Press Release

Malaysia, October 10, 2023

ECS Fin, the global leader in payments and financial messaging solutions, is collaborating with MBSB Bank Berhad, a full-fledged Islamic Bank in Malaysia, to modernize its payment infrastructure. As a part of ambitious digital transformation and enrich its customer’s banking experience, with ECS Fin the bank has implemented various modules of Retail E-Payments Platform in Malaysia. In this collaboration, the bank is also now ISO20022 ready for SWIFT and RENTAS with high STP rates.

Real-time and cross-border payment volumes in Malaysia are rising twice as fast as the global average. MBSB Bank’s merchants and corporate customers can reap the benefits of the growing volumes as the bank is among the few who are ready with all the real-time payment services in Malaysia. This business surge will also result in opening new avenues in the financial industry.

MBSB Bank selected ECS Fin’s IMS Payments over competing solutions owing to its modern yet intuitive business-service architecture and ease of interoperability with new and existing bank systems. By partnering with ECS Fin, the bank could accelerate its customer experience and modernize its payments roadmap by seamlessly migrating to ISO 20022 for SWIFT and RENTAS as well as quickly introducing new value-added services for retail e-payments.
