Digital banking in Asia is swelling like a tidal wave . Despite the region having some of the highest unbanked populations globally , adoption of digital services is at an all-time high .
Increased mobile penetration and better digital services , as well as the pandemic , has resulted in a transformational shift where the development shows no end in sight .
Mambu , a global leader in digital banking terms , has been instrumental in developing the sea change in many of Asia ’ s emerging marketplaces . Using the latest technologies and data analytics to create strategies that better appeal to the marketplace , they have established themselves among the region ’ s incumbents - and are giving them a run for their money .
Myles Bertrand , Managing Director of
Mambu Asia Pacific , has been based out of Singapore for almost four years , and describes the changes he ’ s witnessed , as “ drastic ”, with new market entrants as well as technologies driving the transition .
