（吉隆坡讯）东南亚领先的支付服务提供商MOLPay和马来西亚最大的连锁便利店7-Eleven，共同合作推出一项創新的付款方式。此项为网上商户而设的付款方式，让消費者在他们邻近的 7-Eleven便利店以现金付款。付款通过后，商家将即時接到付款通知。全马现有超过1,569间7-Eleven便利店，并仍在持续增加分店。
此项新服务被贴切的名为MOLPay CASH，并在巴生谷一带的735间7-Eleven便利店抢先推出。此后将陆续有更多的便利店分行加入阵容。预计西马半岛和东马所有的7-Eleven便利店将于2014年7月后提供此项服务。
在提及MOLPay CASH的好处的时候，MOLPay的创始人兼首席执行官Eng Sheng Guan称：“使用MOPay CASH付款不但便捷、且还可防止欺诈。网上商家们以往因付款选项所限而忽略了以现金付款的消费群。MOLPay CASH的出现正好解决了这种问题，为网上商家们开拓一个更大的市场。”
MOLPay CASH 为商家们增加高达40%的销售业绩
消费者在MOLPay CASH网上商家们购物时，除了可以用现有的VISA与MasterCard付款选项，也可以在MOLPay付款页面上可选择用MOLPay CASH付款。
使用MOLPay CASH时，消费者将收到交易识别编号以便在邻近的7-Eleven便利店做现金付款。如此便捷的付款方式预计可以为商家们增加高达40%的销售业绩。MOLPay CASH与7-Eleven便利店 结合，在消费者完成付款以后，商家就会收到即时的通知。
MOLPay提供了便利给没有银行户口或信用卡的消费群体，加上遍布各处的7-Eleven便利店每周7日、每天24小时的无休营业，让消费者可以选择在任何时间为其网购做现金付款。对于网上商家来说，提供这样的方便就等同于招徕更多的生意。
60% 的马来西亚人喜欢用现金付款
在消费者可以在网上购买任何东西的同时，是否有充足的付款选项来迎合消费者多种不同的需求并且能给予他们所需的便捷？
其实现实中并没有太多适用的服务来满足如此庞大、需求多样化的消费群体。纵使现金付款的消费群在市场占了绝大部分的比例，大部分的网上商家仍未完全意识到这个庞大的市场潜能。
尼尔森公司于今年初公布的全球储蓄和投资策略调查报告指出，60%的大马消费者较倾向于使用现金付款。现金付款的比例在东南亚其他国家也相当高，其中菲律宾74%、泰国68%和越南61%。
这些以现金付款的消费群需要的正是MOLPay CASH。另外，为了可以更好的管理个人的财务和信用，持有信用卡的消费者也喜欢用现金付款。
为帮助商家们提高营业额，MOLPay 一直不断的推出革新的服务。在MOLPay CASH之前，已陆续推出如Secure 1-Click Payment (Tokenization标记化)和In-page Payment (Seamless Checkout) 等服务。
其中，Secure 1-Click Payment 提供高达93% 的付款交易成功率；In-page Payment 则让消费者全程在商户的网站完成付款，而无需像一般的方式在第三方的付款界面完成付款。

MOL AccessPortal Takes Majority Stake in Rixty, Inc.
Investment in Rixty Expands MOL’s Presence into North and South America
23 October 2012, Kuala Lumpur – MOL AccessPortal Sdn. Bhd. (MOL), Asia’s leading e-payment service provider and a subsidiary of MOL Global Pte. Ltd., announced that it has made a majority investment in Silicon Valley-based alternative payment platform provider Rixty, Inc. (Rixty), becoming the first Asian e-payment service provider to acquire a North American e-payments platform.
Founded in 2007, Rixty allows users to spend cash and coins for online games, virtual goods and digital content via kiosks and prepaid cards at retail stores. The alternative payment platform allows consumers without credit cards or bank accounts to create spending accounts for online entertainment simply by taking their cash and coins to more than 75,000 locations across the United States and 66,000 locations in Brazil.
The investment in Rixty will provide MOL a strong foothold in North and South America, while supporting its continued global expansion. Rixty presently has offices in the United States and Brazil, with plans to expand into Canada and Mexico by the first quarter of next year. Including Rixty, MOL now operates in ten countries and plans to further expand into another two countries by the end of the year.
With global internet bandwidth improving, an increasing number of games are serving a global audience from a centralised North American base of operations. This strategic partnership will allow MOL to service global game publishers and provide a one-stop solution for them to monetise their global user base.
MOL and Rixty agree on the importance of the Brazilian market to online game publishers and are committed to further grow their presence in Latin America enabling global game publishers to monetise this important market. Brazil’s online games market is currently worth US$265 million and is estimated to almost double in size over the next few years.
MOL Global’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Ganesh Kumar Bangah, said the investment allows MOL to expand into these two huge markets while enabling MOL to tap into the best talent in Silicon Valley. “This investment takes us one step ahead to be global leaders in the US$19.2 billion worldwide virtual goods market. We look forward to working together with Ted and the Rixty team to capitalise on this tremendous opportunity,” Ganesh said.
“As a leading e-payment provider in Asia, MOL is the perfect partner to complement Rixty’s payment infrastructure across North and South America,” said Ted Sorom, CEO of Rixty, Inc. “Global publishers require a global solution. Together we give publishers the comprehensive worldwide payment platform they require,” Ted concluded.
Ganesh and Ted were speaking at the signing ceremony of the agreement between the two companies on the majority investment by MOL in Rixty. At the signing ceremony, MOL AccessPortal was represented by MOL’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Ganesh Kumar Bangah, while Rixty was represented by Ted Sorom, its Chief Executive Officer.
With this investment, the existing Rixty executive team and staff will continue extending the Rixty payment system into the Americas from their headquarters in San Francisco, California and their South American office in São Paulo, Brazil.
