PETALING JAYA: Affin Bank Bhd had declared an interim dividend of RM100.22mil and also proposed a special dividend that amounts to RM400.21mil.

“With the successful completion of our Affin Hwang Asset Management Bhd deal, we would like to reward our valuable shareholders with a special dividend of 18.09 sen per share and an interim dividend of 4.53 sen per share,” Affin Bank’s president and group CEO Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah said.
