NETS, PayNet launch cross-border debit payments service

The two are also working on cross-border instant fund transfers and QR payments.

NETS and Malaysian central payments services infrastructure PayNet have launched the real-time cross-border usage of ATM cards in Malaysia and Singapore, according to a press release.

With the launch, cross-border usage of Singapore’s NETS ATM cards and Malaysia’s national debit scheme MyDebit cards are now allowed. Singaporean NETS customers have been able to use their debit cards in Johor Bahru since November 2018. MyDebit cards are currently accepted through the NETS network of merchants at Bugis Village and selected iStudio, Pandora, SaladStop! And Awfully Chocolate outlets.

The two payments firms are also working on enabling cross-border instant fund transfers and QR payments.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
