In 1999, RHB Bank Berhad merged with Sime Bank Berhad to form RHB Banking Group. In 2003, Bank Utama merged into RHB Banking Group. The rhombus-shaped stamps in this issue chronicle the bank's centennial celebration, and include images of its first branch located at Old Market Square, the launch of the Kwong Yik Bank headquarters, its first ATM service known as the "BOSS" and the RHB Banking Group present day headquarters.
