PropertyGuru and Malaysia’a Maybank have teamed up to form a unique partnership within Southeast Asia which will see the region’s leading property website group provide its property content, listings and news to users of Maybank’s Property Finder app.
The app, launched on April 15, aims to help prospective buyers search for properties, either to buy, sell or rent, within their preferred location or price range to suit their financial profile.
Research has shown that in Asia alone, digital banking consumers are predicted to grow from 670 million in 2012 to 1.7 billion in 2020. About 40 percent of mass affluent customers now prefer online or mobile banking, and among those under 40-years-old, around half prefer digital banking.
Mohamed Adam Wee, Group Chief Marketing Officer for Maybank, said: “We believe the app will bring great convenience to property buyers. The features are designed with the user in mind, and powered by the extensive property listing database of our partner, PropertyGuru, we are certain that users will be able to find the property of their dreams.”
DDproperty,com (Thailand) and Rumah.com (Indonesia) are integral parts of the PropertyGuru Group which also includes Singapore and Malaysia.
