Best Buy International Expands Imports with Moby Money’s B2B Financing Solution

Petaling Jaya, 22 December 2025 – Moby Money Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian fintech specialising in B2B and SME financing, is proud to announce its successful collaboration with Best Buy International Sdn. Bhd., a leading local importer of food and beverage products from the Middle East. Through this partnership, Moby’s cashflow-based flexible financing has enabled Best Buy International to expand its product portfolio, strengthen supplier relationships, and achieve sustainable growth; all while overcoming the barriers often faced with traditional bank loans.

Roland Low, Director of Best Buy International, shared his experience: “It’s very difficult to deal with banks—the process takes much longer, and there are restrictions, such as the age of the director. I’m already above 70, so it has become a little difficult. Moby Money comes in very handy. No fuss. As long as the business is viable and profitable, we have no issue working with Moby to fund our purchases.”

With Moby’s support, Best Buy International has:

  • Continued importing food and beverage products from Azerbaijan and Turkey, while
    carefully managing demand and working capital.
  • Maintained disciplined cash flow by aligning each shipment with confirmed
    customer demand.
  • Paid suppliers promptly, resulting in faster delivery timelines and stronger supplier
    trust.

Roland added: “Suppliers are happy to know that we can now make more purchases and, because Moby funds us, we’re able to pay them promptly. As a result, goods are delivered on time.”

Rian Phillip, CEO of Moby Money Sdn. Bhd., commented on the collaboration: “Our mission at Moby is to put merchants first by removing the barriers that often prevent good businesses from accessing the financing they need. Many established merchants are profitable and well‑run, yet remain underserved by traditional funding models. Best Buy International’s journey shows how flexible, merchant‑centric financing can help businesses expand responsibly, strengthen supplier relationships, and serve their customers with confidence. As a Malaysian fintech, we understand these challenges firsthand, and we are proud to support merchants navigating today’s competitive market.”
