KUALA LUMPUR: Cashless service provide Revenue Group Bhd is expected to make inroads into Myanmar early next year.

Revenue Group, which was listed on the ACE Market in July, has partnered wih various banks, including Public Bank and Hong Leong Bank to boost cashless payment from various medium such as credit card, debit card, as well as e-wallet.

"So far, we have sold 5,000 Electronic Data Capture to Hong Leong Bank and we hope we can see a positive growth in the upcoming quarters," he said.  

Ng said the group was optimistic of finalising a deal with Hong Leong Bank by year-end which would be similar to a contract it concluded with Public Bank.

"For FY18, our electronic transaction processing segment was our largest contributor at RM16.72 million which is 47.3 per cent of the group's total revenue," he said.  He said the company aimed for a double digit growth in the coming quarters as more merchants were embracing cashless payment.  

"We are optimistic on the outlook and we hope more people would embrace cashless payment," he said. - Bernama
