Here are the 16 most influential fintech personalities in Malaysia

While the concept of fintech itself has been known in Malaysia since 2013, it had only become a buzzword in the country starting from 2016.

In its initial years, financial institutions and services industries were once worried about the disruption fintech could cause to their business. But as the years went by, we could see changes happened when these companies decided to embrace working with fintech startups instead.

Today, Malaysia is one of the fastest-growing fintech markets in Southeast Asia. This would not happen without the hard work of prominent fintech personalities in the market, as detailed in the e27 Malaysia Fintech Report.

Here is a list of 16 of those influential figures in alphabetical order:
