Boost Holdings Bhd group chief executive officer Sheyantha Abeykoon

PETALING JAYA: Millions of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia remain locked out of traditional financing due to the lack of formal credit histories, a gap Axiata Group Bhd’s fintech arm Boost Holdings Bhd, says it is addressing.

Boost now uses transaction data from its eWallet ecosystem to provide data-driven lending and embedded digital banking solutions for small businesses and individuals who lack conventional credit histories.
