DayOne said it has obtained additional financing worth RM15 billion (US$3.67 billion) from seven banks for its Malaysian expansion. The Singapore-based data centre developer will use the funds to increase its hyperscale data centre capacity in Johor.

The package combines an offshore term loan facility of US$2.40 billion with a Murabahah facility worth RM5.50 billion. It adds to an earlier RM15 billion loan granted to DayOne in 2025.

DBS Group and Standard Chartered were among the lenders arranging the financing. The other consortium members were CIMB Group Holdings, Maybank, Crédit Agricole CIB, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp and United Overseas Bank.
