Jirnexu redraws fintech landscape in Malaysia with RinggitPlus
Jirnexu, the driving force behind RinggitPlus, is reshaping Malaysia’s financial technology landscape by enhancing access to financial services, according to CEO Yuen Tuck Siew. The company focuses on innovative solutions that emphasize financial education, convenience, and personalization. By integrating a WhatsApp chatbot, Jirnexu has simplified the application process for financial products, allowing users to apply easily while receiving personalized recommendations through a credit score-based engine.
Jirnexu Enhances Financial Accessibility
Yuen highlighted two key trends shaping the fintech sector: the growing demand for transparency and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). He stated, “Consumers today are more educated and demanding. They expect more transparency from financial institutions.” RinggitPlus aims to drive this transparency through consumer education.
Yuen also noted that AI will facilitate hyperpersonalized financial products tailored to individual needs, enhancing user experience over time.
Financial inclusion is central to the company’s mission, with free services like financial comparison tools and educational content promoting accessibility. Yuen emphasized the importance of the annual “RinggitPlus Malaysian Financial Literacy Survey” for understanding public financial priorities.
The recent acquisition of CompareHero allows Jirnexu to enhance its service offerings and reach a broader audience, with Yuen stating, “We see this acquisition as a way to provide an even greater service to Malaysians, helping more people make informed financial decisions.”
