The collaboration enables clients of Maybank 麻豆传媒 to earn a portion of the fees paid by borrowers of securities and unlock the potential to monetise 鈥渙therwise idle assets鈥�.
In addition, it allows Maybank 麻豆传媒 to enhance the investment opportunities available to its retail clients, providing share lending capabilities, the firms say.
