Here’s How Tourists In Malaysia Can Make Payments Using DuitNow QR

Paynet, the company behind DuitNow and DuitNow QR recently launched the MY TouristPay App. This new app will allow tourists in Malaysia to make payments using the DuitNow QR function.

MY TouristPay App is the first mobile payment app available for people who are visiting Malaysia from abroad.

How do I use MY TouristPay?

How the app works is by allowing users to credit or debit card information onto the platform. The users’ credit or debit information will be used to make payment through the existing DuitNow QR payment system.

According to PayNet’s CEO, Farhan Ahmad, the launch of MY TouristPay App will boost the sale of over 1.9 million DuitNow QR code merchants.

“We expect this initiative to significantly boost sales for small and medium-sized businesses in Malaysia who currently don’t accept cards,” he said.
