Curlec by Razorpay Launches Revolutionary Payment Gateway in Malaysia
July 13, 2023Curlec, a Malaysian fintech company that made waves in the recurring payments sector, has undergone a significant transformation since being acquired by Indian Fintech Unicorn Razorpay last year. It has evolved from a dedicated recurring payments solution to a comprehensive payment gateway catering to businesses of all sizes. The all-new Curlec Payment Gateway, powered by Razorpay’s cutting-edge technology, aims to provide Malaysian merchants with a seamless payment experience while automating payouts and enabling them to focus on their customers.
With Malaysia’s booming digital economy, expected to reach a Gross Merchandising Value of $35 billion by 2025, and a high mobile phone penetration rate, Curlec envisions serving more than 5,000 businesses with a target of RM10 billion in annualized Gross Transaction Value (GTV) by 2025. Additionally, the strong government support for the digital economy and the emergence of the real-time payments system, DuitNow, have further facilitated the adoption of cashless payments and mobile transactions among merchants.
The expansion of Curlec into a full-stack payment solutions provider in Malaysia is driven by the demand for more robust, reliable, and advanced payment solutions in the region. Leveraging Razorpay India’s industry-first solutions and extensive experience across multiple sectors, Curlec plans to incorporate innovative technologies that have proven successful in the Indian market.
