Grab is a leading super app in Southeast Asia, offering everything from ride-hailing to food delivery, grocery services, and digital payments. The company went public via a $40B SPAC in 2021, but its stock has since dropped 64% as it works toward profitability. Still, growth hasn't slowed; revenue rose 19% in 2024, and its digital bank, GXS, now holds $1.2 billion in deposits.

It's no unibody crossover. The capable body-on-frame Lexus GX 550 is all-new and ready to conquer tough terrain, tow up to 9,000 pounds or deliver a family of seven to the movies. The tough looking sheetmetal rides on a new fully boxed frame architecture that's shared with Tundra, Tacoma and big brother LX. The V8 is gone. Until the hybrid powertrain arrives, all GXs get their motivation from a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 that pumps out 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque mated to a 10-speed automatic. Tom Voelk travels to Tucson, AZ to drive a GX 550 Premium + model in Nightfall Mica.
MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Today we're going to talk about a digital bank that is backed by two of Singapore's technology and telecommunications powerhouses Grab and Singtel. You might have guessed by now that we're talking about GXS Bank. Launched in August 2022, GXS was positioned to address the pain points of Singapore's underserved consumers such as gig economy workers, self-employed entrepreneurs and early jobbers in meeting their saving goals. GXS said this was done through its products offerings such as daily interest crediting which was new to the industry at the time, helping its consumers, who may be more cash-strapped with their cash flows. The bank started out two years ago by targeting users across the Grab and Singtel ecosystem, which rounded up to a potential market of about 3 million customers here in Singapore. Its products, like its flagship savings account, were also only limited for selected Grab and Singtel customers, with a deposit cap of S$5,000 due to regulatory reasons. The product, however, was opened up to new customers in July 2023 and the cap was also raised after a review by authorities. So how far has that bolstered GXS Bank's customer acquisition, and levelled the playing field between digital banks and traditional players? Also – how far has its positioning reaped financial benefits? Meanwhile, Grab had in January this year injected S$145.1 million into GXS Bank. Both Grab and Singtel are also set to put in a further S$229.5 million into the digital bank in Q3 this year. But what were the reasons behind the move and how does GXS Bank intend to use the money? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Muthukrishnan Ramaswami, Group Chief Executive Officer, GXS Bank.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not many CDOs get to enter a new role with a clean slate. But Geraldine Wong, CDO for GXS Bank in Singapore did just that. In this episode of The Data Chief, she explains how the bank has built a foundation of data literacy by providing employees the right tools, access, and knowledge to put data at the forefront of their workflow. This culture of education and understanding establishes trust, empowers departments to “self-serve” data for better productivity, and ultimately leads to stronger understanding of data for customers and employees alike.Tune in to learn:Starting from a “clean slate” as a CDO (1:32)GXS's role and purpose as a new bank (3:49)Data security and consumer privacy (9:47)The GXS Bank data strategy (14:46)Using generative AI to improve data fluency (20:27)Advantages and disadvantages of being fully in the cloud (26:48)How higher education can better prepare workers for digital transformation (29:32)Why Singapore is a global leader in data literacy (37:24)Mentions:Data Protection TrustmarkSyntelGrabPersonal Data Protection CommissionIMDA Certification BodyGoogle PaLM 2Get even more insights from data and analytics leaders like Geraldine on The Data Chief.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
We want to talk about the banking sector and in particular the digital banking sector which has gained traction in recent years. You may be familiar with Grab and Singtel's GXS, Sea Group's MariBank, as well as Standard Chartered and FairPrice Group backed Trust Bank. Aside from these banks catering to retail customers, Singapore also has two wholesale digital banks, namely Ant Group's ANEXT Bank and Green Link Digital Bank, catering to SMEs and non-retail customers. But what is the wholesale banking landscape right now, and how are industry players positioning themselves to gain a foothold in this field? What do the recent volatilities in the banking sector mean for wholesale banks targeting SMEs? On Under the Radar, Drive TIme's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Su Mei Toh, CEO, ANEXT Bank for more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Es scheint, als würde die Welt immer grauer - buchstäblich. Datenerhebungen deutend darauf hin, dass menschengemachte Objekte an Farbe verlieren. Autos, Häuser, Möbel, Kleidung, Logos sind anscheinend immer öfter weiß, schwarz oder grau, anstatt bunt. Und auch wenn Farbe im Spiel ist, kommt sie meist dezent und nicht knallig daher. Dieser Trend heißt Greige, eine Mischung aus grau und beige. Und er macht auch vor Kinderzimmern keinen Halt. Auch in Katalogen tragen Babys mittlerweile öfter beige als bunt. In dieser Folge fragen wir uns: Warum entscheiden wir uns immer öfter für die Farblosigkeit? Zum einen assoziieren wir greige mit Luxus: Grau und cremefarbene Einrichtung gilt als schick und klassisch. Aber das kommt nicht von ungefähr. Diese Ästhetik ist unter anderem von Klassismus, Sexismus und Rassismus geprägt (Plus falscher Annahmen über die Antike).Zum anderen halten wir greige für beruhigend und neutral. Ist das verschwinden von Farben also eine Reaktion auf die gesellschaftliche Überstimulation und der politischen Angespanntheit? Jetzt reinhören!

My next guest is Chris Beall, CEO of ConnectAndSell, Inc. who is a case study in drinking your own champagne. He is here to talk about using his own platform to build his business and the breakthroughs that he discovered to make the platform more effective for him and of course the customers that use it.Chris Beall takes us through his journey building the ConnectAndSell business model starting with his “Wartime” stance to pioneering better pipelines and finally inventing the next generation of technology that cannibalizes his first generation. His biggest breakthrough was going from demo to test drive where customers get to experience the thrill of having actual sales success in a day-long, on premise, session. Every CEO can learn how to increase sales team performance by listening to this interview with Chris. Highlights:2:10 So everyone out there who's saying cold calling is dead, cold calling is not dead2:27 You don't want to pay your reps to be phone jockeys14:13 "Look, there's two kind of CEOs. There's peacetime CEOs and wartime CEOs, and you better know which one you are."14:49 We got going pretty fast and started making lots of sales. Then we focused on making a sales machine and finally made the breakthrough “The Test Drive”18:44 I don't believe that it's possible to figure out what to do until you're doing something and feeling the pain of it not working.20:41 To me, something that's not done in anger is not done at all. So that's our test drive. We do 500 of them a year.23:57 So what the question on the table really is, what's it going to be like to work together to solve thisproblem? 25:02 Your competition right now, today, tomorrow, the next day, and forever is to do nothing!27:01 Well, we need to experience what our customers are experiencing. So let's organize like they're organizing even though we don't like it.28:05 There is no such thing as a person who talks, listens, reads, writes, and does data who isn't a CEO or a future CEO.31:14 Rescheduling (missed sales calls) is your number one source of new business.33:36 The idea of the lone wolf salesperson who's not part of the machine is just not part of our company.34:41 We establish status alignment with somebody that we're their peer, and then we need to let them feel comfortable that we're an expert, and then we need to give them a piece of advice about what the next thing is to do.38:27 So once a test drive has happened, the conversion rate is about 37%. 40:31… the enterprise is not that person you're talking to, it's this big dynamic beast that's going to reorg once a year. 41:19 Everything's renewals, everything's upsell, everything's the future.So how do you start in a way that establishes, for sure, that value is being deliveredAbout Our GuestFor thepast 30 years, Chris Beall has participated in softwarestart-ups as a founder or at a very early stage of development.

Michelle Covey is the Vice President of Partnerships at GS1 US, a company that improves supply chain visibility and efficiency through GS1 Standards. GS1 US is also responsible for issuing Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and Universal Product Codes (UPCs) to brands. In her role at GS1 US, Michelle manages external partner relationships and programs designed to support efficient and accurate GS1 Standards implementation. Prior to joining GS1 US, Michelle worked as a Project Manager for both GXS and Inovis, where she handled operational efficiency and strategy roadmap initiatives. Michelle has a proven track record in product analysis, market launch, leadership, and more in the services and software industries. In this episode… Why are UPCs and GTINs so important for Amazon sellers? According to Michelle Covey of GS1 US, not only do these codes help brands ensure compliance with Amazon's ever-changing policies, but they also help customers accurately identify an online product's information. Because of this, UPCs and GTINs are essential for providing a valuable customer experience on Amazon and other e-commerce platforms. However, in order to reap their benefits, it is important that sellers obtain these codes from the right source. Buying a UPC or GTIN from eBay or other third-party sellers could result in stolen, recycled, or fraudulent codes. As Michelle says, the best way to avoid any negative impacts to your product listings is to seek help from GS1 US. Michelle Covey, the Vice President of Partnerships at GS1 US, joins James Thomson in this week's episode of the Buy Box Experts podcast to talk about the ins and outs of Universal Product Codes (UPCs) and Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) on Amazon. They discuss the benefits of obtaining these codes as a private label seller, how GS1 US works to remove hijacked UPC codes, and Michelle's thoughts on the future of innovation and standardization on Amazon. Stay tuned.
