MoneyMatch is the first to introduce e-KYC or electronic-‘Know-Your-Customer’ in Malaysia that allows you to digitally confirm your identity when signing up to the money transfer service. You can complete your sign-up all on your mobile device, anytime and anywhere with internet connection. The sign-up is quicker, and your application is approved within a day! You can forget having to print your paperwork, or going to a physical store or bank to get it done!

They are also able to offer transfer fees as low as MYR 3 and more competitive exchange rates compared to banks due to their ‘blockchain’ technology that help them cut their costs. This innovation allows you transfer money in a transparent and quicker way, with your money being received within hours. This is significantly faster than the SWIFT technology used by banks to transfer your money within 1-2 days.

Since its launch, MoneyMatch offers have grown from 100 users in 2017 to over 35,000 users in 2022. They have helped users send over 7 billion MYR. With MoneyMatch, you can transfer from Malaysia, Australia and Brunei to over 110 countries and more than 40 currencies worldwide!
