Instarem enables real-time payments to Malaysia

Workers can save money from foreign exchange fees and transportation costs.

Singapore-headquartered payments fintech Instarem has enabled users to send money to Malaysia.

Instarem’s new real-time payment option enables Malaysians in Singapore to send cash in the safety of their homes in the Lion City, avoiding the hefty foreign exchange fees or the roundtrip travel costs to Johor Bahru that Malaysian workers often trek in order to avoid the fees.

“Enabling instant payments for Malaysian ringgit transfers is a very important step in helping our Malaysian users send money to their families without having to worry about anything,” said Michael Minassian, head of consumer business, APAC at Instarem. “Our business was founded to help remove complexities around money and we continue to strive to do so.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
