MoneyGram provides money transfer and payment services worldwide. MoneyGram is a global leader in money transfers headquartered in Dallas, USA. The MoneyGram Agreement enables the customers of OTR to send and receive money via MoneyGram's global platform which connects to more than 200 countries worldwide.

Under the MoneyGram Agreement, OTR will be entitled to a share of the fees generated by MoneyGram on money transfer transactions as well as a share of MoneyGram's foreign exchange profits realised on transactions via OTR.

(iii) the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd, entered into an Alipay service contract with Alipay.com Co., Ltd ("Alipay") in August 2020 to offer Alipay's payment acceptance service to the Group's merchants in Malaysia (the "Alipay Agreement"). Alipay is one of the largest mobile and online payment platforms globally and is part of the Alibaba Group Holding Limited, a Chinese multinational technology company specialising in e-commerce, retail, internet and technology. The Alipay Agreement will enhance the Group's e-payment capabilities whereby the Group's merchants can accept Alipay transactions via online and offline channels from digital wallets which have stored value operated by Alipay. The Group intends to, via an e-platform, provide payment processing, authorisation and settlement services to its merchants who provide goods and services directly to Alipay users to enable such merchants to accept payments from Alipay users. The Group intends to deploy this service to the market by the end of this year.
