Our BOLD. solutions are future-ready to meet the demands of virtual banks and together with Silverlake, we are confident we will provide meaningful access, efficiency and convenience for digital banking consumers,” says Dato’ Henry Goh, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, MACROKIOSK Group.

Meanwhile Silverlake is best known by the industry for its core banking solutions and was the source of wealth for Goh Peng Ooi who is currently listed as Malaysia’s 29th richest person by Forbes.

“Our focus is to drive innovation in financial institutions in Asia Pacific countries through various digital financial services,” says Mr. Joseph Yeong, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Silverlake Mobility Ecosystem.
