When selling to tourists or visitors from foreign countries, how does your business accept payments? Cash? Credit? There’s an easier way!
Due to the recent implementation of cross-border QR payments, merchants operating in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand will be able to accept mobile payments from each country’s visitors seamlessly.
All it takes is for merchants to display their respective nation’s QR code – DuitNow (Malaysia), QRIS (Indonesia), PayNow (Singapore), or PromptPay (Thailand). Visiting customers from any of these countries can pay by scanning the QR codes using their banking apps or e-wallets.
What does it mean for my business?
With the borders opened and tourists all around the world free to visit Malaysia, this would mean local businesses can expect higher incoming foreign foot traffic. In fact, recent findings from our neighbouring country Singapore have shown that Malaysia receives more than 300k Singaporean visitors daily.
The implementation of cross-border QR payments by the central banks meant both merchants and tourists would experience a smoother and easier checkout process. Eliminating the need to handle physical cash, transactions can be done accurately with a simple scan of your DuitNow QR code.
