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 offering seamless DNQR acceptance to merchants nationwide through established third-party arrangements with strategic partners, this transition to direct participation with PayNet further strengthens its position as a robust merchant acquirer within Malaysia’s digital payments ecosystem.
With this development, Paydibs now connects directly to Malaysia’s national payments network for DuitNow QR, building on 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 development comes amid the rapid expansion of QR payments 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 life, with 8.44 billion transactions processed in 2025. Malaysia is now among the world’s leading adopters of QR payments, reflecting the country’s continued advancement towards a digital economy.
As adoption continues to increase, secure and reliable transactions remain essential. Paydibs addresses this through its dynamic QR functionality, which enhances transaction security while ensuring a smooth and efficient checkout experience for both merchants and customers.
Direct participation with PayNet also enables faster settlement cycles, improved cost efficiencies and greater control over transaction processing. For merchants, this translates into improved cash flow visibility and quicker access to funds, supporting stronger financial management.
In addition, Paydibs streamlines merchant onboarding and support processes while maintaining stronger oversight of payment flows. Businesses benefit from a more integrated payment experience, with simplified operations, improved visibility and faster access to funds.
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 eWallets.
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) functionality 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 objectives to accelerate digital adoption among MSMEs, Paydibs continues to identify meaningful merchant use cases and actively participate in ecosystem initiatives that support the 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 and pilot programmes within the national payment ecosystem.
