“Our strategy continues to show significant results, our revenue pool is expanding at an accelerated rate, and our competition has never been under more pressure,” said Prashant Aggarwal, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyHero. “Singapore and Hong Kong represent the center of Southeast Asia’s economy. To win in these markets, companies need to dedicate themselves to maintaining pace with ever-evolving consumer demands through both consistent innovation and elevated customer experiences.

We are thrilled to have achieved such strong year-over-year performance and look forward to continuing this momentum throughout 2024 and beyond.”
