KUALA LUMPUR: UOB Malaysia has extended a RM600 million (US$150 million) sustainability-linked loan (SLL) to RHB Banking Group.
In a statement, UOB Malaysia said the three-year facility will be used for general corporate and long-term funding needs.
UOB Malaysia's country head of wholesale banking, Andy Cheah, said the facility also reflects its broader commitment as a regional bank to steer capital towards responsible projects and enable credible transition pathways.
"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," said
As Malaysia moves toward a greener economy, he said UOB Malaysia aim to contribute by helping raise sustainability standards across the industry and by supporting the country’s overall green agenda.
The SLL structure links the facility’s terms to RHB’s performance against specified sustainability indicators, embedding accountability within the group’s funding strategy.
RHB Banking Group chief sustainability officer Angus Salim said the facility reinforces its 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.
As of December 2025, RHB's cumulative Sustainable Financial Services mobilisation exceeded RM59 billion, representing close to 66 per cent of its 2027 target of RM90 billion. - Bernama
