“We call this the emergence of the Super App because the services
available through the updated TrueMoney Wallet and those which are planned for
future phases will complement each other. What will end up happening is that
this app will serve all the financial needs of our lives,” said Mr. Punnamas. “FinTech is no longer enough and we took a further step to
introduce ‘FinLife’ or ‘Financial Lifestyle’ because
TrueMoney Wallet really does have the potential to meet all of an individual’s needs, all the way from day-to-day financial needs to bigger
and more substantial things.”

opportunity for growth is significant.
