For the public launch campaign, AEON Bank customers that activate their account will be entitled to a sign-up bonus of 3,000 AEON Points and 3X AEON Points with transactions using the AEON Bank x Visa Debit Card-i, on top of the profit rate of 3.88% per annum. Customers who are part of the AEON Points Programme will automatically have their membership linked with the AEON Bank app, enabling them to enjoy extra benefits and rewards when making payments at AEON Group’s outlets and merchants including AEON Mall, AEON Supermarket, AEON Wellness, La Boheme Bakery, AEON Fantasy, and more; adding another layer of value and convenience for customers via the larger and comprehensive AEON ecosystem. The collected AEON points can then be converted to cash that will be credited in the customer’s AEON Bank (M) account.
The public launch campaign at AEON Mall Shah Alam’s Concourse Area from 23 May 2024 until 2 June 2024 is expected to engage more than 10,000 AEON Members and consumers via the public on-ground activation. The excitement will continue with nationwide roadshows in Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Melaka, and Sarawak from June till November 2024.
