Digital-only lender GXBank Berhad is poised to launch its first retail investment offerings in Malaysia, building on the successful rollout of GXS Invest in Singapore earlier this year. According to industry sources and public statements from the GXS Group, the expansion is expected to take place in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and finalization of local partnerships.
GXS Invest, first introduced in Singapore in July 2025, debuted with the Fullerton SGD Cash Fund—an ultra-low-risk, short-duration fund designed for new investors seeking capital preservation and daily liquidity. GXBank now aims to replicate that success by introducing similar low-barrier investment products to Malaysian users via its digital banking platform.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the Malaysian rollout will feature fixed-income investment products bundled with micro-insurance—an innovative approach meant to address the needs of underserved retail investors. These investment-insurance hybrids are expected to provide protection against unexpected income loss while offering stable returns, making them particularly attractive to first-time investors with smaller capital bases.
