PETALING JAYA: Boost Bank, the fintech arm of Axiata Group Bhd
and RHB Banking Group, has disbursed close to RM150mil in financing to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) since its launch last June.
The country’s first homegrown digital bank said in a statement that the achievement reaffirmed its strong support for driving financial inclusion and empowering underserved small businesses.
“With typical loan sizes around RM300,000, this momentum is driven by Boost Bank’s core financing solutions, term loan and revolving credit facilities, which are designed to meet the diverse needs of SMEs with minimal documentation requirements, fast loan processing, and flexible repayment options.
“Hundreds of SMEs have benefited from these solutions, including businesses from the wholesale sector, manufacturing, retail, construction, food and beverage, and more to meet day-to-day needs, manage cash flows, and expand with fewer hurdles and more flexibility,” the bank said.
Boost Bank chief executive officer Fozia Amanulla noted that SMEs were at the heart of Malaysia’s economy.
“They create jobs, spark innovation, and keep our communities vibrant.”
