Case Study: MNRB Holdings Berhad cuts verification time and secures systems with Kong

MNRB Reduces Costs and Secures Its Systems with Kong

MNRB Holdings Berhad, a Malaysian financial services company, wanted to modernize its technology stack and become API-first while improving security, governance, and customer verification across systems. The company needed a way to scale well-designed APIs efficiently and cost-effectively, and turned to Kong for API management and gateway capabilities.

Using Kong Enterprise Gateway and Kong’s developer portal/API catalog, MNRB connected front-end and back-end systems, strengthened protection with security features such as OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, and laid the groundwork for microservices and better API governance. The impact was dramatic: customer verification time dropped from more than 3 days to milliseconds, overhead costs were reduced, and MNRB improved time to market and overall service resilience.
