AmBank paves way for DuitNow for seamless transactions
With the introduction of DuitNow by Payments Network Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PayNet) recently, AmBank customers are now able to transfer money instantly and securely using the recipient’s mobile phone number.
Customers wishing to receive DuitNow fund transfers using their mobile number just need to perform a simple one-time registration via AmOnline, AmBank’s internet banking platform, to link their mobile number to their bank’s account number. Alternatively, customers may choose their MyKad or MyPR Identity Card numbers, Army or Police numbers, passport numbers or business registration numbers – to link with their bank accounts in order to receive money.
