Two of iPay88’s founders cum executive directors, Chan Kok Long and Lim Kok Hing, have jointly been shortlisted for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ (EOY) 2016 Malaysia – Technology Entrepreneur category.

Marking its 30th year milestone globally in 2016, the EOY awards program recognises entrepreneurs who have inspired, empowered and reshaped the world with their creativity and foresight to inject a vibrant optimism into markets – creating jobs, improving communities, growing the economy and therefore, building a better working world.

Winning the Bank Negara MyClear award validates iPay88’s role since 2012 as a top Third Party Acquirer who is entrusted by the banks – as a single contact point for banks and financial institutions, to sign up good merchants for them after performing the necessary credit and risk assessment.”
