Aligned with its commitment to democratizing investments and broaden the bank’s suite of service offering, Hong Leong Investment Bank (“HLIB” or the “Bank”) has officially launched its innovative HLeBroking e-IPO application service.

This new feature allows clients to access and apply for Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) shares directly through the HLeBroking website, providing convenience and accessibility to both seasoned and prospective investors. This landmark launch places HLIB at the forefront of investment service innovation in Malaysia, reinforcing its dedication to providing clients with direct, seamless access to a wide variety of capital markets.

The HLeBroking e-IPO platform fully integrates the entire IPO application process directly into the HLeBroking website. This strategic move successfully tackles the traditional complexity of applying for IPOs, which typically requires cumbersome applications via external channels like ATMs or separate online banking portals.

According to Lee Jim Leng, CEO of HLIB, “The Malaysian IPO market has been very active, having recorded close to 50 IPO listings so far in 2025. The introduction of our e-IPO service is a clear testament to our commitment to making high-growth investments accessible and aligns perfectly with our consistent call for improved product servicing and offerings. By eliminating the typical administrative barriers involved in applying for an IPO, our platform creates a truly seamless and streamlined investment experience for all clients and investors.”

The HLeBroking e-IPO platform allows investors to manage their IPO applications entirely within the HLeBroking ecosystem. Clients can view their trust balances and portfolios, and apply, cancel, or reapply for offerings with ultimate ease. Furthermore, they can track all their activities, status, and history directly within their secure account login. This integrated approach removes the necessity for continuous cash withdrawals and external fund transfers, dramatically improving fund management efficiency and convenience.

In conjunction with the launch, HLIB is offering special benefits for clients utilizing the platform during the campaign period, including waived application fees when applying for IPOs and a 15% brokerage rebate when trading the newly listed IPO shares on their listing date.
