FINTECH BUSINESS MODEL

Our business model envisions a decentralised digital-only banking services offered entirely through digital touchpoints. Our key competitive advantages in this is our ability to offer users high-quality self-service experiences and much lower operating costs than the traditional banks. While most digital banks target digital-native/tech-savvy consumers and small businesses, we're starting with narrower segments and gradually expand our reach to other groups. Our modus operandi is web & mobile-first, with some online banking offerings; and even our customer service is a digital-first, chatbots led with limited human support.

DECENTRALISATION

Our finance marketplaces will enable customers to choose financial services from a variety of third-party suppliers in an open environment. The marketplace is accessed through websites and apps, and also developer portals and APIs just like Stripe and BankBazaar. As the industry embraces open banking and open data paradigms, our marketplace would increasingly democratize and facilitate easy access to the best products and services.

MARKETPLACE

Part of our business model is also offering Financial Institutions-led non-finance marketplace to enable customers to choose a range of (non-financial) goods and services from suppliers in an open environment. For instance, our platform is a one-stop portal to browse property listings, cars, book travel flights, book hotels, buy mobile databundle, purchase airtime and compare utility providers, with financing options bundled along.
