History

Versa was founded in 2019 by Teoh Wei Xiang, Richmond Yau, and Nelson Wong.[2] The company obtained its RMO license from the Securities Commission Malaysia to distribute capital market products digitally.[1]

In January 2021, the company launched its first product, in partnership with Affin Hwang Asset Management (now AHAM Capital).[3] In September 2022, the company announced it had secured an eight-figure funding round. This round included participation from OSK Ventures International Berhad and the Hibiscus Fund, a venture capital fund managed by RHL Ventures and South Korea's KB Investment.[4]

In March 2025, Versa completed a Series A funding round totaling RM30 million. The round was led by AHAM Capital and included investments from individuals such as Tengku Fahad Mua'adzam Shah.[5] Following these rounds, the company announced a target of reaching one million registered users by 2027.[5]

In 2026, the company stated its objective to reach profitability by the fiscal year 2027.[6]
