iFast Malaysian unit gets approval to operate as an e-money issuer

It was also approved to hold a Money Services Business Class A licence.

iFast Corporation Ltd. has announced that its Malaysia-incorporated subsidiary, iFAST Pay Malaysia, has received approval from Bank Negara Malaysia to operate as an electronic money issuer and to hold a money services business Class A licence.

According to iFast, this regulatory milestone in Malaysia paves the way to introduce complementary payment-related services to the group’s existing suite of wealth management and digital banking solutions.

iFAST Pay Malaysia will initially focus on expanding and enhancing its multi-currency e-wallet services, prepaid cards linked to the e-wallet, and cross-border payment capabilities.

The group also intends to strengthen the integration between its wealth management platform and its digital payment services, allowing customers to move seamlessly between investing and transacting.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
