Good question! Rize is not part of the 5 yes, but yes they are called "digital bank" - might be confusing, but from my knowledge, they have different license to operate banking business and collect people's money, but i dont think they have the permission (license) to give out loans like licensed digital/traditional banks
@@ZietInvestsactually rize did offer a personal financing loan but yeah, maybe it was not called the first digital bank in Malaysia because it was introduced by an non-local bank/company?
Someone points I don't really agree, such as some bank like HLB, already provide live chat few years back. What digital bank can do now, we can do it in most traditional bank via app/online, even we can freeze and block card already, and open account via online. So far, I (or mostly for Malaysian) can't see GX Bank provide better offer or rate compare to traditional banks. The best thing of digital bank is they offer daily interest, which is same as Versa Cash, KDI Save, Tng Go Plus etc
Hi nelson, you have some valid points! Indeed whatever they can offer now (or for the first 3 years) might just be catching up with what the traditional bank offers, but it would be a game-changer once they start rolling out alternative data credit scoring, and also how they support SME when it comes to digital banking is also something im looking forward to (p.s. M2UBiz platform is so old and dated!)
I used to live in Lithuania & had Revolut, best bank account I ever had. But now that I'm back in Malaysia & my visa expires, they closed down my account. Patiently waiting till the day Revolut is open for Malaysians too :/
gx bank doesnt allow me to open a gx acc without an acc in malaysia...i thought i can easily open a gx acc without queuing at the bloody branch..but gx bank have a ridiculous requirement which is need an existing account in malaysia... that makes unbanked communities lives to be difficult by now...😢😢
History repeating itself, digital banks are serving the B40, like how public bank served the rising middle class in the 70s and 80s, bringing banking to the underserved, but its definitely a wait and see approach, it is interesting though, as a lot of money market funds and digital banks are offering decent interest rate, taking customer away from traditional FDs, i foresee that young people likely will use these cash management solution such as versa, TNG+ and also digital banks, how will traditional banks respond? as only left with older people using FDs
You're spot on! Nowadays, more people are choosing digital banks and money market funds because they offer better interest than the usual fixed deposit. Many young peeps are starting to use apps like Versa and TNG+ for saving their money (see the growth of money market fund players!). For the traditional banks, they definitely have a lot of catch up to do!
@@ZietInvests Agreed, i personally am taking out my expired FDs and putting them into money market fund or digital banks like rIze thats giving my ard 4%, KDI and versa also 4%, with flexible withdrawal anytime and interest accumulated daily, any FD below 4% i wont even consider
Deposits actually have the lowest cost of funds for banks. So, if the digital banks plan to offer attractive money market rates in the long term to their depositors, it's going to eat away their net interest margin. Not to mention, digital banks don't have as much data about their customers, so their loans are going to be riskier and have a higher default rate.
@@ivanwong7456 Definitely! It's going to be a short-term play until their loan books (and credit scoring algorithm/mechanism) are established, else it's just burning money for customer acquisition
If they dont have a physical branch, how do i put my initial money into the digital bank account? Assuming im b40 and dont have access to any tradiitonal banks. I work and get paid in cash daily. How do i digitize my money?
I just visited their website. These are the requirements to open a savings account at GXBank: 1. Malaysian 2. Aged 18 or older 3. Doesn’t have any savings account with GXBank 4. *Hold a bank account with another bank in Malaysia* 5. Have a Malaysia registered mobile phone number Initial fund deposit must be made within 90 days to activate the account. Requirement #4 boggles my mind as it defeats the purpose of serving the under-served who do not have a bank account.
I believe they will start off with malaysian residents first - as to whether or not they expand for non-residents/foreigners is not within my knowledge!
monthly instalment, yes can be done via online. But if you have spare cash and wish to decrease the total loan amount (to save interest for your semi flexi loan), you have to do it over the counter :( Probably they make it incovenient so that they can charge you interest for longer period of time
@@brandonling9663 Oh that one! They told me e-PB can do that already, just that withdrawal still need to email and wait 3 days, but can be done online (according to my PBB banker lah). Maybe you can ask a younger banker/staff? They older ones maybe not updated with their systems haha
Malaysian banks are still very "traditional".... OMG!!! The long waiting time for counter queue.... Sometimes... one branch only handles car loan while another branch handles home loan only.... crazy!
If you ever live in UK or EU area they have more than handful of digital banks for them to use, revolut for example a single account with various currencies. Digital is the future refuse to learn will only make your life harder.

Good question, that is why it is still a bit iffy in that sense: - retail wise: they still can have physical cards to access ATMs - SME wise: its more on the loan credit scoring being eased It's definitely a slow n length process before all the transactions/payments are all done digitally, until then, the problem of that segment not being in touch with a physical branch will be a lingering problem

Yes they are covered by PIDM! "We hold a digital bank license by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).

Can Digital Bank have to do things with CCRIS andd CTOS? Will it be different than the traditional bank? Will Traditional bank look at our Digital Bank report if we want to have another traditional card? Will Digital Banks will help us in easy getting loans ?
Yes! Digital banks in Malaysia, like traditional banks, report to CCRIS and CTOS. So, your digital bank activities will be considered if you apply for a traditional credit card or loan. The approval criteria are similar for both, even though digital banks might offer a more streamlined process. Keep your credit health in check, and you'll be good to go!
B40 gt a personal loan to buy a iphone is not a good idea 😂 Hope to see video comparison of those digital bank with what benefit they offered in future.
Btw Hong leong bank can open account completely online. I use it to save emergency fund in their e-fd. They offer good rate for fresh fund transfer, jz need to transfer out to another bank and fpx it again to gt the higher rate.
While i 100% agree its not a good financial decision for them to buy the iphone, it is unfortunately one of the most lucrative segment to make interest income off (for banks) due to their late payment interest etc. :x Please stay tuned on the full comparison videos in the future! 😊
What is stopping current digital bank licensees from offering the lucrative mortgage facility to home buyers? All they have to do is to charge lower interest rates, and provide a speedier and simpler approval process? They will reach the 3 billion asset threshold in no time.
You're not wrong - in fact most of the DBs mentioned won't have much issue to hit the 3 billion asset cap (very soon), given their existing customer base that they're gonna leverage on (even without mortgage facility); as such they will push to graduate earlier from the foundational phase to start moving towards profitability! Mortgage facility - usually abit too complicated to implement at the start for the purpose of hitting asset cap, not worth the cost as its a lower-ROI product to achieve the same outcome (hitting the asset cap); they can just roll out lower deposit rates/ sign up bonuses/loyalty rewards at a much lower Customer Acquisition Cost
Is it the bank reserve ratio issue? or is it the size of the bank's capital base? The mortgage facility is the most profitable and has a lower risk because the underlying collateral is the house/property coupled with a one-sided agreement that an applicant has to sign. To me, this is a no-brainer issue. i.e if I am going to be given a banking license I will go for the low-hanging fruits. I am not privy to the terms and conditions of the license agreement so I am not sure whether BNM deliberately restricts this as a kind of sandbox so as not to disrupt the banking industry? @@ZietInvests

There might be several reasons 1. Larger order size 2. You are trading stocks that are not US domiciled Can refer to my video here for price structure! ruclips.net/video/qQOvH1PDR20/видео.html
Thank you heemeng for the answer! And yes - it depends on the underlying assets of the ETF, not the bond itself since that's quite general (but let me look into it if i can make a video to explain it!) Appreciate the question
@@leeheemeng3799 yeah my question is for ETFs that hold bonds only. Since everyone is talking about how rate cut will result in bond prices rising, would bond ETFs benefits from this? Because so far i have seen some conflicting answers and hopefully Ziet could help clarify on this
Yes! That's most likely the case, but could also be they are not updated to the digital way of verifying one's identity, or just they want to streamline the process to cater for most B40s that won't have any form of digital ID. Hope this clarifies!
My problem with them is that they are not innovative enough to offer products that people will flock to use. I think touch n go is a pioneer of offering innovative products but even them has not gone far enough
Sometimes its not the matter of whether they are creative or innovative or not. It could be regulatory limitations that stops them from progressing in fear of cannibalising the existing financial systems.
At the moment, based on GXBank, they only allow Malaysians to open. Might take some time before they start allowing foreigners to open (like conventional accounts), if they ever
Hello~ that is just 1 small example of how social scoring will be part of your credit score (i.e. your behaviour online, how you rate businesses, how you interact with ecommerce & social media etc.)
Malaysia banks? No way. Every transaction, in and out, local and international, is often scrutinised for money laundering. That's why banks take so long to clear an international transaction. Also, can't use card number to buy stuff online after midnight.
That’s true on the security, but not a bad thing if you think from a safety POV. After midnight usually just 1 hour maintenance, should be able to pay with cards 23 hr/day
@@ZietInvests Just my personal opinion. I am viewing the idea of offering loans to customer to be similar with the US private credit firms. Most of their customer will be those not qualified under conventional loan for whatever reasons. And given the higher risk profile of the borrower and higher loan approval rate, borrowing interest charged will be of course higher. This may be also a way for them to be able to offer higher saving interest rates to their customer. It is not a bad thing though, especially for the borrower. It is just that this model of loan offered to customer may result in higher risk of default and unlike US where it is a free market, our government might need to step in to bail out the digital banks before it escalate to banking crisis. But that is for a longer term and hopefully there is some countermeasure to make sure everything is in place. For now, it is a very good start as digitalisation is something we have to embrace and normalise it in our daily life.
@@wfy914 Ahhh thank you so much for your explanation - that makes a lot of sense! I believe there is a stop-loss similar mechanism set in for the DBs to maintain a certain quality-asset:loan ratio to prevent a similar SVB fallout! (Knowing BNM is always on the conservative side :P)

Hi ziet, any digital bank provide shariah compliant product?
The 2 islamic digital bank license winners will most likely have shariah compliant products!😄
Recently AEON BANK announced as a first and fully syariah complaint.
Why with the grab Food driver? 😅
Hello~ that is just 1 small example of how social scoring will be part of your credit score (i.e. your behaviour online, how you rate businesses, how you interact with ecommerce & social media etc.)
basically still ahlong
Hmm....legalised loan business...
Malaysia banks? No way. Every transaction, in and out, local and international, is often scrutinised for money laundering. That's why banks take so long to clear an international transaction. Also, can't use card number to buy stuff online after midnight.
That’s true on the security, but not a bad thing if you think from a safety POV.
After midnight usually just 1 hour maintenance, should be able to pay with cards 23 hr/day
US style private credit firms in making..
👀why'd you say so?
@@ZietInvests Just my personal opinion. I am viewing the idea of offering loans to customer to be similar with the US private credit firms. Most of their customer will be those not qualified under conventional loan for whatever reasons. And given the higher risk profile of the borrower and higher loan approval rate, borrowing interest charged will be of course higher. This may be also a way for them to be able to offer higher saving interest rates to their customer. It is not a bad thing though, especially for the borrower. It is just that this model of loan offered to customer may result in higher risk of default and unlike US where it is a free market, our government might need to step in to bail out the digital banks before it escalate to banking crisis. But that is for a longer term and hopefully there is some countermeasure to make sure everything is in place. For now, it is a very good start as digitalisation is something we have to embrace and normalise it in our daily life.
@@wfy914 Ahhh thank you so much for your explanation - that makes a lot of sense! I believe there is a stop-loss similar mechanism set in for the DBs to maintain a certain quality-asset:loan ratio to prevent a similar SVB fallout! (Knowing BNM is always on the conservative side :P)
TOO MUCH SCAMS JUST GET A SAFES AND USE IT LIKE THE CLASSIC WAY
Hmmm...that's technology, it's supposed to make people's lives better
How about Be U by bank islam?
Hello! I believe Bank Islam is not part of the 5 consortium that won the digital banking license, their offerings might be limited as they have different license instead (might have limitation in giving out loan, their loan book size etc.)
