Grab, Razer in talks for Malaysian digital banking licence bid
Up to five licences will be granted to either conventional or Islamic banks.
Grab and Razer are amongst the companies interested in applying for a digital banking licence in Malaysia, reports Reuters.
In December, the central bank of Malaysia announced they would grant up to five digital banking licences to either conventional or Islamic banks under a proposed framework to be finalised in June.
The country said it will prefer applicants whose equities are controlled by local companies.
Razer, who is also applying for a digital licence in Singapore, was in talks with a local conglomerate for a Malaysian licence, the report said.
