About Boost

Boost is the fintech arm of Axiata Group. Its e-wallet is issued by Axiata Digital E-code Sdn Bhd, which Bank Negara Malaysia lists as a non-bank e-money issuer, and lets users pay bills, buy top-ups, scan QR codes in store and transfer money. Axiata launched a wider cashless ecosystem around Boost in February 2018, when the wallet already had more than 1.7 million users. In January 2024 Bank Negara Malaysia and the Ministry of Finance approved Boost Bank, owned 60% by Boost and 40% by RHB Banking Group, to begin operating as a digital bank.

For online merchants, Boost offers the Boost Connect payment gateway. One API integration covers local and international debit and credit cards (including MyDebit), FPX online banking, DuitNow QR and e-wallets such as Boost, GrabPay, Touch 'n Go and ShopeePay. Features include tokenised card storage for repeat customers, payment links by SMS, WhatsApp or email, recurring payments and a merchant portal with settlement reports. Boost states that the gateway is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant. Settlement is T+1 for DuitNow QR and T+2 for other methods, on business days.

The gateway is open to merchants running a business in Malaysia. Boost lists a limit of RM2,000 per transaction for online banking and card payments (2026), so agencies should check it against typical ticket and package values.
