KUALA LUMPUR: Payments company Visa and the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) have launched a mobile application that they hope will get Malaysians thinking about and planning for their retirement.

"We hope that the introduction of the Financial Insight mobile app will enable Malaysians to understand the importance of saving regularly and be aware of how much they should set aside each month so that they will be financially sufficient by the time they retire," said Visa Malaysia country manager Ng Kong Boon at the launch of the app here on Tuesday.
