Subsidiary Operations Suspended
Currenc Group has immediately suspended the active business operations of its Indonesian digital payments subsidiary, PT Walletku Indompet Indonesia (WalletKu).
-
Reasons for Suspension
The suspension is due to an ongoing lack of working capital and the permanent forfeiture of WalletKu's commercial status as an Authorized Indosat Distributor, following a 46.9% decline in local airtime revenues to US$7.7 million and a net loss of US$0.45 million in FY2025.
-
Strategic Refocus
This move is part of a strategic restructuring to eliminate a drag on consolidated group profitability and redirect capital towards the company's high-growth AI and Web3 verticals.
-
Settlement of Liabilities
Currenc Group has authorized up to US$150,000 to be deployed through September 2026 for the settlement of WalletKu's employee severance liabilities and outstanding third-party debts.
Analysis · CURR · Trade & Services
This filing details a significant strategic decision by Currenc Group to cease operations of a loss-making subsidiary, WalletKu. While the immediate closure of a business unit is a negative event, the company explicitly states this is to improve overall group loss metrics and to refocus resources on its higher-growth AI and Web3 initiatives. This aligns with recent announcements, such as the appointment of a Venture Partner for Web3 and AI, indicating a clear strategic pivot. The financial impact of the closure itself (a $0.45M loss and $150k in settlement costs) is relatively small for a company of this market cap, suggesting the primary importance is the strategic direction rather than the immediate financial hit.
