Getting licensed is only the beginning. For BNPL providers, the Consumer Credit Act 2025 introduces requirements that shape how they assess customers, extend credit, manage missed payments and support consumers facing financial hardship.

In Part 2 of our BNPL series, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Khai Yi Lo, together with Principal Associate Winn Wong, join host Nicole Goh to explore what these requirements mean in practice.

๐Ÿ’ก The discussion covers creditworthiness and affordability assessments, alternative assessment models, missed payments and account suspension, debt collection, and financial hardship assistance. The team also shares practical tips for businesses preparing for the licensing process and building compliance into their day-to-day operations.

For BNPL providers, the takeaway is clear: compliance needs to be built into the entire customer journey, from onboarding and credit assessment through to repayment and collections.

Intra-group financing has become one of the most closely scrutinised areas of transfer pricing in Malaysia. With the Inland Revenue Board's recent issuance of its guidelines on controlled financial transactions and intra-group loans, taxpayers now face closer examination of how related-party loans are structured, whether they are genuine debt or equity in substance, and how interest is priced and taxed.

This webinar will decipher the IRB's position on intra-group loans, the tax treatment of interest income, the imposition of deemed interest, and our approach to navigating audits. We will also provide an overview of case law developments in transfer pricing, drawing out practical lessons for structuring intercompany financing.

Join us for a closer look at the guidelines, our approach to managing audits, and the developments in case law. Together, we will explore what these mean for your group's financing arrangements going forward.

Halim Hong & Quek was pleased to be part of the Kuala Lumpur In-House Community Congress 2026, held on 3 September 2026 at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur.

Our Senior Partner, Kumar Kanagasabai, joined Azmi Bin Maulud, Director of Group Legal at Naza Corporation Holdings, Cynthia Gabriel, Founder of Cynthia Gabriel & Associates, and Paula Sena, Head Legal and Compliance, Asia Cluster, for a panel discussion on โ€œWorkplace Investigations: Whistleblowing, Misconduct and Legal Risk Managementโ€, moderated by our Associate, Omar Qayyum Bin Hamdan.

The discussion explored the practical and legal considerations that arise throughout a workplace investigation, including the initial response, evidence preservation, investigative independence, confidentiality, procedural fairness and the actions organisations should consider following an investigation.

Thank you to our fellow panellists and everyone who joined the session and contributed to the discussion. It was a pleasure exchanging perspectives on how organisations can approach workplace investigations effectively while managing legal and organisational risk.

BNPL providers may think that as long as a high interest or service rate is clearly disclosed upfront, consumers can decide for themselves whether they are willing to pay the price.

But disclosure is not a safe harbour for imposing excessively high rates. It is only the first step.

BNPL providers must still ensure that the interest rates they impose are reasonable, taking into account all the circumstances.

This highlights that transparency alone is not enough when it comes to BNPL pricing.

Under Malaysiaโ€™s Consumer Credit Act 2025, BNPL providers are required to disclose the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), giving consumers a clearer picture of the actual annualised cost of credit.
For example, a rate of 2% per month may appear low, but when reflected as an annualised EIR, the cost could be around 26% to 27%.
This highlights the importance of clear, transparent and proper disclosure across BNPL advertisements, promotional materials, documents and marketing terms.
