“We are honoured to be the financier of the Setia Eco Templer project. This mixed township is one of the prominent and biggest eco-themed projects in the Klang Valley to be launched this year, and we are privileged to be part of its future success and development,” said AmBank chief executive officer Datuk Sulaiman Mohd Tahir.
“Home buyers interested in purchasing units at Setia Eco Templer through AmBank will receive special home loan packages with competitive rates and favourable terms from AmBank. There are also special packages on Fire and Contractors’ All Risk insurance for Setia Eco Templer home buyers,” he added.
