WITH one digital bank licence already in the bag, the Grab-Singtel venture is expected to be in contention for more such licences across Asia under its regional expansion play, analysts say.

Citing guidance provided by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Z74 said the country's central bank will issue up to five digital bank licences by Q1 2022.
