Paydibs Expands Payment Capabilities Through Direct PayNet DuitNow QR Access

Paydibs Sdn Bhd (“Paydibs”), Malaysia’s merchant-first payment gateway, has successfully become a direct participant with Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet) for DuitNow QR (DNQR) acceptance.

This direct integration represents a significant enhancement to Paydibs’ payment infrastructure. While the company has already been providing seamless DNQR acceptance to merchants nationwide through established third-party partnerships with strategic partners, direct participation with PayNet further strengthens its role as a robust merchant acquirer in Malaysia’s digital payments ecosystem.

With this development, Paydibs now connects directly to Malaysia’s national payments network for DuitNow QR, complementing its earlier direct integration with FPX (Financial Process Exchange). This enables merchants to access a unified payment experience through a single platform, covering real-time online banking payments via FPX as well as QR-based payments via DNQR.

The advancement comes amid the rapid growth of QR payment adoption in Malaysia. Today, more than 3 million merchants nationwide accept QR payments, supported by the addition of over 680,000 new DuitNow QR touchpoints in 2025 alone. Digital payment usage has also become deeply embedded in daily transactions, with 8.44 billion transactions processed in 2025. Malaysia is now recognised among global leaders in QR payment adoption, reflecting the country’s continued progress toward a digital economy.

As adoption accelerates, secure and reliable transactions remain a key priority. Paydibs addresses this through its dynamic QR capabilities, which enhance transaction security while providing a smooth and efficient checkout experience for both merchants and customers.

Direct participation with PayNet also enables faster settlement cycles, improved cost efficiency and greater control over transaction processing. For merchants, this translates into improved cash flow visibility and quicker access to funds, supporting more effective financial management.

In addition, Paydibs streamlines merchant onboarding and support processes while maintaining stronger oversight of the payment flow. Businesses benefit from a more integrated payment experience, with simplified operations, enhanced visibility and faster fund access.

Chief Executive Officer of Paydibs, Tee Kean Kang, said the integration reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its role within Malaysia’s payments ecosystem.

He said that by connecting directly with PayNet for DuitNow QR, Paydibs is enhancing its position as a merchant acquirer, enabling faster settlements, greater control and more efficient payment operations for businesses. At the same time, merchants benefit from simplified acceptance through a single platform with access to DuitNow QR across banks and e-wallets.

This development builds on Paydibs’ broader infrastructure advancements, including the launch of Paydibs NEO, Malaysia’s first all-in-one smart terminal that integrates QR, card and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) capabilities into a single device. Together, these initiatives reflect Paydibs’ strategy of strengthening national payment rail connectivity while delivering practical, merchant-focused solutions.

Aligned with Bank Negara Malaysia and PayNet’s efforts to accelerate digital adoption among MSMEs, Paydibs continues to identify meaningful merchant use cases and actively participate in ecosystem initiatives that promote wider adoption of national payment solutions.

With enhanced multi-rail capabilities and direct connectivity to PayNet, Paydibs is well positioned to support the continued expansion of digital payments in Malaysia while preparing merchants for future enhancements within the national payment ecosystem.
