Why: If you build or sell into Malaysian retail payments, BNPL is now effectively universal at the point of sale via DuitNow QR—any merchant with the standard national QR code is a potential BNPL checkout. SaaS founders in POS, e-commerce, or fintech should evaluate whether their flows or merchant onboarding need to account for Grab PayLater as a payment rail alongside standard DuitNow QR processing. payments duitnow-qr bnpl grab malaysia-tech
