KUALA LUMPUR (July 27): ManagePay Systems Bhd (MPay) said it is forming a joint venture (JV) company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary ManagePay Services Sdn Bhd (MPSB) together with Singapore-based Passion Venture Capital Pte Ltd (PVC), to participate in digital banking in Malaysia.
In a bourse filing today, MPay said it has inked an agreement to set up a JV company to procure a digital bank licence from Bank Negara Malaysia to operate a digital bank via the JV. MPSB will hold 51% in the JV company, while PVC will hold the remaining 49%. Investment in the JV company will be fully funded by PVC, said MPay.
PVC is a venture capital fund management firm registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. "PVC invests in start-ups and provides seed money for companies with the potential to grow and tap into the vast global consumer markets," MPay said.
"PVC brings the ability to raise the funds required for the digital bank and also a wealth of experience in banking and deep knowledge to enhance banking offerings; therefore, placing the JV company as a formidable forerunner for the digital bank licence application for Malaysia, and subsequently the region of Southeast Asia," MPay said.
As for MPay itself, the group said it is equipped with the infrastructure, processes, and operational know-how required to seamlessly transform into a full-fledged digital bank, particularly to cater to the same micro, small and medium enterprises market.
Shares in MPay closed unchanged at 10 sen today, giving it a total market capitalisation of RM71 million.
The Board of Directors of the Company wishes to announce that ManagePay Services Sdn. Bhd. (“MPSB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPay, had on 27 July 2020 entered into a Joint Venture and Shareholders’ Agreement (“Agreement”) with Passion Venture Capital Pte Ltd (“PVC”) to set up a JVC to apply for and/or procure a digital bank licence from Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) and subsequent thereto, to operate a digital bank, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions in the Agreement for the purpose of furthering the Proposed JV.
Got attracted here by bro qwerting. Very pessimistic abt their chances of getting a digital banking license. Soon you will see alot more mpay size companies coming out shouting abt digital bank. At best I think this is just a goreng stock and run after profit. You can already roughly guess who will get the digital banking license...
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
