The year 2019 was another remarkable year as Hayman has witnessed not only the geographical, clientele and loan portfolio growth but also in terms of the trust Hayman has been able to engender – as we have raised the total of MMK19.35 billion in 2019 from our debt funders: Maybank, Symbiotics, BlueOrchard Finance, and AGD Bank in enabling our micro-financing.
