Southern Bank was a Malaysian bank and the ninth-largest lender while being one of the ten anchor banks in Malaysia.
In 2006 it was bought over by Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings (BCHB). BCHB plans to delist the bank from public listing as well as Bumiputra-Commerce and CIMB (Investment bank division). Therefore these three banks will convert into 1 universal bank and will rename CIMB Bank.
Previously, it was 3.3% owned by Singapore's OCBC Bank.
