PM Anwar wants digital banks to boost e-payment transactions

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is confident the target of 400 e-payment transactions per capita can be achieved earlier than the original target of 2026 through the efforts by digital banks.

He said there has been an increase in e-payment transactions since 2011 but the numbers are still low and it is the responsibility of all parties to spread the benefits of using the facility to all Malaysians.

"This is not a target that is too high and difficult to achieve and I expect that if we have a stronger desire, we should achieve it sooner,” he said during his speech in conjunction with the inauguration of the digital bank, Boost Bank, here today. - Bernama
