AEON CREDIT STRENGTHENS COMMITMENT TO MOTORSPORTS WITH INVESTMENT INTO CARDINALS RACING TEAM FOR 2026 ASIA ROAD RACING CHAMPIONSHIP

AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad (“AEON Credit” or “the Group”) has announced its official investment in the Cardinals Racing Team for the 2026 season of the Asia Road Racing Championship (“ARRC”), reinforcing its leadership and long-standing commitment to Malaysia’s two-wheeler ecosystem.

As a market leader in motorcycle financing, with over 20% market share, AEON Credit has played a pivotal role in enabling mobility and accessibility for Malaysians. This latest partnership reflects the Group’s continued investment in the growth of the two-wheeler industry, extending beyond financing into performance, talent development, and regional motorsports excellence.

Ms Lee Tyan Jen, Deputy CEO & Chief Business Synergy Officer of AEON Credit said, “Our partnership with the Cardinals Racing Team represents a natural extension of our leadership in the motorcycle segment. We are proud to support a team that embodies precision, resilience, and a competitive spirit. These are values that closely align with our own. This partnership allows us to contribute meaningfully to the motorsports ecosystem while strengthening our connection with riders and enthusiasts across the region.”

The Cardinals Racing Team has built a strong reputation within the ARRC, recognised for its technical capabilities and consistent on-track performance. With AEON Credit’s backing, the team aims to elevate its competitiveness and secure strong podium finishes throughout the 2026 season.

This brand investment builds on AEON Credit’s growing presence in premier motorcycle racing platforms. In 2025, AEON Credit participated in MotoGP engagements and supported rising Malaysian talent Hakim Danish during his wildcard appearance. Further strengthening its commitment to talent development, AEON Credit is partnering with ZK Racing to bring Hakim Danish into a full season campaign in the 2026 Moto3™ World Championship.

The initiative also supports AEON Credit’s broader branding and marketing objectives by enhancing brand visibility across international motorsport platforms, strengthening

engagement with customers and communities, and positioning the Group as a long-term supporter of youth talent development.

“Motorsports is a powerful platform that embodies innovation, discipline, and ambition,” added Ms Lee Tyan Jen. “From grassroots development to international stages, we are committed to supporting talent and teams that represent the future of racing.”

Team Principal of Cardinals Racing Team, Mr K.F. Wong commented, “We are honoured to partner with AEON Credit for the 2026 season. Their support strengthens our ability to

compete at the highest level, and we look forward to delivering strong results while proudly representing the brand throughout the championship.”

The Asia Road Racing Championship remains Asia’s premier motorcycle racing series, attracting top riders and teams from across the region. The 2026 season is expected to deliver high-intensity competition across multiple international circuits.

Through its partnership with Cardinals Racing Team, AEON Credit is reinforcing its impact within the two-wheeler industry, bridging financial accessibility with high-performance motorsports while inspiring the next generation of riders.
