CIMB's all-digital bank model in PH set to achieve 500% deposit growth in 2020

MANILA,Philippines,July 24,2020 -- CIMB Bank Philippines foresees 500% increase in deposits by end-year,following a reported 160% surge of average cash-in per customer in the second quarter of 2020.

CIMB's customer acquisition heightened throughout April to June,with significant increase in deposits,allowing the bank to already surpass its 2020 deposit target. Spiking during the country's community quarantine period,CIMB saw growth in savings account openings and personal loan applications.
