Hong kong: MoneyHero Limited (MoneyHero), a platform utilizing technology and artificial intelligence for personal finance aggregation and comparison, reported a revenue of US$15.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, marking a 13 percent decrease from the previous year.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the company experienced a shift from a net profit of US$0.2 million a year ago to a net loss of US$1.2 million in Q2 2026. This downturn is mainly attributed to foreign exchange differences, which transitioned from a US$3.0 million gain to a US$0.1 million loss.

Meanwhile, the total transaction value remained unchanged at US$20.9 million, and cash rewards to platform users surged by 77 percent YoY to US$5.1 million. This increase in cash rewards is part of the strategy to attract higher-intent customers, with Hong Kong and Singapore identified as key markets.
Revenue from Wealth and Insurance products, which are higher-margin, increased to US$4.7 million, accounting for 30 percent of total revenue, up from 27 percent the previous year. Conversely, revenue from Credit Cards fell by 18 percent YoY to US$8.9 million.

Technology costs saw a significant reduction of 50 percent YoY to US$0.5 million, which MoneyHero credited to ongoing platform consolidation and AI-driven automation of engineering and operational workflows.
