Asian Banking School Sdn Bhd

Asian Banking School Sdn Bhd is a specialised banking and finance training provider registered with HRD Corp Malaysia. With over 200,000 professionals trained across 80+ financial institutions, they deliver programmes in sustainable finance, compliance, credit analysis, and capital markets. All programmes are HRD Corp claimable. Banks and financial institutions in Kuala Lumpur can find other HRD Corp training providers in Kuala Lumpur in the ETRIS directory.
