REVENUE from South-east Asia's digital financial services could hit US$60 billion by 2025, but only if the region's financial players can crack barriers to lending in the SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) space.
While interest from the region's 64 million SMEs is high - around 80 per cent of small retailers need credit - they remain underserved by established players, said a report by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company on Wednesday.
