Bank Simpanan Nasional is a savings bank owned by the Government of Malaysia. The bank was established on 1 December, 1974, under the Ministry of Finance, to take over the functions and responsibilities of the Post Office Savings Bank, whose history goes back all the way to the late 19th century, when savings banks were established in Perak and Selangor, in 1888 and 1893 respectively. Over the years, these became Federated Malay States Post Office Savings Bank, while separately, the Straits Settlements and the Unfederated Malay States also have their own Post Office Savings Banks.
Today Bank Simpanan Nasional has close to four hundred branches throughout the country, including the following in Penang.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
