In his acceptance speech, Dato’ Sulaiman Mohd Tahir, Group Chief Executive Officer of AmBank Group, said, “We are honoured to be recognised for Outstanding Contribution to JomPAY and MyDebit for the fourth year running and indeed it is a privilege to be named Top JomPAY Acquirer this year. Indeed, this achievement is a testament to our commitment and our continual effort to encourage customers and partners to utilise JomPAY as an accessible bill payment eco-system as well as our continuous commitment expanding MyDebit payment acceptance via our merchant network nationwide.

“The year 2020 has been a watershed for businesses and consumers alike, as they have had to accelerate the digitalisation of payments and collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
