FastLane Group has announced a significant advancement in Malaysia’s financial digitalisation through a new partnership with RHB Bank and Xero. This collaboration introduces a fully digital, API-enabled bank feed, allowing businesses to connect their RHB Reflex Premium Plus accounts directly to Xero. This integration enables automatic daily imports across current, multi-currency, credit card, and loan accounts, eliminating the need for manual uploads and reducing reconciliation delays. As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) gain real-time clarity of their financial position.
“This closes the gap between banking and accounting,” said Alex So, Founder of FastLane Group and a Xero Platinum Champion Partner. “Business owners can wake up to absolute clarity—a real-time, accurate view of their cash. No spreadsheets, no delays, no guesswork.”
The partnership signifies a broader shift in Malaysia’s business landscape towards full automation and compliance, aligning with new initiatives like the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia’s (IRBM) e-invoicing mandate. Beyond automation, Alex So emphasises that the integration represents a shift in mindset. “Technology itself is not the goal. The real goal is to enable better decisions,” he explained. “When financial data flows in real time, business owners stop reacting and start planning.”
FastLane’s role extends beyond connecting accounts, offering guided onboarding, data migration, and e-invoicing configuration to ensure businesses fully utilise the technology. “We’ve helped thousands of SMEs move from traditional bookkeeping to intelligent finance,” So noted. “The transformation happens when numbers start speaking—when owners can make confident calls based on up-to-date data instead of waiting for month-end reports.”
This collaboration marks a new era of connectivity in business finance, where banking, accounting, and compliance operate within a single intelligent ecosystem. “This partnership empowers businesses to grow with clarity and confidence,” So concluded. “With automation at the core, finance becomes intelligent, accurate, and fully compliant. It is not just the evolution of accounting but the foundation of smarter, data-driven business.”
