UOB Malaysia provides Sustainability-link Loan to RHB

US$150 million facility strengthens RHB’s transition financing

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 10 February 2026 – UOB Malaysia has extended a US$150 million (or around RM600 million¹) Sustainability-linked Loan (SLL) to RHB Banking Group (RHB or the Group), enhancing RHB’s financial flexibility to advance its sustainability commitments and support transition financing.

The three-year facility will be used for general corporate and long-term funding needs. It further strengthens the Group’s long-term funding profile while enabling the Group to embed sustainability considerations across its operations, and continue supporting customers, businesses and communities as they progress along their transition pathways.

Mr Andy Cheah, Country Head of Wholesale Banking, UOB Malaysia, said, “UOB Malaysia is committed to advancing the growth of sustainable finance and working alongside like-minded partners who share this purpose. Sustainability has always been central to our strategy, and we are delighted to collaborate with RHB on this deal.

“This facility also reflects our broader commitment as a regional bank to steer capital towards responsible projects and enable credible transition pathways. As Malaysia moves toward a greener economy, we aim to contribute by helping raise sustainability standards across the industry and by supporting the country’s overall green agenda.”

Mr Angus Salim, Chief Sustainability Officer, RHB Banking Group, said, “This collaboration comes at a time when Malaysian banks are taking more decisive steps to align capital with the country’s transition goals, supported by stronger accountability and clearer sustainability standards.

“Aligned with our PROGRESS27 corporate strategy to mobilise RM90 billion in Sustainable Financial Services by 2027, and supported by the rollout of our Sustainable and Transition Finance Framework, this facility reinforces our commitment to supporting clients as they advance along their transition pathways while strengthening the role of sustainable finance in enabling resilient, long-term economic growth.”

The SLL structure links the facility’s terms to RHB’s performance against specified sustainability indicators, embedding accountability within the Group’s funding strategy. As at December 2025, the Group’s cumulative Sustainable Financial Services mobilisation exceeded RM59 billion, representing close to 66 per cent of its 2027 target.
