CASHBACK rewards player ShopBack has sold off its full stake in Seedly, a personal finance community platform, to Hong Kong-based CompareAsiaGroup.

Regulatory filings dated Oct 26 show that Shopback's entity, Ecommerce Enablers Pte Ltd, sold its entire stake in Seedly, comprising ordinary shares and preference shares with a total paid-up capital of nearly S$2.9 million and S$80,000 respectively. The selling price of the shares is not reflected in the filings.
