And here's why Singtel is faring well despite a heated telco battle in its home turf.

From Dealstreet Asia:

Singapore-based global online fraud management company CashShield has raised a $20-million Series B round, co-led by Temasek and early backer GGV Capital.

Founded by CEO Justin Lie, CashShield is a fully machine-automated fraud management solution that uses AI and Wall Street trading tools powered by proprietary high-frequency trading algorithms, real-time pattern recognition, and passive biometric analytics.

The latest funding will be used to strengthen CashShield’s end-to-end fraud management technology to provide more comprehensive fraud screening abilities for businesses, financial institutions and government organizations, the company said.

From The Motley Fool:

In FY2018, Singtel’s share of its associates’ post-tax profit was down by 10.9% to S$1.82 billion. At first glance, this is a bad result.

But, there were two main factors that had masked the otherwise good performance of Singtel’s associates. As a quick introduction, Singtel’s main associates and joint ventures are Telkomsel in Indonesia; AIS and Intouch in Thailand; Airtel and BTL in India and Africa; and Globe in the Philippines. In fact, at constant currency terms, and excluding Airtel and BTL, Singtel’s share of its associates’ post-tax FY2018 profit would have been flat at S$ 1.77 billion.
