KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) — AmBank Group will offer temporary deferment or restructuring of instalment repayments for its individual and SME customers in the wake of the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). “This is a trying time for everyone in Malaysia, and globally as well. As a caring bank, AmBank is sympathetic towards the plight of our customers, particularly individuals and SMEs, who are affected by the 2019-nCoV. AmBank is committed in assisting them during this trying time,” said Dato’ Sulaiman Mohd Tahir, Group Chief Executive Officer, AmBank Group. Individual and SME customers who are affected by the 2019-nCoV may approach AmBank, which will then evaluate and consider offering temporary deferment or restructuring of instalment repayments to ease the burden of its customers, who are more susceptible to the adverse impact arising from the 2019-nCoV. In addition to this, AmMetLife and AmMetLife Takaful have introduced supportive financial relief to assist policy owners. Both insurance companies will cover hospital admission due to 2019-nCoV, which the Ministry of Health currently requires treatment to be undertaken at designated government hospitals. AmBank would also like to advise its customers to take the necessary precautions, remain vigilant at all times and be guided by the procedures from the Ministry of Health.
