DuitNow Bill Payment

Introduction

PayNet is facilitating an industry wide initiative to implement ubiquitous online bill payments for Malaysia, called the National Bill Payment Scheme (NBPS). Its fundamental purpose is to facilitate Customers to make online payment of ANY Bill at ANY Bank in Malaysia

While this initiative is primarily targeted for online bill payments (deployment at Internet and Mobile Banking is mandatory), Banks can optionally extend this bill payment mechanism to other channels, including ATMs and Branches
