500,000 cash prize pool into CIMB’s Shariah-compliant Daily Unrestricted Investment Account-i (“DURIAN-i”) ecosystem, leveraging the respective strengths of both organisations to encourage responsible financial behaviour and consistent repayment habits.

The partnership bridges the gap between debt obligations and wealth accumulation by incentivising PTPTN borrowers to utilise the DURIAN-i account. By linking loan repayments with a growthoriented investment account that offers exciting rewards, the initiative supports young Malaysians in balancing repayment obligations while taking early steps toward wealth accumulation and a more sustainable financial future.
