RAKYATpreneur (RP)

RAKYATpreneur is focusing on empowering individuals within the local community, particularly those who come from underserved or lower-income backgrounds. This initiative is aimed at providing tools, knowledge, and resources to help individuals become successful entrepreneurs, enabling them to contribute to their local economies and improve their standard of living. RAKYATpreneur programmes focus on developing practical business skills in areas such as financial literacy, marketing, and entrepreneurship. 

These entrepreneurs are given access to capital, mentorship, and networks that may not be available through traditional channels. By supporting community-based entrepreneurs, RAKYATpreneur seeks to stimulate local economies, create jobs, and foster economic independence as well as encourage entrepreneurs to align their businesses with social causes, ensuring that their entrepreneurial efforts also contribute positively to the community.

Through the RAKYATpreneur programme, Bank Rakyat has nurtured more than 1,000 entrepreneurs to date.
