Cashku, a digital financial planning platform in Malaysia, has concluded a strategic investment round, securing RM 10 million (US$2.4 million).
The investors include Tunku Zain Al-‘Abidin Tuanku Muhriz, former Securities Commission Chairman Datuk Ali Abdul Kadir, 1337 Ventures, and seasoned private equity professionals from the UK.
The capital will be used to expand its digital financial planning services locally. It will also enable the company to enhance its technology, scale its outreach, and continue to develop its platform.
Cashku combines digital advisory, goal-setting, and execution into one single platform. Locals can consolidate their unit trust portfolios, managed funds, and retirement plans.

Raevendren Ramachandran, co-founder and CEO of Cashku, said: “Our mission truly is to ensure every Malaysian has a financial plan in place and help them execute it, thereby empowering them on their path to financial freedom.”
The investment arrives amid a rapidly accelerating global digital wealth market, with significant developments highlighting its strength. For example, Japan’s largest bank MUFG recently acquired Wealthnavi, a leading robo-advisory platform, for over US$660 million. At the time of the transaction, Wealthnavi’s assets under management (AUM) were approximately US$8.7 billion, reflecting a transaction value of roughly 8 per cent of AUM.
These global market trends demonstrate strong momentum and investor confidence in the digital wealth sector. According to Cashku, this environment aligns perfectly with its trajectory as it prepares to raise its Series A funding round.
