“7- Eleven Malaysia is the first-ever retailer to accept the One2pay app and this is an important milestone for us to support Malaysia’s aspiration to become a cashless society.

“By Jan 17, all 2,218 7-Eleven stores across Malaysia will accept One2pay,” he told reporters after the One2pay app launch and memorandum of understanding (MOU)signingceremonybetween MOL and MARA Corporation Sdn Bhd (MARA Corporation) yesterday.

“In the coming months, Starbucks, Wendy’s, Rasa Utara, Cosway and Kenny Rogers Roasters in Malaysia will begin accepting the mobile wallet payment,” Praipattarakul said, adding, MOL plans to expand the One2pay app payment into Thailand in the fourth quarter of 2018. — Bernama
