Episode Why No Malaysian Digital Bank Is Profitable After 4 Years [Off The Book]

0:00 45:04

In this episode of Mr Money TV, Off The Book, we sit down with Ravi Kittane, Partner, Ernst & Young Consulting Sdn. Bhd., to talk about digital banks in Malaysia and around the world. In 2022, Bank Negara gave out five digital banking licenses. Four years later, none of these banks are profitable yet. We break down how digital banks work, why artificial intelligence (AI) helps small teams run a whole bank, and why small business owners need them the most. We also look at whether investors should treat digital banks as fast-growing tech companies or regular banks. ✅ Learn more about our Stock Investing Bootcamp: https://finlit.my/stockinvestingbootcampChapter Marker:00:00 Trailer 00:42 Introduction1:52 What an ideal digital bank looks like4:07 Which digital banks have actually succeeded globally5:22 What separates the winners — Starling's 200,000 tests8:31 Inside the licence race: 29 applicants, 5 licences10:10 How ChatGPT changed the game for Ryt Bank11:24 The RM3 billion asset cap, explained13:22 What banks hire consultants to fix16:08 Are Malaysia's five banks doing enough?18:01 GXBank, Ryt, Boost, AEON, KAF — where each is heading20:36 AI features you haven't seen yet24:31 Why SMEs are the real opportunity26:15 Is the "underserved" mandate holding them back?34:33 Are conventional banks worried now?36:48 Why HSBC's Zing shut down in six months39:59 Where Malaysia ranks on the world map42:57 At IPO: tech company or bank?44:37 A tech company that happens to be a bank#MrMoneyTV #DigitalBanking #Digitalbank #BankNegara #FintechMalaysia #GXBank #BoostBank #AEONBank #SmartInvesting #BusinessTips #BankingMadeSimple #LearnInvesting #MoneyMatters Come say Hi to us at,🌐 Website: https://www.mrmoneytv.com/📘 Facebook: /mrmoneytv🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/mrmoneytvchnl?s=21📱 Instagram: /mrmoneytv🖊️ LinkedIn: /mr-money-tv🤳 TikTok: @mrmoneytvchannel🎙️ Podcast: [https://open.spotify.com/show/1EhftKYdbpC0C2VnTJOO2K]For business & job enquiries, do contact us at,✉️ collabs@finlitmedia.coDisclaimer: This is not investment advice.
