FICO Survey: Malaysian Consumers more Comfortable Opening Bank Accounts with Smartphones than Americans and Canadians

23 percent of Malaysians prefer to open a bank account on their phone compared to 18 percent in the US and 16 percent in Canada

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

Do Identity Checks By Malaysian Banks Turn Away Customers?
Do Identity Checks By Malaysian Banks Turn Away Customers?

Highlights:

  • The FICO Consumer Digital Banking Survey examines the preferences Malaysian consumers have with digital bank account opening
  • The study found 23 percent of Malaysians prefer to open a bank account on their phone compared to 18 percent in the US and 16 percent in Canada
  • 78 percent of Malaysian consumers said they would open a financial account online
  • Identity verification with too much friction could cost organizations over 40 percent of new account openings

More information: https://www.fico.com/identity

FICO, a global analytics software firm, has released its Consumer Digital Banking Survey which found Malaysian consumers are more comfortable opening bank accounts on their smartphones than consumers in the US and Canada.

The study showed that 23 percent of Malaysians prefer to open a bank account on their phone compared to 18 percent in the US and 16 percent in Canada.

"It is not surprising that Malaysian consumers are digital natives," said Subhashish Bose, FICO’s lead for fraud, security and compliance in Asia Pacific. "It is demographically a young country, with 80 percent of the population under the age of 50. Plus, the Malaysian government is actively encouraging development and investment in the digital economy which makes up about a fifth of the country’s GDP. These factors have promoted a digital-first consumer base."

The study showed that digital account opening is rapidly becoming the norm in Malaysia with 78 percent of consumers saying they would open some kind of financial account online.

Of those that would open a financial account online, 65 percent would consider doing so for an everyday transaction account, 45 percent for a credit card and 28 percent for a personal loan.

Leading the digital push were 25-34-year-olds, with 76 percent of them saying they would open a bank account online. This dropped to 49 percent when it came to consumers 45-55 years-old, but interestingly climbed back up to 61 percent for those over 55 years of age.

"Malaysian households are often multi-generational," explained Bose. "So, this finding might be explained by younger generations helping their grandparents with their banking, especially if they are less mobile and can’t get to a branch.

"As consumers’ reliance on online services grows in response to COVID-19, we expect further shifts in adoption and indeed an acceleration and acceptance in opening bank accounts digitally. It is important that banks closely examine any points of friction in their application process to ensure consumers are not abandoning a process or switching to a competitor," said Bose.

Malaysians expect account opening to be fully digital

The survey found that a large percentage of Malaysians had an expectation that they should be able to complete all aspects of account opening online or on their phone.

Out of the regular identity checks needed to open an account, 78 percent of Malaysians thought they should be able to prove their identity by scanning documents or providing a selfie, 46 percent expected to prove where they live without moving offline and 40 percent said they should be able to set up a biometric such as a fingerprint scan at account opening.

If all actions required to complete an account opening cannot be accomplished in-session, only 45 percent of respondents said they would carry out the necessary offline actions as soon as possible and 23 percent said they would abandon opening the account. Overall findings demonstrated that financial institutions that don’t facilitate a completely digital account opening experience could lose over 40 percent of their new business.

"There is research to show that only 6-9 percent of applicants move through the funnel and complete the process," said Subhashish. "The most important metric that banking executives need to understand is the difference between application completion for authenticated versus non-authenticated applications, as well as how many applicants with saved or abandoned applications return to complete the process."

FICO’s Consumer Digital Banking Survey was the results of an online, quantitative survey of 5,000 adults (over 18) across 10 countries carried out on behalf of FICO by an independent research company.

Introducing Apiflex, Apigate’s Partner Bundling Platform for Customer Acquisition and Retention

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Apigate, a trusted provider to Telco Operators and Digital Merchants for reach, acquisition and monetisation, today announced the launch of its new dynamic content bundling platform "Apiflex".

Apigate’s Partner Bundling Platform for Customer Acquisition and Retention
Apigate’s Partner Bundling Platform for Customer Acquisition and Retention

Apiflex enables Digital Merchants and Telco Operators to co-create rich content and service offerings that, together, are more appealing and offer better value to end users and at the same time, tackle the rising cost of digital marketing and sales leaving them to focus on growing and retaining their respective customer base.

Recent analyst reports have shown that Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) has rocketed nearly 50% over the past five years for both B2B and B2C companies. Notwithstanding other pressures already placed on businesses today, balancing the ever-rising CAC with the monetization of customers has become a key factor for business survival for Digital Merchants. This together with the Telco clients who operate in saturated markets need differentiation to Acquire & Retain their customers. This is where bundling plays a crucial role and Apiflex helps businesses take advantage of this.

Simply put, Apiflex effectively combines two separate offerings into a single offer, providing an attractive bundle to the end consumer. The Bundling Models through the platform offer new and attractive ways for co-marketing, which ultimately lowers the cost of reaching, acquiring and maintaining customers.

Raja Mansukhani, Apigate’s Senior Vice President of APAC, said, "At Apigate, our endeavor has always been to innovate and create products with a ‘Problem to Resolve‘ mindset. Apiflex is one more such offering which helps to create the perfect combination of reduced Cost of Acquisition with higher conversion rates for Digital Merchants and at the same time creates differentiation for our Telco clients to cater for the ever-increasing digital content demand by their end customers. We are excited with the introduction of this new product and hope this delivers significant value to our partners and clients and to their end consumers."

FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market

12CM partners with Korea’s biggest search engine provider, Naver, to launch cloud-based FinTech solution, expects change in the domestic FinTech market landscape

SEOUL, South Korea, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 12CM (One-two-cee-em), the smart stamp software platform provider and a member company of the Born2Global Centre, has recently inked a collaboration deal with Naver Business Platform (NBP). 12CM has been an active member of the Born2Global Centre since 2018.

FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market
FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market

NBP is a fully independent subsidiary company of Naver Corporation specializing in cloud IT infrastructure and services (Naver being Korea’s largest search engine as well as operating LINE, the #1 chat service in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand). The deal will see the Echoss Stamp developer’s Open API and Finance Microservice implemented in a FinTech SaaS solution aimed at financial institutions.

Traditionally, such financial services have required strict security measures making cloud-based service development difficult. The fact that cloud technology makes use of a wide variety of frameworks and open source code means that financial institutions have found adoption of these technologies less than ideal.

That being said, NBP is the first cloud operator in the S. Korean domestic market to receive top marks from the Financial Security Institute for infrastructure security. 12CM itself will be providing its service security level protocols, developed and tested over years of R&D and real-world applications, to this collaborative partnership.

Large financial institutions already offer a variety of remote services, such as mobile apps and over-the-phone consultation. However, moving these to the cloud will allow not only faster implementation of entirely new service channels (such as mobile web apps) but also alliance service channels enabling cooperation. The collaboration between 12CM and NBP is slotted to provide a home in the cloud to accommodate these innovative new services.

"Financial institution’s recent trend of ‘non face-to-face’ service is in a state of constant innovation and like financial institution’s websites, the demand for convenient financial service via diverse cooperation channels is always increasing. NBP and 12CM are planning to provide a secure SaaS solution that emphasizes security and flexibility in financial services to the market as soon as possible,” said Sang Young Han, director of NBP.

Jeong Gyoun Han, 12CM of CEO said, "For our initial loan service model, the whole process including security, identification, Open API integration, as well as certificate submission will be structured as a complete self-service. The SDK itself will also be provided in order for users to customize their own mobile web pages. For a smooth and successful launch, in addition to our alliance with NBP, we have also tapped UniFinTech Corp., a consulting company specialized in mobile commerce and IT."

It is a fact that there is a global trend of more and more software companies moving onto the cloud, and while doing so adopting more SaaS or other "as a service" business models. This Fintech service alliance in the Korean domestic market marks the next step of mobile evolution in the finance IT industry, and we look forward to what it may mean for the future of Fintech.

UNL, Akoin and Venturerock Team Up to Launch Human Unlimited #tech4good Foundation

SINGAPORE, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Global tech companies UNL, Akoin and Venturerock have teamed up to launch Human Unlimited foundation to use #tech4good and fuel the fight against COVID-19, future pandemics and disasters.

UNL, Akoin and Venturerock Team Up to Launch Human Unlimited #tech4good Foundation
UNL, Akoin and Venturerock Team Up to Launch Human Unlimited #tech4good Foundation

The foundation supports and accelerates initiatives and ventures that leverage technology as a catalyst to transform and elevate human reality within developing regions, starting with Africa, India and Southeast Asia. "Our focus is set on accelerating long-term tech solutions for battling the first, second and third waves of the virus, to bring back balance post COVID-19 and being ready for a fast, universal response when future disasters strike," says Xander van der Heijden, CEO of UNL.

The human and economic costs of COVID-19 are projected to be most devastating for developing countries which lack the infrastructure to contain the spread and provide health security. In the short term, Human Unlimited is launching the Human Care app and the Human Frequency music relief campaign to empower people in developing countries to protect themselves and their communities.

"People suffering from COVID-19 and other pandemics need an ongoing end-to-end system to aggressively fight these human battles," said Akon. "We created HUMAN CARE to map those in need of support during these trying times. Our HUMAN FREQUENCY music and awareness platform was built to raise the necessary funds to bring real relief to those directly in need," – Akon

An estimated 4 billion people globally are unaddressed, making vital services like emergency help inaccessible and patients hard to reach. Powered by UNL’s smart addressing infrastructure, Human Care gives universal addresses to people anywhere to enable access to essential services like emergency and health responses, and navigation to bring people in need to important hubs, such as hospitals and relief centers, faster. The application promotes social responsibility practices through tools for self-identifying and self-monitoring symptoms, and encourages collaboration between people and local governments, contributing to safer public environments.

In future releases, Human Care will be introducing an incentive mechanism to stimulate positive behavior and self-monitoring. Powered by Akon’s Akoin, the application will be rewarding users for contributing their data and insights about new and developing cases, starting with Africa. 

Through Human Care, individuals who have been affected by COVID-19 can self-identify in need, request relief in the form of food, medical supplies and other essentials and get it delivered even to the most remote locations in Africa, India and SEA.

Alongside the application, Human Unlimited is launching the Human Frequency campaign, a rolling series of at-home musical events to unite, invite and heal with the lyrics, beats and melodies of some of the world’s most-recognized musicians and new international artists, led by Akon. Funds raised during the Human Frequency series will go to COVID-19 relief for the ones identified in need via the Human Care app and to support the acceleration of new #tech4good solutions.

Human Unlimited is not doing this alone. The #tech4good foundation has already partnered with global companies, organizations and charities, including HERE Technologies, UN Blockchain Commission, PVBLIC Foundation, WeGiveToCare – Red Cross, Akoin Foundation and the People’s Prize.

About Human Unlimited

Human Unlimited is a #tech4good foundation supporting and accelerating initiatives and ventures that use technology as a catalyst to transform and elevate human reality within developing countries.
