SBF's digibank bid raises impartiality question; SMEs hope for more financing help
Singapore

In response to the news of the SBF taking a minority stake in a consortium that is eyeing a digital full-bank licence, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) say that they welcome more options as securing financing is indeed a problem for them.
