INFOPRO participated in the Reinvent Forum Kuala Lumpur 2026, joining banking, insurance, fintech, and regulatory leaders, including representatives from Malaysia’s National AI Office (NAIO), in discussions on the growing role of AI in financial services and the continued evolution of Islamic banking.
The forum explored AI-native banking strategies, intelligent decision-making, data-driven operations, and connected digital ecosystems alongside Islamic banking transformation. Within these discussions, INFOPRO shared perspectives on strengthening financing decisions, operational visibility, and ecosystem-driven banking experiences.
Strengthening Decision Confidence in Islamic Banking
Eng Kok Chong, CEO of INFOPRO, addressed the role of decision-making in shaping growth within Islamic banking. While demand across retail and SME segments remains steady, many applications fall into uncertain risk categories, making consistent assessment more complex within existing processes.
Operational progress across the banking lifecycle has developed at different speeds. Customer-facing channels have improved significantly, with faster onboarding and enhanced digital experiences. At the same time, credit assessment, risk evaluation, and processing often continue to operate across fragmented workflows, affecting both turnaround time and decision consistency.
Islamic banking introduces additional layers through documentation, structuring, and compliance requirements, which require closer coordination across systems. A more connected approach to the financing lifecycle brings greater visibility across application, assessment, and monitoring, enabling institutions to manage these complexities more effectively.
With data and analytics supporting each stage, financial institutions are better positioned to make informed decisions while maintaining alignment with Shariah principles and operational requirements.
Advancing Toward Connected Digital Ecosystems
Dato’ Matthew Chuah, Executive Director and Strategic Advisor, contributed to the Islamic Finance Leaders Roundtable with a focus on connected digital ecosystems.
Across the industry, digital initiatives continue to expand across different functions, often evolving within separate systems. This creates challenges in aligning data, processes, and workflows, particularly as institutions scale their digital capabilities.
A connected ecosystem brings these elements into a more cohesive structure, enabling institutions to align internal operations with external partners and platforms. This supports a more coordinated flow of services, data, and interactions across the financial landscape. Within Islamic finance, this model enables Shariah compliance to be integrated more closely within operational processes. Real-time visibility across transactions and workflows supports consistency, transparency, and governance as institutions adapt to changing customer needs.
With AI and data capabilities embedded within these ecosystems, institutions can enhance accessibility, extend services across markets, and operate more effectively within an interconnected financial environment.
