BSN, Payhunter turn 24 Ramadan bazaars in KL to go cashless
Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) together with Tech Hunter Global Sdn Bhd (PayHunter) has introduced BSN’s DuitNow QR Soundbox, a digital payment terminal to facilitate cashless transactions for ramadan bazaar stall vendors.
The BSN DuitNow QR Soundbox is available and activated across 24 selected ramadan bazaar spots in Kuala Lumpur to benefit vendors and customers alike.
This deployment follows last year’s #TechMeToBazaar event at ramadan bazaar TTDI, demonstrating BSN and PayHunter’s commitment to enhancing the digital commerce landscape and empowering micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) with digital capabilities.
The Dynamic BSN DuitNow QR Soundbox is expected to be rolled out in the next quarter. BSN and PayHunter will also continue to upgrade the QR Soundbox, offering a new feature where merchants can input product prices directly into the device that generates a QR code.
BSN CEO Jay Khairil said the partnership with PayHunter underscores the bank’s commitment to enhancing productivity and promoting business expansion among MSME through digital transformation.
“This year, we are back with an even better proposition for the vendors. In conjunction with BSN’s 50th anniversary celebration and BSN’s digitalisation initiative, we offer digital payment solutions through the use of BSN DuitNow QR Soundbox Static to vendors participating in ramadan bazaars at selected locations around the capital city.
“With the presence of these QR Soundbox devices, I am confident that we can inject enthusiasm among traders to use safe and fast digital payment methods for cashless transactions,” he said during the launch of TechMeToBazaar at the ramadan bazaar Jalan Kuching last week.
Meanwhile, Tech Hunter CEO Jenson Wong said the PayHunter has taken the initiative to offer vendors a more secure and faster way to receive payments, following the success of previous ramadan bazaar in the year prior as well as the increasing interest of Malaysians in cashless transaction.
