Benjamin Tan, Head of Commercial Banking at CIMB Singapore, noted Singapore’s high number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in launching the current account. SMEs currently make up 99% of all enterprises in Singapore and employ 71% of Singapore’s workforce.

“In today’s volatile macroeconomic environment, we have seen higher business costs, rising operational costs and challenges in digital adoption, which need to be addressed in order for SMEs to leverage the opportunities in the digitised economy in Singapore and beyond,” Tan said. 

“In the last two years, revenue contribution from our SME products and services have more than tripled. The relationship we cultivated with our business clients was reinforced during the pandemic as we weathered unprecedented challenges together, and this has allowed us to empathise and deeply understand their needs,” he added, saying that the CIMB BusinessGo current account exemplifies CIMB’s promise to make banking simpler and more fulfilling.
