SHAH ALAM: Selangkah Biz, the mobile application that enables digital payments, is now offering incentives to merchants for Ramadan bazaar with every transaction made during the festive season to encourage safer Raya.
As safety is still top priority in the current pandemic landscape, preference for digital, contactless payment options via e-wallets or debit and credit cards are increasing. Powered by KiplePay, Selangkah Biz recognises the need to equip merchants with such an option and provide a peace of mind that festivities can still be safe.
Selangkah Ventures Sdn Bhd's chief executive officer Tengku Iesta Tengku Alaudin said pivoting to digital means has been a way for entrepreneurs in Malaysia to ensure the survivability of their business, no matter the industry.
"Selangkah wants to make that transition a seamless one, especially now during the Raya season where more companies, traders and merchants are looking to ply their trade. We hope that they will benefit from our digital solutions that are meant to not only grow their business but ensure they can do so securely this season," he said.
The app offers payment through preferred e-wallet or cashless payments by scanning QR codes using their own devices for contactless transactions.
To further encourage merchants to use the Selangkah Biz, they will be rewarded with RM1 of cashback for each transaction made via the app, with a maximum of RM50 per day. A minimum purchase of RM5 and above is required to redeem the cashback, with terms and conditions applied.
Interested merchants can sign up to be a part of this campaign now at biz.selangkah.my.
Taufiq Amini, who runs Iman Tijari Enterprise finds the app offers convenience which is why he decided to get onboard the Selangkah Biz platform for his daily operations.
"E-wallet payments have become very popular amongst our customers, as they can easily top up and pay even if they've forgotten their physical wallets at home. For our business, the flexibility we can give our customers through the various e-wallet payment is the most useful feature. The app makes it really easy to ensure our customers can make payment, and we can align our finances as well without any hassle," shared Taufiq.
Selangkah Biz provides merchants with access to a Unified Payment Platform to receive cashless payments through multiple e-wallets and manage their daily transactions without complicated onboarding processes and high fees.
There are no sign-up or annual fees required from the merchant, and this platform provides one of the lowest transaction fees for payment made via the app, allowing its users to further save on their operating expenditures.
Meanwhile, KiplePay's chief executive officer, Tan Kay Yen said, "We believe that going digital is the way forward, and the only way we can progress is to ensure that all factions of society have access to the right tools to digitalise.
"As a payment solutions provider with over two decades of experience in Malaysia, we are glad to partner with Selangkah to introduce such an inclusive digital tool for our local businesses to expand, grow and contribute to the digital economy," said Tan.
Aside from providing business owners with cashless solutions, Selahngkah will also soon roll out Selangkah Wallet and Selangkah Pay within the app to provide its users with a one-stop solution for all their digital needs in the new normal.
