ACI managing director for Asia Leslie Choo said: “The launch of DuitNow marks a significant milestone in Malaysia’s real-time transformation – one that has required close collaboration not only between ACI and PayNet, but also with more than a dozen member banks that are bringing these new services to the public.”

The two firms gradually intend to launch new payments services such as QR payments, Request-to-Pay, e-Mandates and Real-Time Debit.

PayNet Group CEO Peter Schiesser said: “RPP and DuitNow are the foundation for payments transformation in Malaysia, which is aimed at modernising the e-Payments ecosystem and driving innovation for the country’s more than 31 million residents.
