Fintech Booster is a program introduced by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation in collaboration with Bank Negara Malaysia with the objective to provide capacity-building resources for companies to develop their fintech solutions, with high value propositions to a proof of concept (POC) stage. The program aims to facilitate fintech companies, mainly through mentorship consultations and public workshops. If you’re looking to expand your knowledge and actuate your fintech ideas, the Fintech Booster is right for you.
If you are a budding fintech entrepreneur or an individual who has a keen interest in fintech, you are eligible for the public programs. However, the private programs have requirements that fintech companies would need to fulfil.
Fintech Booster is open to all fintech companies including those without any presence in Malaysia. However, fintech companies with potential to contribute to the creation of high value-added jobs in Malaysia will be viewed more favourably.
The public programs are open to everyone with an interest in fintech. The private programs are restricted to fintech companies only, subject to application approval.
