MobilityOne Limited
("MobilityOne", the "Company" or the "Group")
Mobile Money Transfer Collaboration with bKash Limited
MobilityOne (AIM: MBO), the e-commerce infrastructure payment solutions and platform provider, announces that its wholly owned subsidiary in Malaysia, OneTransfer Remittance Sdn Bhd ("OTR"), has agreed with bKash Limited ("bKash"), a leading mobile financial services provider in Bangladesh operating under a license issued by the Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of Bangladesh, to formally commence a mobile money transfer collaboration by 15 February 2026 (the "Collaboration").
The Collaboration, amongst other matters, was originally outlined in the Company's notification on 26 September 2025 as expected to go live in the next few months.
Based on the terms of the Collaboration, OTR will be entitled to a share of the fees generated through remittance transactions that will be disbursed into bKash account holders as well as income from foreign exchange transactions. OTR will be able to directly disburse funds into bKash e-wallet accounts for any remittance transactions facilitated in OTR's branches and through OTR's mobile application. This arrangement allows for real time disbursement into bKash e-wallet accounts. This new service offering, paired with MobilityOne's e-wallet services, MiPay, will enable wallet-to-wallet remittances for the Bangladesh corridor.
The Collaboration is in line with the Group's plans to digitalise OTR's range of services to enable faster and cost-efficient remittances to its users, particularly for foreign workers in Malaysia originating from Bangladesh, who are estimated to account for 37% of the foreign worker population in Malaysia. In this regard, according to data from Malaysia's Ministry of Human Resources, as of mid-2025, there were approximately 900,000 Bangladeshi permit holders registered in Malaysia, therefore supporting the strategy to digitalise OTR's range of services.
Based on data published by the Central Bank of Malaysia, there has been a significant increase in e-remittance adoption in Malaysia, with over 40% of outward remittances completed digitally in 2024. It is with digital innovations and cross border collaborations such as this, that OTR plans to increase its market share in remittances by converting more customers from traditional cash-based remittances to e-remittance by providing faster and cost-efficient services.
