The two-million-download milestone reflects Moomoo Malaysia’s growing position as one of the country’s leading digital investing platforms.Partnership with the Nicol David Organisation will support up to 500 students through education, sports and investment literacy programmes.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moomoo Securities Malaysia (“Moomoo MY”) today announced that it has surpassed two million downloads in Malaysia as it marks the milestone with a RM100,000 commitment to the Nicol David Organisation (NDO) to support youth education, sports development and investment literacy initiatives for students from underserved communities. The partnership reflects Moomoo Malaysia’s belief that as more Malaysians take their first step towards investing, more young people should have the opportunity to take their first step towards a brighter future.

Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with NDO, Moomoo Malaysia has committed RM100,000 to the Nicol David Organisation to support up to 500 students under NDO’s Smart Mooves programme. The programme is an initiative that provides young people from lower-income communities with access to sports, investment intelligence and personal development support across 20 public secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. For every RM1,000 deposited by a new user, Moomoo Malaysia will contribute RM10 to NDO as part of the initiative.

While retail investing participation in Malaysia continues to grow, young Malaysians remain underrepresented in the investment landscape. According to Bursa Malaysia, investors aged 18 to 35 account for just 20% of the country’s active retail investor base. At the same time, studies have consistently highlighted persistent gaps in financial literacy among younger demographics, reinforcing the need for greater access to education, capability-building and long-term financial empowerment.

Investing in Malaysia’s Youth

This partnership reflects a shared belief between Moomoo Malaysia and the Nicol David Organisation that success — whether in sport, education or investing — is built on strong foundations, discipline, consistency and access to the right opportunities. NDO’s Smart Mooves programme, which focuses on students above 16, is a four-week curriculum that blends physical activity with investment education, equipping participants with essential money management and planning skills from an early age. By investing in young Malaysians today, both organisations hope to nurture a generation that is more confident, capable and prepared to pursue its ambitions.

“Two million downloads is more than a milestone for Moomoo Malaysia. It represents millions of Malaysians taking a step towards building their financial future,” said Indy Lau, Chief Operating Officer of Moomoo Malaysia. “As we celebrate this achievement, we wanted to create something meaningful that gives back to the community that has supported our growth. Through our partnership with the Nicol David Organisation, we hope to help more young Malaysians take their first step towards achieving their own ambitions, regardless of their background or circumstances.”

Founded by eight-time world squash champion Datuk Nicol David and Mariana De Reyes, the Nicol David Organisation is a non-profit foundation dedicated to empowering women, girls and boys through sport, education, mental health and community development. Through programmes such as Smart Mooves, Little Legends and Positive Play (+ Play), NDO supports children and families from underserved communities by providing the skills, knowledge and support systems needed to build brighter futures.

“We are deeply grateful to Moomoo Malaysia for its support of our mission to empower young people and help them realise their full potential,” said Datuk Nicol David, Founder of the Nicol David Organisation. “This partnership will create meaningful opportunities for students and families, while reinforcing the importance of education, resilience and lifelong learning. We look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the communities we serve.”

A Growing Platform for Malaysian Investors

The two-million-download milestone reflects Moomoo Malaysia’s growing position as one of the country’s leading digital investing platforms and highlights the increasing number of Malaysians seeking access to global markets, investing tools and financial education resources.

Today, investors on the Moomoo platform can access a broad range of investment products across multiple markets, including Malaysian stocks, U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, stock options, REITs, warrants and fractional shares. These are complemented by advanced investing tools such as Moomoo AI, Level 2 market data and an active investor community designed to support informed investment decision-making.

The two-million download milestone follows Moomoo Malaysia’s recognition at the Bursa Malaysia Excellence Awards 2025, where it was named Second Runner-Up for Best Retail Equities Participating Organisation (Non-Investment Bank). The recognition reflects the company’s continued efforts to raise the standard of digital investing through technology, education and customer experience.

Recognition marks seventh consecutive quarter Achieve has ranked among the nation’s top lenders for customer satisfaction

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Achieve, the fintech for everyday Americans, has been named one of the Top 3 lenders in personal loan customer satisfaction by LendingTree for the third quarter of 2026. This distinction from one of the nation’s largest online personal finance marketplaces underscores Achieve’s commitment to delivering transparent, supportive, and human-centered financial services.

This marks the seventh consecutive LendingTree customer service award that Achieve has earned, following a top-three ranking in the second quarter of 2026. The quarterly ranking is published by LendingTree, based on verified customer reviews and other data evaluating lenders on transparency, ease of the application process and the quality of customer service. Achieve consistently maintains high ratings for providing consumers with a clear path toward improving their financial health.

“For someone consolidating debt, a personal loan is more than a transaction. It’s an opportunity to improve their finances and move forward with greater confidence,” said Achieve President of Lending Kyle Enright. “Our team helps members understand their options and find the solution that fits their goals by pairing competitive fixed rates with personal guidance. Earning this recognition for a seventh consecutive quarter reflects the care our teammates bring to those conversations and the trust our members place in us.”

This initiative, supported by advanced underwriting and enhanced with FICO® Score 10 T data, maintains access to fixed-rate loans for an expanded set of consumers, with an expected improvement in credit performance. These loans are originated by a bank partner via the Achieve Personal Loans platform.

Key highlights of the Achieve Personal Loan experience:

Competitive, fixed rates: APRs now start as low as 6.25% for qualified borrowers, providing a more affordable alternative to high-interest credit card debt.Rapid funding: Qualified members can have funds sent in as little as 24 hours to address immediate financial needs.Flexible terms: Borrowers can choose repayment schedules ranging from 2, 3, 4 and 5 years to align with their specific budget and goals.Transparent pricing: All loans feature fixed monthly payments and a clear payoff date, with no hidden fees or revolving balances.

The national campaign brings together leading healthcare experts, mental health advocates, organizations, athletes and public figures to encourage more open conversations around men’s mental health and provide accessible, actionable resources for building healthier lives. Featuring Netflix podcaster and internet sensation Jake Shane as the publication’s cover story, the campaign also includes editorial from global influence Howie Mandel, All-Star athlete Kevin Love, Dr. Mark Hyman and author Yung Pueblo, offering personal experiences and expert perspectives on mental health, emotional well-being, resilience and personal growth.

Through personal stories, expert insights and practical resources, the campaign directly challenges the expectation that men should navigate mental health struggles alone while encouraging a more open and supportive approach to overall well-being. “I wish people would take care of their mental health the way we take care of our dental health,” said Howie Mandel. His perspective reflects the campaign’s broader mission to normalize mental health care as an essential part of everyday health and encourage men to prioritize their well-being before they reach a point of crisis.

The campaign was made possible through the participation and support of Vibrant Emotional Health, Financial Therapy Association, NOCD, Spear Center, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, American Association of Kidney Patients, Crisis Text Line, YMCA, One Mind at Work, The Hidden Opponent, Kevin Love Fund, American College of Sports Medicine, Whitman-Walker, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Mark Hyman, Yung Pueblo, Kevin Love, Howie Mandel and Jake Shane.
