Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA, July 15, 2021 – Visa, the world’s leader in digital payments, today released new findings from its Visa Consumer Payment Attitudes study , highlighting that over seven in 10 Malaysians (74%) are aware and 65 per cent interested in using digital banking services. In the past 18 months, the nation has seen a significant acceleration in digital adoption due to the pandemic. Many Malaysians have changed the way they work, pay, and even bank. This is a positive outlook for applicants who had submitted their applications for the digital banking licences issued by Bank Negara Malaysia.
It has become a societal norm to avoid crowds and limit face-to-face interaction. The study showed that 43 per cent of Malaysians currently do not visit any bank branches and choose to bank only online. Malaysians are also drawn to using services from digital banks as they believe these services offered are more efficient, convenient, accessible, and secure. Having access to the same type of services at traditional banks but via digital channels allows consumers to bank at a place and time of their choice without being tied to the limitations of banking hours and long queues.
With the ongoing effort to support the national COVID-19 immunisation programme, over 50 Sunway University and Sunway College students has stepped up to volunteer at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre (SPCC) Pusat Pemberian Vaksin (PPV), to support the nation in achieving herd immunity.
The student volunteers will work to ensure that everyone has a smooth experience while taking their shots at the PPV. They will carry out non-medical duties including registration and updating the details for vaccinees, issuing vaccination cards to those who have already been vaccinated, conduct briefings on post-vaccine care while at the same time managing the crowd.
