MoneyMatch to start Series B fundraising after winning digital banking licence
New Straits Times
•2022-05-06
KUALA LUMPUR: MoneyMatch Sdn Bhd is launching its Series B fundraising round following the recent successful digital banking licence application. The fintech startup was one of the consortium participants led by KAF Investment Bank Bhd, which was recently selected to receive a digital banking licence in Malaysia under the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (IFSA). MoneyMatch announced in July 2021 that it was applying for a digital banking licence after closing its RM18.5 million Series A investment round and its expansion plans. The company is already in talks with several local and regional institutional investors, investment banks and venture capital funds and will close the round by this year. It plans to ramp up its investments in leading-edge technologies, upgraded financial infrastructure and business development scale-up efforts to various new countries in the region by next year. MoneyMatch chief executive officer Adrian Yap said the company believed the consortium has the right resources to serve the underserved micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) segments that have been neglected by the incumbents better and help them realise their ambitions and goals.
