Perkeso contributions now easier through FPX with RHB's support

RHB Bank Bhd (RHB Bank) today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO) for online payment and collection through FPX.

With this collaboration, employers no longer need to be physically present to make transactions with PERKESO.

FPX, which is operated by Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet), is Malaysia’s internet payment gateway
which facilitates real-time online payments and e-commerce purchases using funds drawn from customers’
savings account, current account and card accounts at 29 banks across Malaysia.

The MoU was signed in conjunction with the Karnival Kewangan Kedah held from 19 – 21 January 2018, at TH Convention Centr in Alor Star.

RHB Bank has been appointed for the management of contribution payments, late payment contributions
(FCLBs) and compounds through the PERKESO ASSIST portal.

“Employers can access the payment facilities through the FPX, as well as submit records of contributions using the portal without any additional charges.
All payments and collections accounts for PERKESO will be channelled via RHB account,” said a media statement from RHB.
Datuk Adissadikin Ali, Managing Director, RHB Islamic Bank said this collaboration is part of RHB’s digital transformation programme which is aimed at accelerating digital banking solutions to drive greater economic efficiency, in line with Bank Negara Malaysia’s thrust towards digitisation.

“Through this platform we are able to expand our reach to employers and provide them with agile and innovative services,” said Adissadikin.

PERKESO’s FPX services went live in March 2017 and received positive response from employers. Within a
period of nine months, the service has recorded more than 100,000 transactions per month, the fastest
growth for FPX services.
