Billplz Shapes the Future of E-Commerce and Online Payments by Replacing Concerns About Digitization with Reassurance

According to a recent article by The Star, digital payments are quickly becoming the norm in the daily lives of Malaysians^[1]. Now that Malaysians are rapidly migrating to the online sphere for services like shopping, ride-hailing and even food delivery, it is no surprise that people are adopting a cashless lifestyle. Furthermore, at the Perdana Leadership Foundation’s CEO Forum held on 4th April 2019, Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad discussed how digitalization has influenced and changed the Malaysian way of life as well as how we run our businesses^[2]. Having said that, however, The Star also reports that small business owners are hesitant about digitizing their businesses due to investment costs and lack of awareness^[3].

This is where Billplz’s cost per transaction aims to reassure business owners. Billplz charges a single flat fee for every transaction made through online banking which is one of Malaysia’s most preferred cashless payment channels^[4], as opposed to charging in percentages. Additionally, the transaction fees are not reflected in the same ledger as that of incoming payments. Instead, they are charged separately to the merchants’ Billplz account, thus ensuring high trackability and organization. In other words, Billplz ensures that merchants receive 100 per cent of all payments made to them, while maintaining the lowest, most affordable fees.

Currently, Billplz has more than 2,500 trusted merchants including Axiata Boost  JomParking, CatchThatBus and National Cancer Council Malaysia (MAKNA) and to date, has managed to raise more than RM 1 million in funding from Malaysia Venture Capital Management (MAVCAP) and 500 Startups, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) Icon and Cradle CIP. The platform will continue to champion Malaysian businesses across all industries by providing the fastest transaction speeds at the lowest possible cost, thus empowering business owners while ensuring the sustainable and continuous growth of the nation’s economy.
