If you are a small and medium enterprise (SMEs) that is struggling to stay afloat, CIMB has introduced a new platform to guide you to the right financing facility to help your business during this pandemic.
CIMB is the First Commercial Bank in Malaysia that integrates a chatbot called EVA to support SME owners in COVID-19 relief schemes and other financing products available in Malaysia
EVA has been refined to ensure that you are guided towards the right financing facility which is catered for you and your business needs. You can ask EVA all the relevant questions regarding the financial assistance you need, and the answers you get will be narrowed down specifically, for you.
Tired of waiting forever for your questions to be answered? With EVA, you won’t have to worry about that anymore. Through EVA, you will have a better experience in getting answers about financing facilities and be guided on the next course of action without having to wait on the line or search through the website. Ask EVA any questions you may have regarding the help you need for your business, and you’ll get an immediate response.
If you are interested or have further queries, you can leave your contact and a relationship manager will be in touch with you within 2 working days.
Good news, you can check your financing eligibility through EVA. The “Eligibility Check” feature is able to efficiently digitalise the long process of SMEs talking to a sales representative to understand which financial relief or financing is suitable for your current business situation.
EVA is here to help you stay safe and make an informed decision without having to visit a branch during these precarious times. Should you be interested, you can also apply for the financing of your choice directly online.
EVA is available to answer your questions 24/7, so you won’t have to worry about reaching out after business hours. This will provide first-hand support for SMEs and acts as an online directory, easing any queries projected to be handled instantly. You can also skip the hassle of having to go to the bank in person.
