The Lafferty Group research and advisory services on mobile wallets, credit cards and digital finance to the global banking sector.

With AmBank’s nod for the Electronic Bank Confirmation Platform run by AppAsia, the market capitalisation of home grown banks who have joined the Platform has now ballooned to well over RM170 billion. (Click here to view the list).
