KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, 29 April 2026 — SUNRATE, the global payment and treasury management platform, announced that it has been granted a Class B licence under the Money Services Business Act 2011 by Bank Negara Malaysia, marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued expansion. 

 

The approval enables SUNRATE to offer regulated money remittance services in Malaysia, enhancing its ability to deliver secure, compliant and efficient cross-border payment solutions to businesses operating both locally and globally. 

 

This milestone builds on SUNRATE’s strategic investment in Malaysia, where the company has established its Kuala Lumpur operations as a Shared Services Centre within its global network. The centre serves as a core operational backbone, supporting key functions including operations, customer experience, product development and business growth—reinforcing Malaysia’s role as a key location for fintech talent and execution on a global scale. 

 

“Securing regulatory approval in Malaysia is an important step forward in our global strategy,” said Paul Meng, Co-founder and CEO of SUNRATE. “With our Shared Services Centre in Kuala Lumpur already playing a key role in our global operations, this approval allows us to further strengthen our capabilities and deliver seamless, compliant payment solutions to businesses worldwide.” 

 

As Malaysia continues to experience growth in digital trade and cross-border commerce, demand for reliable and regulated financial infrastructure is increasing. SUNRATE is well positioned to support this demand through its unified platform and global network. 

 

Together, SUNRATE’s expanded regulatory capabilities and its established Shared Services Centre in Malaysia further enhance its ability to support both local enterprises expanding internationally and global companies entering the market.
