“The investments will be utilised to fund Bayo Pay’s expansion by onboarding new clients and promote its ancillary digital services,” said Aznul Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer of Bayo Pay.

According to him, the investments will also go a long way in the operations of the company and support the capital expenditure requirements as part of its forward strategies to expand client base, increase collaborative-based income and further deepen its focus in its niche verticals.

“We are thrilled to have both VentureTECH SBI and VentureTECH as our cornerstone institutional investors and we believe this investment validates our business roadmap, as we execute our strategies to leverage on the global surge in use of digital payments,” he said.

Meanwhile, this marks VentureTECH’s first investment in the Fintech market segments since its inception, and with the addition of Bayo Pay, VentureTECH has invested and committed to invest in 25 technology industry leaders in its targeted high technology and emerging industries, with aggregate investee net worth surpassing the MYR 2 billion ($440 million) mark.

“Our MYR 7 million ($1.52 million) investment will speed up Bayo Pay’s product development cycle through hiring additional talents and client acquisition,” said Mohd Jerry Tan, Principal of VentureTECH SBI.
