According to recent Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) data as per 2019, nearly 1.3 Million corporates and SMEs exist within Malaysia and are continuously growing. Banks are continuously trying their best to cater to these organizations (both new and existing) to ensure that the customer’s needs are catered to as efficiently as possible whilst keeping their costs low and manageable.

Organizations and SMEs when opening their company bank accounts continuously face administrative hurdles and risk resubmissions which can become tedious tasks to do. For a bank, analysing and manually addressing these documents is time consuming and prone to human error. All these aspects contribute to critical loss of time and money for both parties and thusly hinder both sides of the business not to mention the loss of potential opportunities.

The MoU between Codebase Technologies and Big Dataworks aims to reduce the time it takes to register corporate and SME bank accounts, effectively empowering the current banking infrastructure to bridge the existing gap. Codebase Technologies, is a leading Global Open API Banking solutions provider at the forefront of the emerging FinTech ecosystem enabling both conventional and Islamic banks and financial institutions. The collaboration with Big Dataworks, a known “positive ecosystem disruptor” and pioneer of various nationwide innovations, will now move demystify digital financial services for consumers in Malaysia and further-a-field.

The robust product will allow banks, financial institutions, and FinTechs to deliver seamless customer experiences by allowing corporate users to open a bank account within minutes with full STP processes backed by machine learning and data analytics.

Codebase Technologies will leverage its innovative and industry leading CX and Compliance offerings from its award-winning Digibanc™ suite to develop this unique offering while Big Dataworks will provide their cutting edge data connectivity as one of two data providers for SSM, the national database for company registration and annual accounts in Malaysia, raising the bar for enterprising tech partnerships in the region.
