Enhanced App Performance with Super App for Financial Services

In Malaysia, Sabah Credit Corporation (SCC), a statutory body fully owned by the Sabah State Government has extended its collaboration leveraging Alibaba Cloud’s Enterprise Mobile Application Studio (EMAS) Superapp solution, a full-stack platform for building Super Apps and related ecosystems.

The solution has allowed SCC to consolidate all three applications – YONO Finance (SCC’s core financing app), Sabah Pay, and YONOPay (consumers’ e-wallet) – under this platform into a single mobile touchpoint, called YONO. This has effectively enabled SCC to reduce technical obstacles and speed up time-to-market for its Super App development, collaborate with third-party partners seamlessly to create mini-apps, and efficiently manage mini-app lifecycles at minimal cost through centralised app management.

George Taitim Tulas, CEO of SCC said: “We are committed to empowering users to stay ahead across the ever-changing financial landscape with Alibaba Cloud’s proven technology. With Sabah Pay’s success as our foundation, we’re determined to take this partnership to new heights.”
