“We are delighted to enable CIMB merchants to process multiple QR codes via GHL’s unique single payment facility/gateway. Our multi-channel model is not just convenient but also cost-saving to CIMB’s merchants as multiple QR settlements are streamlined into a single payments provider,” said GHL Group CEO Danny Leong.
The payment method is already available at certain outlets of House of Leather, NSK and Super Seven.
