KUALA LUMPUR, 24 September 2026 – foodpanda Malaysia and Ryt Bank are making it easier for Malaysians to order and pay together, starting with foodpanda Group Order and Ryt Groups. The partnership was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on 7 September 2026, establishing a broader collaboration across payments, customer rewards, merchant engagement, delivery partner financial literacy programmes and other digital initiatives.
From deciding what everyone wants to eat to making sure everyone has paid their share, group meals can involve more coordination than expected. A recent foodpanda Malaysia poll of 1,750 respondents found that deciding what to eat was the biggest headache when organising a group order (38%), followed by chasing payment (29%). Other frustrations included someone changing their order (17%) and waiting for everyone to reply (16%).
These two pain points are at the heart of the first consumer-facing initiative under the partnership. foodpanda Group Order allows everyone to add their own choices to one shared order, making it easier to coordinate what everyone wants, while Ryt Groups complements the experience by helping users manage and sele shared expenses.
“At foodpanda, we are always looking for ways to make experiences simpler and more rewarding for our customers. Group meals are an important part of how Malaysians come together, and making that experience beer means looking at the entire journey, not just the order itself. This partnership with Ryt Bank reflects our commitment to delivering the best experience by making everyday moments more seamless and convenient for our customers,” said Kenneth Soh, Managing Director of foodpanda Malaysia.
For Ryt Bank, the partnership represents an opportunity to bring digital banking closer to the moments and ecosystems that Malaysians already engage with.
“Banking is increasingly part of the everyday experiences that happen around us, from paying for a meal to managing shared expenses. Through this partnership, we can explore how Ryt Bank’s digital banking capabilities can work alongside foodpanda’s ecosystem to make these everyday interactions simpler and more rewarding. What we are announcing today is not just about one feature or one campaign, but the opportunity to build more meaningful digital experiences for Malaysians together,” said Wilson Soon, Interim CEO of Ryt Bank.
Starting with group dining, with more to come
As an initial consumer initiative, from now until 21 October 2026, eligible Ryt Bank customers who complete a qualifying Ryt Groups selement can unlock up to RM15 foodpanda voucher through the Ryt Bank app.
Beyond the initial consumer oering, both companies will continue to explore opportunities across payments, rewards, merchant engagement, delivery partner financial literacy programmes and other digital initiatives.
