Description
Boost is a Kuala Lumpur-based regional full-spectrum fintech arm of Axiata Group that delivers comprehensive financial solutions for both consumers and businesses. The company transitioned from a pure lifestyle e-wallet into a multi-vertical fintech player, encompassing digital payments, merchant solutions, and AI-based micro-financing.
The company operates through distinct pillars: the Boost Life consumer app for bill payments and online shopping, Boost Biz for merchant acquiring, and Boost Credit for alternative micro-financing. It leverages advanced data analytics to assess credit risk, allowing it to disburse short-term loans and invoice financing to MSMEs that lack traditional credit histories.
A major milestone for Boost was securing a highly coveted digital banking license in Malaysia as part of a consortium with RHB Bank, cementing its regulatory credibility. The platform serves millions of users and hundreds of thousands of merchant touchpoints, recognized with multiple digital inclusion and tech innovation awards across Southeast Asia.
The ongoing focus of the company is the rapid rollout and scaling of its digital bank (Boost Bank) to serve unbanked and underbanked populations. The ecosystem distinguishes itself through a holistic, AI-powered approach that continuously connects consumer purchasing behavior with specialized, fast-acting merchant financing.
