“EBB has registered 7.1 million transaction worth RM635mil in value since the introduction in early 2012. On a daily basis, it is about 45,000 transaction worth RM4mil,” CEO Datuk Adinan Maning said after the launch of BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon yesterday.

Also present at the launch were Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan, BSN chairman Tan Sri Abu Bakar Abdullah and Perbadanan Putrajaya president Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat.

Adinan said the community bank has targeted to have a total of 5,000 EBB by year-end.

The EBB programme was launched in January 2012 with agents offering services like deposits, cash withdrawal, bill payments and top up for prepaid phones.

In addition, Ahmad said BSN’s EBB programme had enabled under served area in the absence of a bank to get banking services.

He said so far BSN had been aggressive on this approach while Malayan Banking Bhd had partnered Pos Malaysia and uses the latter offices to deliver its shared banking services.

BSN, which is the title sponsor for the marathon, is targeting 12,000 runners this year.

“We realised that sports sponsorship is an avenue to strengthen our brand image,” he said.

BSN PNM has attracted more than 10,000 runners every year and set to increase to 12,000 this year,” Abu Bakar said in his speech earlier.

In addition, he said BSN had designed a special 10km CSR run for other corporate entities to support a fund raising initiative.

“For this year, we have IJN Foundation on board as a beneficiary for the fund raising,” Abu Bakar said.

Ahmad also urged other financial institutions to make an example of BSN’s support towards sponsoring sporting event and making it part of organisations’ annual corporate responsibility programme.
