In line with Bank Negara's directive to promote electronic payments for greater economic efficiency, we at Berjaya Sompo is promoting e-payment amongst our customers and business partners.

Our Company has signed up with JomPAY to facilitate payment of premiums online and other e-Payment services such as RENTAS, IBG, IBFT may also be used. Effective from 1st July 2018 Bank Negara may make it compulsory, as such business partners are not allowed in making premium payments on behalf of their clients to the Company using their own current or savings accounts or credit or charge card accounts.

In order to promote an awareness among our business partners of the Bank Negara's new directive on the migration to e-payments, the Company will continue to share this information in the upcoming events with all our business partners.
