Once launched, the solution will become the first wealth SuperApp in Malaysia, stated Kenanga Bank.
The SuperApp will be developed by incorporating various financial solutions, including stock trading, digital investment management, e-wallet as well as crypto trading and foreign currency exchange, onto one platform.
Kenanga Investment Bank group managing director Chay Wai Leong said: “Having spent the year conceptualising and designing the SuperApp, we are thrilled to partner with Ant Group, a globally recognised and experienced infrastructure and platform provider, to develop this platform and bring it to life.
“We look forward to not only unifying a broad spectrum of financial offerings under one roof, but more importantly, to make wealth creation more accessible by democratising financial services for the millions of Malaysians around the country who want better, swifter and cheaper access to financial products and solutions.”
