“The pandemic has highlighted how important it is that people have access to versatile, easy-to-use financial solutions. Many underserved demographics in Malaysia lack access to the credit they need because they do not have the typically “acceptable” credit history which is required by traditional banks - this directly impacts the ability to build long term financial standing. We have always been committed to democratizing financial services through accessibility and education across Southeast Asia. We believe that the launch of our personal loans product is unique with the level of transparency, the ease of use and the way in which we do our credit scoring that doesn’t only look at the history of past loans, but also at customer behaviour. The launch of the personal loans product brings us one step closer to bridging the inclusion gap,” said Salim Dhanani, CEO and Co-Founder of BigPay.
Meanwhile, CEO of Capital A Tony Fernandes said, “We are very proud of BigPay Later’s launch of the first digital personal loans product. BigPay has the ability to leverage Capital A’s rich database and customers that have a strong loyalty to our brands. BigPay shares the same ethos and principles as Capital A and AirAsia: focusing on affordability, accessibility as well as inclusivity. We are excited that we can disrupt once again and give the common man, from SMEs, small entrepreneurs to the mass public, the same accessibility to easy, simple loans and other outstanding financial services.”
