Ramai tak sedar yang satu owner boleh kawal banyak syarikat secara tersembunyi.
Atas kertas nampak berbeza, tapi belakang tabir semuanya berkait. Sebab tu semakan syarikat & partner bisnes sangat penting sebelum bekerjasama.

As financial crime risks become more sophisticated, insurers are being challenged to strengthen how they approach UBO due diligence and compliance visibility.​

In Malaysia’s insurance market, evolving expectations from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) are driving broader conversations around transparency, ownership structures, and the need for more contextual risk assessment in compliance workflows.​

Handshakes and S&P Capital IQ Pro are bringing together connected intelligence and ownership data to support a more comprehensive approach to compliance and risk visibility.​

15 years in, and one thing remains clear: strong businesses are built by strong people.​

As we celebrated our 15th anniversary, we also reflected on the culture we continue to build across teams and offices. From shared moments over popcorn, milk tea, and ice cream favourites to sustainability initiatives inspired by Earth Day, the celebration went beyond just marking a milestone.​

Through donating pre-loved items, recycling e-waste, and giving used laptops a second life through an internal garage sale, we were reminded that small actions can still create meaningful impact.​

Here’s to the people behind the journey, and to continuing to build workplaces that connect, care, and create value beyond business.​

Following S&P's recent stop in Manila, Handshakes continued the conversation at the S&P Global Market Intelligence Data & Research Roadshow in Kuala Lumpur — where the focus shifted from why AI matters to how organisations operationalise it at scale.​

At the session, our Director of Commercial Strategy, Wenya Poh, shared her perspective on how organisations can better translate data into action.​​

A few key themes from the discussion​
- Strong data foundation remains critical – clean, structured, connected across jurisdictions and data types​
- Collaboration across industry research experts and data companies enables unique value and insights​
- AI adoption begins with leadership setting the tone and structure - policy and governance​
- Trust between human and machine, supported by infrastructure and workflow allowing for result monitoring and human intervention are essential​

​Great discussions and practical insights shared across the session.

We mark a strategic milestone with the signing of an MOU between Takaful Malaysia and Handshakes Technology (Malaysia) —introducing a first-of-its-kind technology deployment within Malaysia’s takaful and insurance sector.​​

As regulatory expectations intensify, this collaboration shifts compliance from manual checks to continuous, intelligence-led risk management. By delivering corporate intelligence seamlessly via API integration, Takaful Malaysia Am gains clearer visibility into UBO structures and risk signals. ​

Aligned with Bank Negara Malaysia policy requirements, this strengthens AML/CFT practices and advances UBO transparency— reinforcing compliance as a strategic, data-driven capability.​​
