Gaming company Razer Inc. will stick with a strategy of expanding into digital-banking services, undeterred by its failure to win a license in Singapore following a closely-watched contest.

Razer will push on with a plan to roll out Razer Youth Bank, targeting millennials in countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines, Razer Fintech Chief Executive Officer Lee Li Meng said in a statement. Other markets may include Europe, the Mideast or Latin America, where regulators are supportive, he said.
