Lakala is authorised to receive the payment licence for all categories issued by the central bank of the country.
The agreement, which will be effective for a period of one year upon signing, can be renewed automatically every year.
EPP CEO Kenneth Hiew said: "This collaboration is a strategic move for both EPP and Lakala. The main beneficiaries will be merchants in Malaysia and China UnionPay (CUP) cardholders as they would be provided with more online payment options with the addition of CUP.
"As we broaden the acceptance of the system with Malaysia’s merchants, CUP cardholders can conveniently make their online transaction payments."
