Entering the Digital Banking Arena

Apart from its existing brokerage business, NAGA is further entering the hyped digital banking industry. The group revealed that it will launch its challenger bank called NAGA PAY, on November 15.

The platform has started pre-registration of customers and already saw ‘thousands’ of potential users, the company detailed.

As Finance Magnates reported, NAGA made a few key appointments recently and is expanding beyond its regular markets. It has already established local entities in Australia and South Africa and is now seeking regulatory approvals in those markets.

"The major rationale after Q1 was to enlarge our customer base, invest in our brand exposure and set up the company for scalability," Bilski added. "NAGA has its best cash-flow situation, highest average monthly volumes and the highest number of active users (as per September 2020) since inception. For the next quarters we need to invest into brand exposure, marketing and grow our team to offer a world-class trading experience by ensuring operational stability."
