Personal Financing-i and Term Deposit-i
Realising that many Malaysians struggle in managing their financial needs, while others would like to optimise their fund to reach a financial target, AEON Bank has developed two Personal Banking products for its customers – Personal Financing-i and Term Deposit-i.
Personal Financing-i (PF-i) can be a much needed support for those that wish to close the cash flow gap.
For example, a customer named Sofia will be receiving her bonus next month, but the deposit for her kitchen renovation needs to be paid within this week.
After careful consideration, she opted to apply for the PF-i, as it offers a collateral free, Shariah-complient financing facility of up to RM50,000, with flexible repayment tenure ranging between three to 48 months.
She is also keen on the fully online application process for PF-i which can be done via the AEON Bank mobile app, without the hassle of physical paperwork or going to a bank counter.
Meanwhile, for customers that would like to substantially grow their savings, Term Deposit-i (TD-i) makes it possible to earn profit on their deposits over a fixed term of various tenure options, with up to 3.08% profit rate p.a.
Staying on track with AEON Bank's Savings Pot
Budget-minded customers know that they should be putting money aside for emergencies and future financial aspirations.
It could also be intended for their dream home and year end vacation. AEON Bank's Savings Pot makes it easy to stay on track, while earning rewarding profits.
Customers just need to create a Savings Pot, then transfer any amount from their Savings Account-i to the Savings Pot and easily earn 3.00% p.a. profit rate, with the flexibility to deposit more or withdraw the fund anytime via the app itself.
If you are curious about how digital banking can be experienced differently, this anniversary month is the time to optimise on what AEON Bank has to offer.
From real cashback to a digital-first banking convenience, kickstart this journey towards easy digital banking, mindful spending and growing your savings.

Nvidia, AMD to pay US 15% of China AI chip sales
(FILES) People attend a Nvidia production preview exhibition in Taipei on May 21, 2025. Chinese authorities summoned US technology giant Nvidia on July 31, 2025 to discuss "serious security issues" discovered involving its chips, the country's top internet regulator said. (Photo by I-HWA CHENG / AFP) New York: Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) have agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales to the US government in a deal to secure export licences, an unusual arrangement that may unnerve both US companies and Beijing. Nvidia plans to share 15% of the revenue from sales of its H20 AI accelerator in China, according to a person familiar with the matter. AMD will deliver the same share from MI308 revenues, the person added, asking for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The arrangement reflects US President Donald Trump's consistent effort to engineer a financial payout for America in return for concessions on trade. His administration has shown a willingness to relax trade conditions like tariffs in return for giant investments in the United States – as with Apple Inc's pledge to spend US$600bil on domestic manufacturing. But such a narrow, select export tax has little precedent in modern corporate history. Beijing, which has grown increasingly hostile to the idea of Chinese firms deploying the H20, is unlikely to warm to the idea of a chip tax. Yuyuantantian, a social media account affiliated with state-run China Central Television that regularly signals Beijing's thinking about trade, on Sunday slammed the chip's supposed security vulnerabilities and inefficiency. 'This seeming quid pro quo is unprecedented from an export control perspective. The arrangement risks invalidating the national security rationale for US export controls,' said Jacob Feldgoise, a researcher at the Washington-based Centre for Security and Emerging Technology. It 'will likely undermine the US' position when negotiating with allies to implement complementary controls,' he added. 'Allies may not believe US policymakers if they are willing to trade away those same national security concerns for economic concessions – either from US companies or foreign governments.' A Nvidia spokesperson said the company follows US export rules, adding that while it hasn't shipped H20 chips to China for months, it hopes the rules will allow US companies to compete in China. AMD didn't respond to a request for comment. The Financial Times earlier reported the development. It followed a separate report from the same outlet that the Commerce Department had begun issuing H20 licences last week, days after Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang met with Trump. Huang has lobbied long and hard for the lifting of restrictions, arguing that walling China off will only slow the spread of American technology and encourage local rivals such as Huawei Technologies Co. 'It's a strategic bargaining chip' that tightens Washington's grip on a critical tech sphere during trade negotiations with China, said Hebe Chen, an analyst with Vantage Markets in Melbourne. 'Over time, this hurdle for chips entering China will likely deter Nvidia and AMD from deeper expansion in the world's largest chip-importing market, while giving local Chinese producers a clear edge to capture market share and accelerate domestic semiconductor innovation,' Chen said If Washington goes ahead with the tax, it should funnel some capital to the United States – but not an enormous amount in relative terms. Both Nvidia and AMD have said it'll take time to ramp back up production of their China-specific products – even if orders return to previous levels, which is uncertain. Nvidia raked in US$4.6bil of revenue from the H20 in its quarter ended April 27 – days after new restrictions on shipping the AI accelerator to China were imposed. It said it had been unable to ship US$2.5bil of H20 China revenue in that period because of the new rules. That implies it would have gotten more than US$7bil in H20 sales to China during the period. If it can return to that level, the US government will stand to get about US$1bil a quarter from its deal. AMD could generate US$3bil to US$5bil of revenue this year if restrictions were lifted, Morgan Stanley estimates. Chinese alternatives such as Huawei's Ascend chips now account for 20% to 30% of domestic demand, it reckoned. 'The US government clearly needs the money given its deficits and eagerness to collect tariffs,' said Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Union Bancaire Privee in Singapore. 'But the complication is China's accusations about H20 chips containing backdoors, which could be a negotiation tactic to highlight that the country is not that 'hard up' for US chips,' Ling added. — Bloomberg

Backbencher calls for lifting of ban on e-hailing rides to S'pore
This 2022 picture shows taxis waiting for Singapore-bound passengers at Larkin Sentral, Johor Bahru. They are among 200 licensed to provide such services. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : A backbencher has called on the government to hold talks with Singapore on lifting the ban on e-hailing rides to the island state from Johor Bahru. Jimmy Puah (PH-Tebrau) said the decision to ban such rides was unfortunate and hurt frequent commuters, stating that as Johoreans, many like him preferred to fly out from Changi airport when travelling overseas. He said a typical ride from Johor Bahru to Changi would take about an hour, provided the Causeway was clear. Puah said given the gravity of the situation, the transport and foreign ministers must urgently meet their Singapore counterparts to negotiate and at least allow locals or permanent residents to take e-hailing rides into the republic. Jimmy Puah. He said recent incidents where Malaysians were stopped by Singapore authorities for dropping off passengers at Changi Airport had caused confusion and hardship. Some drivers also had their vehicles seized and were now being probed by the authorities there. 'Johor and Singapore have long enjoyed close, strategic ties, yet issues like this hinder the progress that the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone is meant to bring. 'If its goal is to bring us closer, we must remove such barriers,' he told the Dewan Rakyat when debating the 13th Malaysia Plan. He also proposed that certain conditions be set to allow these e-hailing rides to enter Singapore. Among them were restricting drop-offs to airports and ferry terminals and limiting them to Malaysians or foreign residents in Malaysia. On Aug 3, Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) said there were no plans to fully allow cross-border e-hailing. This was despite the idea being raised during an Aug 1 meeting between Singapore's acting transport minister Jeffrey Siow and Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi. LTA said it wanted to protect the livelihoods of existing drivers and curb unauthorised services. For now, cross-border taxi trips remain under the Cross-Border Taxi Scheme, which limits services to 200 licensed cabs from each side, operating from designated pick-up points in each country. Puah went on to say that smoother cross-border travel was vital for both people and trade. He also noted that the JB-Singapore RTS is due to open at the end of 2026, carrying tens of thousands of passengers per hour and easing Causeway congestion. He suggested building two new road links from the RTS station, one towards Jalan Skudai to move passengers north and west, and another towards Jalan Tebrau to channel traffic eastwards out of Johor Bahru. He said these routes would help prevent thousands of e-hailing cars and other vehicles from clogging city streets once the RTS begins operations.
