  • Ambank and Digi Partner to Lower Barriers for Smes to Adopt Epayments
    Media Release 6 August 2018 AmBank and Digi partner to lower barriers for SMEs to adopt e- payments Partnership aims to enable 10,000 terminals to accept Digi’s e-payment solution in the next 12 months AmBank (M) Berhad (AmBank) continues to step up its digital strategy by opening up its wide merchant network to accept Digi’s vcash QR code as an additional payment service. This ‘e-payment partnership’ with Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) takes on a two-pronged approach. Firstly, AmBank’s merchant point-of- sale (POS) terminals will be enabled to accept vcash QR code transactions. What this means is that vcash users can pay for their transactions via Digi’s vcash mobile app. vcash users only need to scan the QR code to pay. Secondly, Digi will be signing up small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) merchants under the Master Merchant programme with AmBank. This will translate to more merchants accepting vcash payments, while growing AmBank’s merchant base. “This strategic tie-up with Digi complements our efforts in broadening our product offerings to existing merchants as well as new merchants, while staying relevant and competitive in the digital landscape. It is also part of our ongoing efforts to support Bank Negara Malaysia’s agenda to accelerate the country's migration to electronic payments (e-payments) as we move towards becoming a cashless society,” said Dato’ Sulaiman Mohd Tahir, Group Chief Executive Officer, AmBank Group. “In advancing eWallet payment technology, we are working on more strategic partnerships to offer wider acceptance to our customers.

TONO SA (Counsel Camilla Vislie) (1) Justice Webster: The case concerns claims for compensation for breach of the Copyright Act. The question is whether RiksTV AS's distribution of TV channels in the terrestrial network constitutes a communication to the public within the meaning of section 2 of the 1961 Copyright Act and section 3 of the 2018 Copyright Act. If that is the case, the performance requires the authors' consent. (2) RiksTV AS – RiksTV – distributes TV channels in the digital terrestrial network.
