Summary
Money transfer firm Wise has secured direct integration with Malaysia's national payments infrastructure, enabling users to utilize DuitNow QR and streamline Malaysian ringgit transfers. This operational expansion reduces reliance on intermediaries, lowers costs, and increases transaction speeds within the country. The move marks the ninth market where Wise has gained direct access to a domestic payment system, demonstrating continued international growth despite the recent denial of its U.S. national trust bank charter and an ongoing Belgian investigation.
