MoneyMatch CEO Adrian Yap said: “Collectively, we strongly believe the consortium has the right resources in place to support the underserved MSME segments neglected by the incumbents and help them realize their ambitions and goals.”

MoneyMatch co-founder Naysan Munusamy said: “The future is looking bright for Malaysia with our government and regulators leading the way with digitalization efforts across all sectors in the region. 

“Digital banking is the future for our nation, and we are extremely proud to be part of the first batch to bring about this paradigm shift in financial services together with our consortium partners.”
