International Bank Accounts & e-Wallets in Penang: what to know

Global payment accounts help people in Penang, Malaysia get paid by clients, marketplaces and platforms in other countries, then convert the money into MYR (Malaysian ringgit). They are popular with freelancers, online sellers and remote workers in Penang.

Currency in Malaysia
MYR · Malaysian ringgit
Local accounts in Malaysia
Malaysian account numbers are bank-specific, generally 10 to 14 digits, and are used together with the bank's code; Malaysia is not part of the international IBAN scheme, so transfers rely on the bank, account number and beneficiary details.
Payments in Malaysia
PayNet, the national payments infrastructure supervised by BNM, operates DuitNow for instant 24/7 transfers using mobile, NRIC, or business registration numbers, and RENTAS for high-value interbank settlements; FPN/FPX handles online debits.

Before you sign up in Penang

Check which currencies you can receive, the conversion fee to MYR (Malaysian ringgit), and the withdrawal fee to a local account in Malaysia.
