Razer Merchant Services announced that it has attained the Mastercard Direct Acquiring license, Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES), and Click to Pay (C2P) feature in Malaysia. This enables RMS’ merchants to seamlessly connect to Mastercard products and solutions.
Mastercard’s payment solutions will be accessible to RMS merchants across various industry verticals, including market traders, hawkers, e-hailing, e-sports, on-demand services, government, and education partners, with the card scheme enabling merchants to offer card payments supported by seamless on-boarding and security.
“Through this collaboration, RMS’ is proud to empower online merchants in Malaysia with full access to millions of Mastercard cardholders. Our team continues to work closely with Mastercard to ensure that we can replicate the swift card scheme on-boarding and secure payment processing for all our merchants across Southeast Asia. We intend to extend our card scheme capabilities to other countries as well as we continue to scale across the region,” said Lee Li Meng, CEO of Razer Fintech.
The partnership takes place at a time where consumers are increasing their usage of ePayments to pay for goods and services.
“This partnership is key as Mastercard seeks to continually enhance ePayments acceptance among merchants with Razer Fintech. Through this, Mastercard can further support its network of merchants to capitalize on opportunities to grow and scale in Malaysia’s growing e-commerce market including underserved segments such as market traders and hawkers.
RMS’ holistic card scheme payment ecosystem will also be further enhanced with its offerings to SME and Micro businesses through the RMS Virtual Terminal (VT) mobile application, which turns merchant smartphones into payment terminals. The VT App will seamlessly deploy contactless card payment acceptance through the “Tap-on-Phone” technology to ensure its current merchant base of 40,000 QR payment touchpoints can accept payments conveniently.
The MDES certification will act as an added layer of security through the encryption of a cardholder’s 16-digit account number using a token. The token would only be known to the cardholder.
