RHB Bank has made RHB PAY the first bank-owned platform in Malaysia to enable merchants to accept DuitNow Pay, covering both online and recurring payment types through a single integration. This positions RHB as the only bank in Malaysia currently offering merchants access to both DuitNow Online Banking/Wallets (DOBW) and DuitNow AutoDebit (DNAD) through one unified gateway.

DuitNow Pay is operated by Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet), Malaysia’s national payments network provider. It expands the range of accepted payment methods available to merchants, with DOBW handling one-time online transactions and DNAD enabling recurring collections such as subscriptions, membership fees, and monthly bill payments.

RHB PAY Integrates DuitNow Pay

Through the RHB PAY platform, merchants can accept DuitNow Pay alongside existing options including card payments and FPX, all through a single integration. All collections are credited directly into the merchant’s RHB account, and the platform includes automated reconciliation capabilities to reduce administrative overhead.

For online purchases, customers can complete transactions using their preferred participating bank or e-wallet directly at checkout via DOBW. For recurring arrangements, DNAD allows customers to give a one-time authorization, after which merchants can collect future payments according to agreed terms without requiring repeated customer action. The platform also supports a migration path for businesses currently using FPX and DirectDebit, allowing them to transition to DuitNow Pay without overhauling their broader payment infrastructure.

RHB PAY was launched in August 2026 as RHB’s unified online payment gateway. Beyond DuitNow Pay, the platform supports card payments and FPX, with real-time fund settlement directly into RHB merchant accounts. The automated reconciliation feature is designed to improve payment visibility and reduce manual processing for businesses.

RHB also supports invoice payments through DuitNow Request to Pay, and is among the earliest banks to allow businesses to integrate this service directly into their billing systems. The feature enables businesses to send payment requests containing invoice details through participating banking applications, reducing manual follow-up and minimizing payment errors.

Merchants already connected to RHB PAY will be able to access additional payment capabilities as they become available through the same connection, without requiring separate integrations.

Pokdepinion: RHB PAY is slowly becoming the one gateway to rule them all.
