Building a Secure and Intelligent Network for Bank of China Malaysia: The SUNDRAY Advantage

October 13, 2025 | blogs

Bank of China first established its presence in Malaysia in 1939, later resuming operations in 2001 as Bank of China (Malaysia) Berhad with full commercial banking capabilities. Today, its network spans key locations including Kuala Lumpur, Klang, Puchong, Penang, Melaka, Muar, Johor Bahru, and Kuching—supported by a strong customer-centric reputation and a strategic vision to become a first-class international bank.

As digital transformation accelerates in the financial sector, the Bank requires a robust, secure, and centrally managed network infrastructure across its headquarters and branches. To meet these demands, Sundray presents a comprehensive solution tailored to enhance connectivity, security, and management efficiency.
