Payments Network Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (PayNet) has introduced a refreshed design for the DuitNow QR standee, marking a nationwide rollout aimed at improving the visibility and consistency of Malaysia’s national QR standard. The updated look ensures that DuitNow QR is now easier to spot at merchant locations, creating a more seamless and intuitive payment experience for both consumers and businesses. Importantly, this enhancement is purely visual — the functionality, security, and interoperability of DuitNow QR remain unchanged. Consumers can continue making payments as usual, while merchants can accept transactions with the same simplicity and reliability they are accustomed to.
The visual refresh addresses longstanding inconsistencies caused by multiple standee designs previously issued by different banks and e-wallets. These variations often led to confusion at the point of sale. The newly standardized design resolves this by presenting a unified, clearer way of displaying DuitNow QR, firmly positioning it as Malaysia’s official QR payment method. The result is a cleaner, more uniform standee that reinforces consumer confidence and helps businesses present a professional, standardized payment touchpoint.
Gary Yeoh, Chief Marketing Officer of PayNet, emphasized the importance of clarity as digital payments continue to embed themselves in Malaysians’ daily lives. “As digital payments become second nature for Malaysians, the trust and clarity of what people are scanning matters more than ever,” he said. “The refreshed DuitNow QR standee brings greater consistency and visibility across the country, ensuring consumers always know they are paying through Malaysia’s official and secure QR standard, while making it simpler for merchants to display and accept payments through just one QR code.”
The rollout of the new standee began in October 2025, with early adopters such as RHB Bank, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad, MBSB Bank, and Agrobank leading the transition among their merchant networks. A second wave—comprising CIMB Bank, Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank, AmBank, Bank Simpanan Nasional, and Bank Muamalat—will follow, with the rest of the ecosystem gradually coming on board. Merchants are encouraged to adopt the updated design as soon as their acquiring banks make it available to ensure smoother alignment across the payment landscape.
This refreshed design underpins PayNet’s broader commitment to strengthening Malaysia’s cashless ecosystem. By making DuitNow QR more recognizable and consistent, the initiative reinforces its role as the nation’s single QR standard and supports the national agenda of driving an inclusive and progressive digital economy for all Malaysians.
