MoneyHero Group Appoints Rohith Murthy Chief Executive Officer
Company’s Chief Business Officer elevated to CEO post, effective immediately
SINGAPORE, Feb. 23, 2024 – MoneyHero Limited (Nasdaq: MNY) (“MoneyHero” or the “Company”), a market-leading personal finance aggregation and comparison platform in Greater Southeast Asia, today announced the appointment of Rohith Murthy as its new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), effective immediately. Prior to his appointment to CEO, Mr. Murthy served as MoneyHero’s Chief Business Officer, a role he assumed earlier this year following consistent promotions over the course of his nearly ten-year tenure with the Company.
“On behalf of the Board, I want to congratulate Rohith, who is the right person to lead the Company forward, on this well-deserved appointment,” said Kenneth Chan, Board Chair and Director with MoneyHero. “Rohith’s deep understanding of digital finance, his proven leadership and longstanding track record with the Company, and his vision for using technology to improve our platform make him the ideal leader to guide us through the next phase of growth and innovation.”
As the longest-serving executive at MoneyHero, Mr. Murthy has been instrumental in the vision and development of the Company’s enterprise-wide operations. Among his many contributions, he is credited with developing the SingSaver brand in Singapore, spearheading the innovative B2B platform, Creatory, and leading the transformative shift in product and technology. Under his leadership, Creatory now contributes significantly to the Company’s revenue, showcasing Mr. Murthy’s exceptional capability in integrating product, technology, sales, and marketing to drive success.
“It is an incredible honor to lead MoneyHero,” said Mr. Murthy. “This Company has accomplished so much in my nearly ten years here, and we still have significant growth opportunities in front of us. To seize them, we will focus sharply, move faster, and foster a culture of high performance and diversity. Our goal is to dramatically increase the value for our users, partners, creators, and shareholders, collectively transforming the financial services industry in Southeast Asia and beyond.”
This appointment follows the resignation of Prashant Aggarwal, the Company’s former CEO, effective February 20, 2024. Mr. Aggarwal will remain available to MoneyHero in an advisory capacity following his departure.
“We want to thank Prashant for his many years of dedication and contributions to this business during a transformative era at MoneyHero,” said Derek Fong, Board Director with MoneyHero. “Under his leadership, MoneyHero has reached new heights, growing from a seed stage start-up into a U.S. publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq. His significant contributions have helped make MoneyHero into the dominant consumer finance platform of choice throughout Southeast Asia. We remain grateful for his time here and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

“Leading MoneyHero from an early-stage start-up eight years ago and taking it public last year has been an incredible journey and I take immense pride in our collective achievements,” said Mr. Aggarwal. “As I transition from my role as CEO, I want to thank the exceptional individuals across the Company for their unwavering dedication and hard work throughout the years. My deepest appreciation also goes out to our stakeholders for their steadfast support. MoneyHero is now a true market leader and well-positioned for future success. I remain committed to collaborating closely with Rohith and the Board to facilitate a seamless transition, while also maintaining my support for MoneyHero as a customer, shareholder, and enthusiastic advocate.”
