Selangkah Biz offers cashback to Ramadan bazaar merchants

• Incentives of up to RM10,000 to be given to Selangkah Biz merchants throughout Ramadan
• Selangkah Biz offers unified payment platform to receive cashless payments

DIGITAL payments app Selangkah Biz is offering Ramadan bazaar merchants with incentives for every transaction made during the festive season.

This is to encourage a safer, digital Hari Raya celebration this year in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, it said in a statement.

Selangkah Biz, which is powered by KiplePay, allows merchants to accept contactless payments with just their smartphones.

With this, Ramadan bazaar merchants can offer their customers the option of paying through their preferred e-wallet or cashless payments by scanning the relevant QR codes with their own devices, doing away with physical transactions and complying with standard operating procedures (SOPs), it said.

The Selangkah Biz Ramadan Campaign will grant incentives of up to US$2,418 (RM10,000) to Selangkah Biz merchants throughout the Ramadan period.

Merchants will be rewarded with RM1 cashback for each transaction made via the app, up to a maximum of RM50 per day. A minimum purchase of RM5 and above is required to redeem the cashback, with terms and conditions applied.

“Pivoting to digital means have been a way for entrepreneurs in Malaysia to ensure the survivability of their business, no matter the industry.

“Selangkah wants to make that transition a seamless one, especially now during the Raya season where more companies, traders and merchants are looking to ply their trade,” said Tengku Iesta Tengku Alaudin (pic), Selangkah Ventures Sdn Bhd (SVSB) chief executive officer,

SVSB said Selangkah Biz provides merchants with access to a Unified Payment Platform to receive cashless payments through multiple e-wallets and manage their daily transactions without complicated onboarding processes and high fees.

There are no sign-up or annual fees required from the merchant, and Selangkah Biz claims to provide one of the lowest transaction fees for payment made via the app, allowing its users to further save on their operating expenditures, it claimed.

Aside from providing business owners with cashless solutions, SVSB will soon roll out Selangkah Wallet and Selangkah Pay within the app to provide its users with a one-stop solution for all their digital needs in the new normal.

Interested merchants can sign up to the Selangkah Biz Ramadan Campaign.
