Referring to the steady upward trend in tourism, Mr. Tiong King Sing, Malaysia’s Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, remarked, “Malaysia Tourism Year could perhaps be extended to 2026.” With the recent policy between the two governments to simplify entry requirements, allowing citizens to travel freely between China and Malaysia, many businesses have intensified their operations to leverage the potential upsurge in e-commerce transactions. To that end, Oceanpayment launched GrabPay, a payment solution facilitating localization for the Malaysian ecosystem, to support cross-border merchants in their ongoing expansion across Southeast Asia. We aim to offer consumers a world-class online shopping experience with an end-to-end service that is seamless, convenient, and secure.
In recent years, the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia has experienced unprecedented and rapid growth, driven by a vibrant internet community of relatively young consumers. These consumers not only actively engage in social media but also embrace online shopping for goods and services. This dynamic environment presents fertile ground for cross-border merchants seeking to refine their payment services and operations.
According to eMarketer, the Southeast Asian e-commerce market has maintained its position as the global leader for the past three years, showcasing steady growth. Specifically, the e-commerce industry in Malaysia expanded by an impressive 18%, securing a spot among the top 10 countries with the highest e-commerce growth worldwide, alongside the Philippines3. Statista’s data for 2023 revealed that Malaysia’s e-commerce market achieved a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of USD 13 billion, with an estimated USD 16 billion expected by 20254.

Amidst continuous economic growth and ongoing integration in the ASEAN region, each member market is experiencing dynamic changes in their payment ecosystems. This evolution has prompted numerous enterprises to explore new business opportunities. The Southeast Asia region is currently undergoing a transformational phase, where lifestyles are becoming integrated with the financial and economic infrastructure of each country. In Malaysia, relaxed government policies have spurred the rapid development and adoption of electronic wallets. Notably, statistics indicate a 311% rise in the utilization rate of e-wallets in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, with the volume expected to exceed 440 million by 20255.
