KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 8): Public Bank Bhd has teamed up with Revenue Group Bhd to launch an all-in-one digital payment terminal, which will be made available from tomorrow (Nov 9).
The first all-in-one digital payment terminal in Malaysia, developed by Revenue, will simplify the payment acceptance process as it will enable the physical retail merchants to accept both card payments and mobile wallet payments in a single digital payment terminal. thus providing convenience to them, said Public Bank managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) Tan Sri Tay Ah Lek in his opening speech.
Noting that the all-in-one digital payment terminal is powered by the Android operating platform, Tay said this digital payment terminal has a wide range of connectivity, including 3G, 4G, WiFi and Bluetooth networks, enabling physical retail merchants to process electronic transactions wirelessly and offer their customers a fast and convenient service experience.

It also generates electronic transaction reports every business day to enhance operational efficiency.
"The bank will continue with its strategy of increasing its merchant base and adding on more new acceptance services. This is also in-line with Bank Negara Malaysia’s vision to promote cashless society among consumers. The new all-in-one digital payment terminal will enable the bank to provide added benefits to new and existing merchants,” Tay said.
Revenue’s all-in-one digital payment terminals can handle mobile quick response (QR) code payment services, including Alipay, Boost, Touch ‘n Go, UnionPay QR and WeChat Pay, as well as card payments such as Visa, MasterCard, MyDebit, JCB and UnionPay, making payment management simpler and more efficient for physical retail merchants, he added.
“With the rapid development of payment technologies in Malaysia, the all-in-one digital payment terminal will enable its customers to manage a diverse range of payments more efficiently," said Revenue MD and group CEO, Eddie Ng Chee Siong.
"As Malaysia is moving towards a cashless society, we are committed to developing innovative products and solutions that will help our customers grow their businesses in a fast and evolving operating condition," Ng said.
"The all-in-one digital payment terminal will help our customers to strengthen their payment and cash management capabilities,” he added.
Ng also noted Revenue's partnership with Public Bank, being one of the top three merchant acquirers in Malaysia, is anticipated to be one of the main contributors to the group's double-digit revenue growth target for the financial year ending June 30, 2019 (FY19).
As at end-September 2018, Public Bank has more than 60,000 electronic data capture (EDC) terminals nationwide, Ng said. Hence, this will present opportunity for Revenue to replace these conventional terminals gradually, over the next two years.
At 11.45am, shares of Public Bank were up eight sen or 0.33% to RM24.68, giving it a market capitalisation of RM95.89 billion, while Revenue's shares were four sen or 3.7% higher at RM1.12, valuing it at RM251.82 million.

KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 17): The Malaysian government will announce policies to fast-track its plan to increase the portion of renewable energy (RE) in the country's total energy generation mix to grow the RE sector, said Energy, Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment Minister, Yeo Bee Yin.
Yeo said today that she will announce the policies tomorrow. She said RE constitutes 2% of the country's total energy generation mix as at 2016.
Today, Yeo said: "I will announce some good news for RE players tomorrow (Oct 18). I'm looking forward to the activities to grow the sector; that will come after this announcement.

Malaysia should also create a single national epayment QR code. Then all ewallet palyers will explode!
2018-09-24 16:11 | Report Abuse
Still, Singapore is on a mission to reduce the use of paper currency notes, eliminate cheques and encourage the use of mobile payments — but on its own terms. “We made a conscious decision to undertake a slower but more deliberate process,” says Minister for Education Ong Ye Kung at the launch of the Singapore Quick Response Code (SGQR) on Sept 17. “We designed an ecosystem that is both competitive and interoperable, planned it around the existing nancial system and built up the necessary infrastructure and features to support that desired outcome.”
Dubbed the rst of its kind globally, SGQR combines 27 mobile payment schemes such as PayNow, NETS and GrabPay into a single QR code label. To be deployed progressively over the next six months, SGQR is supposed to make mobile payments more popular among consumers and merchants. “ ese may well be the last few jigsaw pieces for us to put in place to complete the national e-pay- mentinfrastructure,”saysOng,whoisalsoa board member of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
Explosive growth
e concept was rst announced over a year ago when the Payments Council established an industry taskforce to develop common QR code speci cations for mobile payments in Singapore. e SGQR taskforce was co-led by MAS and the Infocomm Media Devel- opment Authority, and included members from payment schemes, banks and relevant government agencies.
Still, Singapore is not the only country pursuing a standardised QR code for mobile payments. Indonesia’s central bank, Bank In- donesia, is looking at implementing a similar system. And while MAS describes SGQR as a “world’s rst”, some industry observers say a uni ed QR code for mobile payments may not be all that groundbreaking.
Arnav Gupta, an analyst with market re- search rm Forrester, notes that the con- cept is similar to India’s BharatQR. e only di erence, Gupta says, is that SGQR makes payments interoperable for both merchants and customers, while BharatQR focuses on enabling customers. But this added dimen- sion allows SGQR to bene t from the network e ect, mass adoption and e ective nancial inclusion, he says.
e various payment scheme providers have welcomed the standardisation, but are
The launch of SGQR can help reduce the number of QR code hawkers and other merchants have to display.
NUS Teo agrees that the SGQR system is impartial, as various schemes can compete to give consumers choices. “Selecting only a speci c one may cause a feeling of unfairness, as many payment providers have incurred cost in developing their apps. SGQR is a pragmatic solution for Singapore,” he says.
Emotions and habits
With a set of uniform standards in place for the industry, the onus is now on the various payment providers to constantly improve with better convenience and value for con- sumers and merchants instead of settling into a “toll collector” mode, merely waiting to cream o transaction fees for handling the money ows.
Forrester’s Gupta has identi ed a few focus areas: simplifying the payment experience and reducing cost while maintaining priva- cy and security. In addition, SGQR can also be the base from which new partnerships among businesses can be formed. at could produce more innovative services that better serve their common pool of customers and, as a result, attract even more users.
Indeed, new business partnerships built on mobile payment systems have been formed elsewhere. For example, smaller Indian cit- ies do not have a wide ATM network, which limits access to cash; instead of issuing debit or ATM cards, banks in India issue QR codes to their customers. If customers want to with- draw cash from their own accounts, they can show their QR codes to trusted points of contact working with the banks, such as a postman, who would then hand out the cash on behalf of the banks.
But the payment providers will still have to contend with the vagaries of human be- haviour and ght for market share. For one, observers note, people’s habits are still hard to break. Whether by using hard cash or the latest smartphones, the very act of paying for something can be considered an emo- tional task.
“Why is this emotional? It’s about hard- earned money! And it’s about customers’ habits,” explains Gupta. “Changing payment habits is di cult. If you are [used] to using WeChat, it is very di cult for you to switch your provider, unless strongly motivated to do so. Interoperability will only favour this behaviour,” says Gupta.
e payments sector will only get more competitive as the schemes try to di eren- tiate. ”In the long run, rms that strike the right balance between usability, security and incentives will bene t and continue to serve,” he says. — e Edge Singapore
also quick to claim strong volume growth on their respective platforms. Tan Su Shan, DBS Bank group head of consumer and wealth management, says the standardised QR code will give consumers more exibility in choos- ing which payment scheme to use.

SINGAPORE (Sept 17): Singapore on Monday launched the Singapore Quick Response Code (SGQR), which combines multiple payment QR codes into a single SGQR label.
Photo: Minister Ong Ye Kung testing out the new SGQR label to make a purchase.
The first of its kind globally, SGQR will be adopted by 27 payment schemes, including PayNow, NETS, GrabPay, Liquid Pay and Singtel DASH.
To be deployed progressively over the next six months, SGQR will replace more than 19,000 QR codes currently in use at store fronts and billing statements.
ith the consolidation of QR codes, merchant will only need to display a single SGQR label showing the e-payments it accepts, leading to less clutter on the store front and quicker payments processing.
The addition of new QR payments options – both domestic and international – are also streamlined into the single SGQR label.
Consumers will now be able to choose their preferred payment scheme from the accepted options on the SGQR label, log in to the relevant payment app, and scan to pay.
“These may well be the last few jigsaw pieces for us to put in place to complete the national e-payment infrastructure,” says Minister of Education Ong Ye Kung, who is also a board member of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
“QR code payments have been growing and many cash-intensive merchants, such as hawkers, are accepting them. But every scheme – e-wallet, PayNow, NETSPay – all issue their own QR code. This causes confusion,” Ong says at the launch of SGQR.
To solve this, MAS and the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA), with the support of the Payments Council, last year brought Singapore’s QR industry together to streamline the process.

“The launch of SGQR is a very welcome development,” says Tan Su Shan, managing director and group head of consumer banking and wealth management at DBS Bank. “We believe the standardisation of QR code standards gives consumers greater freedom in their choice of payment platforms and will further popularise the adoption of e-payments.”
According to Tan, there has been an explosive growth in the usage of QR code transactions in Singapore. “DBS PayLah! recently hit a peak of 1.2 million monthly QR code transactions – some 15 times higher than the average monthly QR code transactions recorded in the first quarter of this year,” she says.

Ong today also announced the forming of a Direct FAST industry working group to develop business and technical requirements for non-banks to connect directly to FAST.
“This is a major milestone for our infrastructure development,” Ong says. “Open access to a common infrastructure like FAST means that banks and non-banks will have to compete harder to gain and retain customers. They will have to innovate and offer value-added services constantly to stay ahead of the curve.”
At the same time, Ong says new requirements will be included in the upcoming Payment Services Bill to set minimum standards, which will address a range of potential risks related to e-payments.
“All these efforts will come to naught if people do not feel safe using e-payments. The last piece of the e-payments jigsaw is regulations for payments that are transparent, easily understood and give sufficient peace of mind to all parties,” he says.

the de nition of e-com- merce and online businesses to see if they qualify for exemption under the new sales and service tax (SST) regime for supporting the growth of the country’s digital economy, said Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.
“We have to see the de nition of online business. If you look at infor- mation technology (IT) services for example – it should face a 6% service tax but we decided to give a leeway.
“For instance, cloud service pro- viders — under IT services — they will be charged 6% but because it is a cloud service provider [and] rides on the server of telecommunication
providers, we don’t impose the tax at the business-to-business level to avoid multiple taxation, he told reporters at sales and services tax brie ng here yesterday.
He said exemptions are given in sectors where the government is keen on encouraging them. But he said the government will not be able to give full tax exemption for IT services, where the de nition is very wide.
“So we have to ensure that it is re- ally related to IT, and that it contrib- utes to the digital economy [before an exemption is given],” Guan Eng said when asked to comment on the government’s taxation plan for e-commerce and online businesses.
He reiterated that the SST’s taxa-
ble and exemption list is a living list — meaning it can be changed any time — and that the government will continue to engaging with people and businesses in order to be fair to all and to encourage economic growth.
“ e entire economic structure has changed (as) we enter the In- dustry 4.0 (era). In this digital econ- omy, we nd that traditional busi- nesses have changed or modi ed. Sometimes these changes have to be re ected in the taxation system.
“Previously, we did not see tax exemptions (under the now de- funct goods and services tax) but now the exemptions arise. I want to stress the list is a living list. We want the economy to move with the times,”
