## Summary

MoneyMax is modernising pawnbroking through changes to its shops, digital services and localised formats, while keeping pawn loans at the centre of its business. Its drive-through outlets in Malaysia let customers have valuables assessed and receive funds without leaving their vehicles, reflecting the company’s effort to respond to customers’ needs for convenience, privacy and security.

Founded in 2008, MoneyMax now operates more than 140 stores in Singapore and Malaysia. It entered Malaysia in 2014 and has expanded its drive-through model, first tested in Johor, to more than 20 outlets across Peninsular Malaysia; some stores also adapt their design to local tastes, such as Peranakan themes in Melaka. The company has also introduced app-based loan payments and established an Islamic financing division as it diversifies.
