I am confident that Razer Fintech, with its unique proposition of focusing on addressing the needs of the youth and millennials who today already constitute the majority of the working population globally, will be uniquely poised to become their preferred financial provider.”
“With the move of regulators to liberalise banking including the grant of digital bank licenses, we are excited to have Mr. Koh on board as our esteemed advisor as we seek to rollout our digital payments solutions and explore the development and launch of digital banking platforms in Singapore and globally. Mr. Koh’s extensive experience and proven track record as an entrepreneur and corporate leader at some of the leading companies in the world will help us greatly in driving our growth strategy and addressing financial inclusivity and diversity across all markets.”
