U Mobile aims to make fintech services a lot more accessible, affordable and inclusive.
GoPayz’s distinct features are as follows:

- Secure and Safe – All transactions are performed in a safe and secured manner in accordance to regulatory and card scheme standards.
As for GoBiz, the digital payment acceptance solution platform is designed to benefit all businesses, big or small. The key features of GoBiz are as follows:
- Hassle Free Application Process – Approval within 3 working days.
- Customised Solutions – Businesses can digitise their payment acceptance with solutions such as mobile point-of-sale (mPOS), or mobile virtual terminal (MVT).
- Wide Acceptance – GoBiz partners with Mastercard, UnionPay and Visa giving merchants the flexibility to accept payments from local and international customers.

During the media briefing, Jasmine Lee, CMO of U Mobile, explained that GoPayz is a significant milestone not just for U Mobile but for the fintech industry. “With GoPayz, we can now offer affordable digital financial services to everyone. We have GoLife Plus, the micro insurance which premium is as low as RM13 a month with coverage of up to RM76,000. The premium is unheard of prior to this as life insurance has always been deemed to cater to those with higher disposable income.”
She added that GoBiz, like GoPayz, stand to benefit many too. “U Mobile’s intention with our fintech ecosystem is to empower all, be it consumers or businesses. Hence, GoBiz seeks to enable all businesses, even the smallest of traders, to accept digital payments from customers and offer additional revenue-generating services like telco prepaid top-ups and bill payments to their customers.”
