“Spearheaded by CTO Tee Pang Yong and General Manager Patricia Silvanus, both industry veterans with rich experiences, CommercePay has brought a revolution in the payment industry in Malaysia. It promises a user-friendly experience, eliminating setup fees, and facilitating a swift settlement process, an advantage that optimises cash flow management for businesses of all sizes,” said Kuna.

“As Commerce.Asia continues on our growth trajectory, we pledge to keep people at our core, nurturing aspirations, and fostering an environment of innovation and empathy. With this award, the company reaffirms its commitment to being more than just a workplace, but a space where dreams are realized and potentials are nurtured.”

This accolade indeed marks a significant milestone for Commerce.Asia, cementing its reputation as a nurturing employer and a leader in the e-commerce space.
