We are delighted that the MPU Cash-In feature gives even more flexibility to our six million KBZPay customers across the country who can transfer money into their KBZPay mobile wallets instantly. More significantly, non-KBZ Bank customers can now instantly cash-in to their KBZPay mobile wallet using e-commerce approved MPU card, making it easier to perform day-to-day financial transactions during this COVID-19 period when social distancing is encouraged.”

“We already see a significant increase in the amount of money that KBZPay customers store in their mobile wallets. There was a 167 percent increase in customer funds in our system in June 2020 compared to January 2020. With the MPU Cash-In feature bringing more convenience to our KBZPay customers and MPU cardholders, we expect this number to continue rising,” added Mr. Chong Ho Yoon.

MPU debit cardholders cashing into their KBZPay mobile wallet will be charged MMK 200 per transaction, with the maximum single transaction amount set at MMK 300,000 and the daily total transaction limit set at MMK 1 million.

To use the MPU Cash-In feature, KBZPay users will need to register their MPU card and mobile phone number for e-commerce with their bank. The e-commerce registration process can differ between banks.
