Cashless payments today are quick, secure and extremely convenient so it’s a matter of time before the use of payment cards and e-wallets skyrocket,” said Digi’s chief business officer Eugene Teh, in a press statement.

“We want to help businesses step into this digital world so we are rolling out digital solutions and key strategic partnerships for businesses to capitalise on.

“Today we are happy to announce a partnership with one of Malaysia’s largest banks, CIMB, to bring added convenience to our Enterprise Business (EB) customers. We envision similar partnership in this direction,” Teh added.

Digi’s expanding 4G Plus network means that these wireless terminals can be used throughout Malaysia.
