Khairuan Abd Rahman, Director of Retail Payment and Services for PayNet, said \u201cDuitNow is thrilled to partner with Karnival Jom Heboh as \u2018Rakan Cashless Jom Heboh\u2019. QR codes are a major contributor in the drive to a cashless economy, fueled by the permeation of e-payments in every layer of society, especially among the B40 segment. DuitNow leads the charge on this, and with e-commerce and omnichannel retail becoming more common, it\u2019s crucial to ensure that merchant touchpoints are ingrained into our daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
