Banks Announces Special Relief Facility (SRF) to Help SMEs Affected by COVID-19 Outbreak

With the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Malaysia, majority of banks in Malaysia are offering a special financing of up to RM1 million to assist SMEs affected by the coronavirus under the Special Relief Facility (SRF). This move is helpful in hindsight due to the recent partial lockdown that the nation has implemented that will undoubtedly cause a slowdown in business and productivity.

The SRF financing period is for 5 years with a competitive profit rate of 3.75% per annum and entails no collateral. The moratorium would enable bank customers to manage their cash flow while guaranteeing the continuity of their business operations.

Malaysian SMEs that are affected by the outbreak can take advantage of the relief measures presented by the banks to ensure more safety nets against the poor economy that results from COVID-19’s spread.
