Wealthtech Versa Asia’s Origins and Public Mutual Sized Ambitions

Versa is a fintech startup focused on digital distribution and curation of investment products that works with AHAM Capital. The aim - to provide its users with access to savings and investment products in a simplified and digital-first manner.

That said, the wealthtech space is a tough area with slim margins and plenty of competition from robo advisors such as Stashaway, Wahed Invests, and KDI Invests. We speak to Teoh Wei-Xiang, CEO of Versa Asia, for the story behind starting Versa, how they are navigating the competitive landscape and acquiring customers, and what else we can expect to see on the platform in time.
