This is the company behind the established brands Loanstreet & Loanplus. Loanstreet is a loan and insurance comparison site and Loanplus provides single point loan screening & origination for property developers & real estate agencies. The company also provides cutting edge white-labelled solutions for MNC clients through its consultancy arm Fincon.

Jared Lim, Founder and Managing Director of Finology said: “Finology is delighted to be part of HLB Activate 2018 and is looking forward to the journey together. Finology’s view is that with collaboration, Fintech can complement rather than disrupt the banking industry. HLB has passionately shown a similar understanding. We are grateful for HLB’s validation of Loanplus, and look forward to shaping the future of secured lending together.”

HLB Launchpad Activate 2018 is run in with the following partners:

Malaysian Business Angels Network, Cradle, MDEC, Asean Angels Alliance and 80RR Fintech Hub.

At HLB, we strongly believe that collaborating with the thriving community of tech savvy start-ups is key to driving innovation and transformation across the bank. That is why we have created the HLB LaunchPad.

We live in exciting times. From ride sharing apps to the emergence of new technologies like A.I and robotics, our world is being redefined at a pace like never before. Living up to our aspiration of being digital at the core, Hong Leong Bank (HLB) constantly looks out for new innovation and ideas to interact and engage with our customers and employees.
