SINGAPORE, 10 NOVEMBER 2025
CIMB Singapore and Frasers Property have signed a five-year strategic partnership agreement to provide over 2,000 retailers across 12 Frasers Property malls—as well as affiliates and partners of Frasers Property—with access to exclusive financial solutions and preferential rates, strengthening their cash flow and driving synergies.
These include free account setup and complimentary payment terminals for participating retailers; benefits will translate to first-year savings of up to S$7,360 and annual savings of up to S$6,360 thereafter (Annex). CIMB Singapore and Frasers Property aim to achieve a combined savings of close to S$3.7 million for about 500 SMEs within the first two years of the partnership.
First-to-market flexible financing designed for SMEs
The collaboration brings together CIMB Singapore’s suite of innovative SME products with Frasers Property’s retail network, affiliates and partners to offer a one-stop, simplified financial experience:
Together, these solutions empower tenants to streamline operations, manage liquidity more effectively and reinvest in growth, replacing fragmented service models with a seamless, unified approach.
Fostering stronger communities through Silver Social Spaces
Beyond supporting Singapore’s retail ecosystem, CIMB Singapore and Frasers Property are uplifting communities through “Silver Social Spaces”—an ongoing initiative that promotes inclusion and active ageing by engaging seniors through meaningful activities at Frasers Property’s malls.
This Christmas, the organisations will hold a series of festive events, held in collaboration with Lion Befrienders, a social service agency dedicated to supporting seniors through holistic care and community engagement. Supported by staff volunteerism and CIMB Singapore’s sponsorship, the initiative reinforces both organisations’ commitment to fostering social connection, well-being, and a more inclusive society.

Shaping a future-ready retail ecosystem with purpose and social impact
“SMEs are the heartbeat of Singapore’s economy, and supporting their growth is vital to driving innovation and resilience. Through this partnership with Frasers Property, we are using real insights from retail spending to design smarter, more flexible solutions that evolve with our clients. This enables us to offer exclusive preferential benefits to Frasers Property’s retail tenants, many of which are SMEs. This collaboration reflects CIMB Singapore’s commitment to go beyond banking to empower businesses, strengthen communities, and drive sustainable growth,” said Mr Benjamin Tan, Head of Commercial and Transaction Banking, CIMB Singapore.
“At Frasers Property, we are committed to cultivating a vibrant retail ecosystem that supports the long-term success of our tenants. As Singapore’s largest suburban mall owner with a network of over 2,000 tenants, our partnership with CIMB Singapore will deliver greater value to SMEs through tailored financial solutions. Beyond enhancing business resilience, we will also be working together to create positive change through community investment and placemaking initiatives,” said Mr Adrian Tan, Managing Director, Retail, Frasers Property Singapore.
Mr Adrian Tan, Managing Director, Retail, Frasers Property Singapore, delivers the opening remarks on how Frasers Property is strengthening its retail ecosystem by leveraging its suburban mall network to provide SMEs with practical financial solutions and foster inclusive, resilient communities through the partnership with CIMB Singapore.
“Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. With liquidity, it enables us to operate confidently and seize growth opportunities when they arise. By leveraging CIMB Singapore’s financial solutions, such as the CIMB SME Account, we can achieve cost savings. This will allow us to reinvest in our business, explore new initiatives, and stay agile in the face of everyday challenges,” said Ms Saelee Pornjit, Owner of Golden Banana.
“Operating an F&B business means constantly balancing inventory, staffing, and seasonal fluctuations. CIMB Singapore’s flexible financial tools allow us to respond quickly to unexpected expenses and shifts in demand. FlexiPay, for example, gives us the breathing room to align repayments with actual sales. It’s practical, adaptable, and built for the realities of retail. With this flexibility, we can also plan for expansion more confidently for the future,” said Mr S Narresh Babu, Owner of Rollney Singapore.
This partnership marks a step forward in building a stronger, more resilient suburban retail ecosystem. By working together, CIMB Singapore and Frasers Property are expanding SMEs’ access to financial support, fostering growth and reinforcing a shared commitment to vibrant, connected communities.
The partnership will benefit retail tenants across Frasers Property’s portfolio of 12 malls, including Causeway Point, Northpoint City, Tiong Bahru Plaza and Waterway Point.
