A digital bank, a S$1.3 billion war chest - and a big question: can a newcomer really change how Singaporeans save, invest and bank.

Michelle speaks with Natalia Goh, CEO of MariBank, on how a digital-first model is reshaping everyday finance.

Backed by Sea Limited and licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, MariBank has rapidly grown its investment offerings to over S$1.3 billion in AUM.

We unpack how the Lion - MariBank SavePlus Fund works, what investors should know about short-term bonds and capital preservation, and how gold investing fits into a digital wallet for this bank's customers.

Natalia also explains fixed deposit rates, the rationale behind the S$100,000 deposit cap, and what safety looks like in a digital bank.

Finally, we ask the big question for savers and investors alike: is putting your money with a digital bank worth a thought?

Money and Me: Can MariBank help you grow your money?

If AI can replace junior lawyers overnight, what does that mean for your portfolio tomorrow?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, with guest Arun Pai, Associate Partner, Monk’s Hill Ventures  we unpack how an AI model from Anthropic is unsettling legal firms and deepening the AI scare trade across tech markets.

Why did billions evaporate in a single session - was it panic, or a recognition that business models are being rewritten?

We explore whether value now lies in proprietary data, ecosystem dominance, or AI infrastructure control.
In Asia, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani and Larry Fink of BlackRock are urging Indians to pivot from gold into domestic equities - could this fuel a 1990s-style retail boom?

We assess India’s growth outlook and whether capital rotation signals explosive expansion ahead.
