GX Bank Berhad (GXBank) has expanded its GX Business Banking suite with two updates for sole proprietors and small businesses.
The bank is now offering financing of up to RM150,000 through a digital guarantee partnership with CGC Digital, the fintech arm of Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad, and has begun accepting personal bank statements for business account applications and credit assessments.
Banks typically assess loan applications using business financial records, but many sole proprietors manage transactions through personal accounts and may not have a formal business credit history as a result.
The partnership with CGC Digital introduces a digital guarantee built into the GX Biz FlexiLoan application. The guarantee option comes up during the GXBank application itself, so there is no separate process to go through. More than half of eligible customers have already opted in without prompting.
Within the first 30 days of the partnership, GXBank approved more than RM3.3 million in loans under the arrangement. GXBank CEO Kaushik Chowdhury said the collaboration uses alternative data and digital guarantees to support borrowers who may lack traditional business records.
GXBank now accepts personal bank statements for both business account registration and loan applications. Sole proprietors who have been operating through a personal account can use that transaction history to apply.
Once a business account is open and active, transactions begin building a formal credit history. The GX Biz FlexiLoan is a revolving credit line where interest is charged only on the amount drawn down rather than the full approved limit.
RM150,000 is the maximum financing available under the GXBank and CGC Digital arrangement, not a guaranteed amount for every applicant.
GXBank still conducts a full credit assessment for each application, and the CGC Digital guarantee supports access to higher limits rather than replacing the underwriting process. Applicants with limited transaction history or inconsistent income may receive a lower approved amount.
