Digi, Petronas ink comprehensive digital partnership
KUCHING: Digi and Petronas Dagangan Bhd (Petronas Dagangan) have announced a comprehensive digital partnership today to synergise marketing and rewards programmes as well as explore touchpoints to digitise and enhance benefits to businesses and customers alike.
Petronas and Digi customers will now be able to head to Kedai Mesra in Petronas stations to enjoy selected services such as subscribing to a Digi line or credit reload, adding to the convenience of refuelling, refreshing and reloading at Petronas stations.
Additionally, Digi pop-up booths will also be set up at selected Petronas stations to make it more convenient for motorists who want to perform these services prior to entering Kedai Mesra.
These services can be completed as quickly as 20 seconds at the booths, enabled by Digi’s Mobile Sales app. This move strengthens Digi’s already widespread network of 15,000 customer touchpoints, and enables Petronas Dagangan to offer a wider range of services to Malaysians who patron their stations.
Beginning with Petronas Station Sri Hartamas, Petronas stations nationwide will also be vcash ready, offering Malaysians an easy, convenient and digital way to pay for goods and services at Kedai Mesra with their smartphones.

Beyond business to consumer (B2C), this Digi-Petronas partnership extends its benefits to businesses with a cross-marketing collaboration between Digi’s intelligent commercial fleet tracking solution iFleet and Petronas Dagangan’s corporate fleet card programme, Petronas SmartPay.
Petronas SmartPay fleet card users who sign-up for iFleet services receive 10 per cent off their subscriptions per month, per vehicle while iFleet customers receive an attractive discount per litre of Petronas’ quality fuel when they sign up for SmartPay.
This partnership will also see Digi subscribe to Petronas SmartPay exclusively for its fleet management solution, providing it greater

“We are focused on delivering great connectivity and digital services to our customers, made increasingly accessible through robust retail and digital channels, supported by a high-quality, consistent network experience across Malaysia.
“The partnership with Petronas enables Digi to connect with more Malaysians and fulfil our aim of providing digital services to all,” Digi’s chief digital officer Praveen Rajan said.
Aadrin Azly, Petronas Dagangan’s head of Retail Business Division said that Petronas Dagangan is pleased to be able to partner Digi to enable such a wide-reaching digital marketing and solutions partnership.
“Ultimately this will not only improve the customer experience at our petrol stations but also aid in our own digitisation efforts as we strive to bring more digital products and services to them.”
Plans are also underway to look into the reward programmes of both partners and explore ways in which customers and subscribers of both programmes can benefit. This is expected to activate further into the partnership in the second half of 2018 (2H18).
