iFAST share price steadies near S$11 after ShopeePay Money+ launch sparks a jump

Singapore, Jan 28, 2026, 15:27 SGT — Regular session

  • Shares of iFAST ticked up 0.1% on Wednesday, following a 5.1% surge the day before
  • ShopeePay Malaysia rolled out Money+, an in-app investing tool developed in partnership with iFAST and Eastspring
  • Investors await iFAST’s results on Feb. 12 for a clearer picture of growth and expenses

Shares of iFAST Corporation Ltd edged up 0.1% to S$10.97 by 3:16 p.m. in Singapore, following a 5.1% surge the previous day. The stock hit a high of S$11.06 during the session, with roughly 1.8 million shares changing hands, compared to 3.47 million on Tuesday. ShareInvestor

The move followed ShopeePay’s launch of “Money+” in Malaysia, an investment product created with iFAST Capital and supported by Eastspring Investments’ Islamic money market fund, according to a joint statement. Dennis Tan, CEO of iFAST Malaysia, said the offering is aimed at “idle e-wallet balances.” Eastspring Investments

ShopeePay Malaysia now counts over 2.7 million users, according to The Edge. The partners are promoting Money+ as an easy, low-barrier option, requiring just RM10 to start. Alain Yee from ShopeePay called it “rewarding and simple.” A bonus campaign running from Jan. 27 to April 27 could boost returns up to 6% annually, the report added. The Edge Malaysia

ShopeePay’s help centre notes that Money+ balances are invested in the Eastspring Investments Islamic E‑Duit Fund and shouldn’t be considered e-money or a deposit. Returns may fluctuate, and the balance isn’t covered by Malaysia’s deposit insurer, PIDM. Shopee Help Center

iFAST, a Singapore-listed company, operates a digital banking and wealth management platform distributing investment products across multiple markets. Its revenue depends on fees linked to client assets and transactions, making investors watchful for any indication that new channels might attract fresh funds. Reuters

The key issue right now is scale. A wallet feature can quickly rake in small amounts, but it must maintain momentum after promotions fade.

Early adoption is tough to measure, and “cash-like” returns usually track short-term rates that can drop fast if policy easing picks up pace. A sluggish market can also dampen retail appetite for anything tagged as “investing,” even when the fund itself is low-risk.

Sentiment in Singapore stocks stayed strong as the Straits Times Index hit a fresh record high on Tuesday, according to The Business Times. The Business Times

iFAST is set to report its unaudited financial results for the year ending Dec. 31, 2025, after market close on Feb. 12, according to an SGX filing. links.sgx.com

  • US Stocks Surge on US-Iran Ceasefire as Oil Prices Plunge
    April 9, 2026, 4:48 AM EDT. U.S. stock markets rallied sharply on Wednesday, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 all closing at four-week highs. The gains followed a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, including Iran's pledge to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route. This diplomatic easing sent crude oil prices down over 15% to a 1.5-week low, alleviating inflation concerns and boosting global bond markets. Futures for S&P and Nasdaq indexes also surged. Despite positive market reactions, analysts caution that deeper negotiations continue as Iran has yet to meet U.S. demands on its nuclear program and missile arsenal. Oil remains volatile due to ongoing regional risks, with a significant backlog of ships in the Gulf affecting normal flows.
