Kuala Lumpur, 29 January 2021 — Versa, a digital cash management platform with a mission to encourage and educate Malaysians on better ways to manage their finances and unlock the potential of their idle cash, today officially launches their comprehensive, user-friendly digital platform. Accessible as a mobile application, users on the Versa platform can acquire returns that are similar to other low-risk deposit options while enjoying the flexibility of a savings account. 

Realizing the Importance of Money Management 

In light of the pandemic, and the economic downturn that has taken place as a result, the necessity for more financial education and investment options have been at an all-time high with many Malaysians forced to realise the importance of saving money for rainy days. In fact, many have taken the opportunity to be more prudent in terms of spending, saving and investing during the movement control order (MCO) period. Throughout last year’s pandemic, a high percentage of households across T20, M40 and B40 categories have recorded a reduction in spending, while some had started investing more in stock markets and fixed deposits.
