Payment gateway provider iPay88 announced that it has appointed Zainol Zainuddin as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
In his new role at iPay88, Zainol will be in charge of development, innovation and transformation of IT strategies.
Additionally, he will also lead the development of IT solutions while ensuring enhanced customer experiences.
Zainol has over 25 years of experience in IT with expertise and leadership experience in the fintech and telco industries.
Prior to his appointment at iPay88, Zainol was the CTO at Malaysian money services business provider Merchantrade for 4 years until September 2022. He also held several IT roles before that at AmBank and Bank Muamalat.
iPay88 said in a statement,
“We are excited to announce that Zainol Zainuddin has joined iPay88 as our Chief Technology Officer.
He brings along a wealth of experiences from his previous senior roles which will undoubtedly contribute to iPay88’s further growth as Malaysia’s leading payment company.”
iPay88 landed in hot water in August this year when it was revealed that its users’ card data may have been potentially compromised.
This prompted the Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) and Association of Islamic Banking and Financial Institutions Malaysia (AIBIM) to caution the banks to “take seriously the data security of their cardholders”.
