Perodua inks MoU with MyDigital ID to secure cashless transactions

PETALING JAYA: Perodua signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with My Digital ID Sdn Bhd (MyDigital ID) to secure user authentication access as the compact car company further improves its journey in cashless transactions.

MyDigital ID is a secured and trusted National Digital Identity initiative, developed to enable Malaysians to seamlessly and safely access both government and private digital services.

“This collaboration is the first of its kind for the country’s automotive industry as MyDigital ID being the country’s gatekeeper for authentication transactions enables us to further diversify our services to our customers specifically, and to all Malaysians in general,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

He said that the authentication process is a secured starting point to ensure all users are safeguarded by the country’s cyber security experts.

“Over the last six months, we have partnered up with several Malaysian bodies to further enhance the overall Malaysian experience through strategic partnerships with Petronas, Tenaga Nasional Bhd and Telekom Malaysia Bhd.”

“These other partnerships will offer a world of products and services to our future customers and we want our customers to be as safe as possible,” Zainal said.

“In addition, we are also supporting the government’s call for a more cashless society for convenience as well as leveraging on the robust cyber security feature provided by MyDigital ID,” he said.

"This strategic collaboration with Perodua demonstrates the important role of digital identity in accelerating digital transformation within the automotive industry," said MyDigital ID chief operation officer Mohd Azuddin Parman.

"The key is to ensure trusted digital identity verification while making digital interactions safer and more convenient. It empowers industries like the automotive to offer secure and user-friendly experiences for every customer," Mohd Azuddin said.
