By GlobalDataWhat does this mean for Dosh customers? Dosh customers can expect Dosh to bring financial products to the Dosh app and digital experience.
The Dosh website currently states: *Dosh is not a registered bank. However, your funds are held at a NZ registered bank. Dosh is a brand of MCA Investments Limited, a registered company in New Zealand and a registered financial services provider.”
Further the Dosh website states that: “Life is for living, not banking.”
If Dosh is successful in its application the first of those statements is inevitably going to change, plus, it may be a bit more flexible on the second.
