The new Bintulu branch is expected to enhance MBSB Bank’s presence, positioning it at the heart of the town’s rapidly evolving commercial and residential landscape.
This relocation of the Bintulu branch is a key component of MBSB Bank’s broader strategy to strengthen its service delivery across “Bumi Kenyalang,” where the Bank has already established a strong presence through three branches in Kuching, Miri, and Sibu. By transitioning to the SK One Garden City hub, the bank is now better positioned to offer a seamless and sophisticated Shariah-compliant banking experience to its existing clientele, while simultaneously expanding its reach within one of the state’s most critical economic zones.

He emphasized that MBSB Bank is proud to be part of Bintulu’s growth as an emerging green energy hub, while continuing to provide Shariah-compliant banking solutions that empower local businesses and the community as the state strives towards sustainable economic growth.
“Bintulu is widely recognised as one of Malaysia’s key energy and industrial hubs, as well as an important economic corridor for Sarawak. The opening of this branch reflects MBSB Bank’s strong commitment to strengthening its presence in the “Bumi Kenyalang,” he said.
Beyond industrial support, MBSB Bank is dedicated to nurturing the local economic ecosystem by empowering Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and the wider community. The Bank provides tailored financing and advisory services to support local
entrepreneurs in the retail and service sectors in capitalizing on the town’s growing population and ongoing infrastructure development.
By delivering accessible banking solutions to both the industrial workforce and civil servants, the bank aims to ensure long-term financial inclusion and sustainable economic well-being for the people of Bintulu.
“Through this branch, MBSB Bank aims to deliver progressive and accessible Shariahcompliant banking services to better serve the community. The Bank remains committed to supporting entrepreneurs, SMEs, and business owners and communities from all walks of life by providing banking solutions that support both personal and business growth, helping customers achieve their aspirations and contribute to a stronger local economy,” Dato’ Wan Kamaruzaman said.
