PayPal Includes Malaysian Banks

This is not new but I've been receiving several question regarding PayPal in Malaysia. Near the end of 2009, PayPal announced the expansion of its services in Malaysia with the introduction of support for payments in Malaysian ringgit and a new bank withdrawal feature that enables members to transfer money from their PayPal account directly to a Malaysian bank account.

Yes, now we can link our local bank with the PayPal account. As you can see from the snapshot below, taken from the PayPal site, Malaysia is now on the Send. Receive. Withdraw. category.

Meaning, now we can use local bank to receive and make payment via PayPal. Lot.my allows PayPal transaction, thus you can now receive payment directly from your customer either via Credit Card or Direct Bank Transfer. Life is just getting easier huh.. :)
