XCEPTOR-JOINT STUDY: CAPITAL MARKETS EMBRACE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AMID MANUAL HURDLES

KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) -- A new report conducted by Xceptor in partnership with Crisil Coalition Greenwich has unveiled how firms across the capital markets landscape are rethinking their operational strategies in response to growing complexity, rising trade volumes, and evolving regulatory demands.

Xceptor Chief Executive Officer, Michiel Verhoeven emphasised the growing pressure on firms to modernise, especially with new regulatory shifts like T+1 and the European Union’s Faster Initiative.

“The Crisil Coalition Greenwich report confirms what we continue to witness firsthand in the industry: getting data right through automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is a top priority for all industry participants.

“Firms that embrace market collaboration will be best placed to accelerate ready-to-trade, ready-to-settle and ready-to-report processes through automation and AI,” he said in a statement.

The report stated that nearly 90 per cent of respondents believe digital transformation will enhance operational efficiency, yet fewer than one-third (28 per cent) say it is broadly supported within their organisations, and one in 10 indicated no support from their organisation.

In addition, the most often cited obstacles are legacy systems (57 per cent), cost concerns (56 per cent), and manual data entry (39 per cent), while improving data capture and transformation is a top focus, with more than half of the firms planning to invest in workflow automation within the next year and a similar percentage already having done so in the past 12 months.

Titled “Operational efficiency is driving digital transformation in capital markets”, the report also unveiled that up to five different platforms are used to cover asset classes, with 95 per cent of respondents saying that no single platform can cover them all, leading to disjointed workflows and data silos.

Manual processes continue to dominate middle- and back-office operations, particularly in regulatory reporting, client onboarding, and trade reconciliation. These inefficiencies contribute significantly to operational risk and cost, with many firms setting aside up to five per cent of annual capital to manage exception handling.

AI adoption in the industry remains cautious. While 60 per cent of respondents see AI as important to their transformation strategy, nearly one-quarter believe it is not important. Another 43 per cent plan to adopt AI within two years, while 23 per cent have no plans at all.

Surveyed over 70 C-suite and senior leaders from capital markets firms across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia Pacific, the study offers a clear view into how firms are responding to rapidly changing data requirements and where the biggest opportunities for transformation lie.

John Tait, Global Managing Director, TNS Payments Market and Ganesh Satkunalingam, Vice President - Southeast Asia, TNS Payments Market attend the opening of TNS' new office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 (Bernama) -- Transaction Network Services (TNS), a global provider of full-stack, modern and secure payment and network solutions, has opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, underscoring its commitment to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and continued global expansion.

The new facility, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s City Centre (KLCC), will serve as a strategic hub for TNS’ Complete Commerce offering—a platform that enables seamless transaction acceptance across terminals and online, connects retail systems via managed network services, and routes payments through a cloud-native orchestration engine to any payment processor.

“By investing in and building its Operations and Shared Services Center in Malaysia, TNS is reinforcing its support structure in APAC for customers in both the country and region.

“We want our customers to have the confidence that we are closer to them in the market. With a long history in the region, we are delighted that Malaysia will play a central role in our long-term global strategy with a 24x7 Network Operations Center (NOC),” said TNS Global Managing Director of Payments Market, John Tait in a statement.

Meanwhile, TNS Vice President Southeast Asia of Payments Market, Ganesh Satkunalingam emphasised the company’s steady growth over the past 12 years through workforce expansion and service development, noting that the new hub reinforces TNS’ long-term commitment to meeting the dynamic needs of customers across APAC.

The new Kuala Lumpur office currently houses more than 50 employees across multiple functions—ranging from Sales and Engineering to Network Operations and Finance—with continued growth expected. The team is primarily composed of local talent, many of whom joined through employee referrals, a testament to the company’s strong internal culture.

The grand opening, held on June 11, was led by Tait and attended by customers, employees, and regional stakeholders. The ceremony featured a ribbon cutting, product demonstrations, and a guided tour of the company’s new state-of-the-art NOC, enabling real-time, round-the-clock service delivery to customers globally.

TNS first entered the Malaysian market in 2013 to serve a single global payments client. Since then, the company has experienced double-digit growth and now supports a diverse customer base, including acquirers, financial institutions, independent ATM deployers (IADs), retailers, and fuel providers both locally and internationally.

TNS’ expansion comes as digital payment systems continue to accelerate across APAC. The company’s Kuala Lumpur hub is designed to support both regional and global clients with high-availability, secure solutions that meet the demands of today’s fast-moving payments landscape.

Framery Marks 15 Years Of Innovation In Soundproof Office Pod Industry

KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 (Bernama) -- Framery, a global leader in soundproof office solutions, is celebrating its 15th anniversary, marking a decade and a half since the company pioneered the office pod, a concept that has since transformed workspaces worldwide.

Established in 2010 in Finland, Framery was founded by chief executive officer Samu Hällfors and a colleague who were frustrated by the constant distractions in their open-plan office.

Their boss’s loud phone calls sparked the idea that led to the development of the world’s first commercial office pod. With no such solutions available at the time, the pair built a prototype in their garage—playfully dubbed "Pömpeli", meaning “box” in Finnish—which would go on to launch an industry.

According to a statement, that prototype became the world’s first commercial office pod, launching a new product category and laying the foundation for Framery.

The company continued to expand its product line, with notable innovations including the 2013 launch of the Framery O, the first pod to achieve a 30-decibel speech reduction — a model that remains a top seller globally.

Over the past 15 years, Framery has evolved from a startup to a key player in office acoustics, with its pods now used in over 100 countries.

Approximately 70 per cent of Forbes Top 100 companies, including Nvidia, Puma, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Microsoft, use Framery products to enhance workplace productivity and privacy.

Last year, the company introduced the industry’s first smart pod, integrating digital capabilities to support hybrid work environments.

These next-generation pods combine Framery’s hallmark acoustic privacy with smart features aimed at improving usability, space management, and employee wellbeing.

As Framery celebrates this milestone, the company remains committed to leading the way in office design innovation—continuing to redefine how work gets done in shared spaces worldwide.

INFLUENCER TEARDOWNS HIGHLIGHT MIDEA’S ROLE IN GLOBAL AC SUPPLY CHAIN

KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- Chinese company Midea, the world’s largest producer of residential inverter air conditioners (ACs), has drawn attention to its self-developed inverter compressor following teardown reviews of ACs by influencers in Malaysia and Thailand, which have sparked widespread discussion.

Many viewers were surprised to discover that top Japanese brands like Panasonic and Daikin use Guangdong Meizhi Compressor Company (GMCC) compressors—a core component manufactured by Midea.

Malaysian tech DIYer Berani Buat disassembled units from both brands, uncovering the GMCC label and surprising viewers who expected Japanese-made core components, while Thai influencers including Daddy Tips, Lungchang, BT Beartai, and Extreme IT echoed similar findings, showcasing how the GMCC compressor plays a central role in cooling performance.

In a statement, Midea said these reviews challenge perceptions of brand origin and highlight its role not just as a supplier but as a global innovator in air conditioning, quietly powering ACs with cutting-edge compressor technology.

Often referred to as the “heart” of an AC, the compressor is the most critical component in an air conditioning system, directly influencing cooling efficiency and energy consumption, whereby inverter technology optimises the compressor's speed according to room temperature fluctuations.

Midea’s self-developed inverter compressor delivers up to 50 per cent energy savings over traditional models and 20 per cent over standard inverters, and its artificial intelligence algorithm analyses indoor temperatures to reduce fluctuations, boosting comfort and efficiency.

Furthermore, Midea’s advanced compressor and inverter technology deliver strong cooling, quiet performance, and energy efficiency ideal for Southeast Asia’s hot climate, as Midea ACs feature Prime Guard with seven key protections, designed for regional challenges.

The company’s technological leadership has gained global recognition, serving over 400 million users in 200 countries. It has exported 8.3 million inverter ACs to Southeast Asia in 2022, hence contributing significantly to regional growth.

This implementation will replace Capricorn Mutual’s incumbent legacy technology stack, enabling enhanced coverage offerings and experiences for Capricorn’s 30,000 small and medium auto business members.

With their auto-trade members operating in a dynamic and high-risk environment, Capricorn Mutual needed a core delivery solution that supported their strategy of deepening relationships with members, uplifting processes to deliver best-in-class experiences, and continually improving products, services and risk management.

SEON Accelerates APAC Growth Amid Rising Demand for Unified Fraud and AML Solutions

SEON to showcase latest fraud prevention and AML innovations at SiGMA Asia

AUSTIN, Texas and SINGAPORE, May 29 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEON, a global leader in digital fraud prevention and compliance, today announced rapid growth across the Asia-Pacific region, driven by increasing demand for its unified, real-time fraud and AML solutions.

New APAC clients such as Salmon Group Ltd, CryptoGaming.com and Forever Network have adopted SEON’s Know Your User (KYU) and Know Your Customer (KYC) capabilities to navigate escalating fraud risks across the region’s complex digital landscape.

To support this momentum, SEON has expanded its team with technical, sales and support specialists in Singapore and Jakarta, providing clients with localized expertise and faster response times.

“APAC presents both extraordinary opportunity and operational complexity,” said Tamas Kadar, Co-founder and CEO, SEON. “The mix of advanced digital economies and rapidly growing markets creates a fragmented risk environment, and legacy point solutions can’t keep pace. Our unified platform delivers real-time visibility and protection across the entire customer journey.”

As digital threats and regulatory requirements grow throughout the region, businesses face mounting pressure to verify identities, manage payment risk and maintain compliance, without compromising user experience. SEON addresses these challenges with an AI-driven platform that combines digital footprint analysis, device intelligence and real-time analytics to detect and prevent fraud proactively.

"SEON has quickly become one of the most effective and user-friendly fraud detection tools we’ve used to date. Its ability to provide real-time insights, coupled with detailed device tracking and risk scoring, has greatly improved how we identify and respond to suspicious activity,” said Pauline Liu, Compliance Officer, TitanFX. “The platform is user-friendly, making it easy for both new and experienced team members to navigate and act swiftly. SEON has already proven to be a smart and dependable solution for our fraud monitoring needs."

"Our regional clients are increasingly prioritizing fraud prevention platforms that can handle APAC's payment complexity and varied identity verification methods," said Troy Nyi Nyi, Senior Vice President and GM, SEON. "The iGaming, fintech and retail sectors in particular are seeking solutions that can operate across multiple jurisdictions without requiring separate tools for each market, which is why they’re turning to SEON.”

SEON will showcase its latest innovations at SiGMA Asia, taking place June 2-4 in Manila (Booth 1082). During the event, Troy Nyi Nyi, Senior Vice President and GM, SEON, will speak on "Beyond Defense: Leveraging Fraud Prevention as a Competitive Edge," sharing practical insights for iGaming and fintech leaders.
