Meanwhile, Muhammad Ibrahim, HexTech’s Chairman, said that MoneyX represents the group’s efforts to change the fintech industry’s approach towards AI-assisted financial management, at the same time ensuring the technology adoption trickles down to benefit the man on the street.
“The greater digitalization in the financial services industry resulted in financial services becoming more diverse and accessible, in line with industry ambition of providing ‘finance for all’ such as underlined in the Bank Negara Malaysia Financial Sector Blueprint 2022- 2026,
“However, this evolving landscape has become more challenging for consumers to navigate and properly utilise the tools to be more efficient in their financial management,” he noted.
