AEON Bank has partnered with foodpanda Malaysia in a move to support digital banking adoption and expand financial access for riders, merchants and customers in the country.
The collaboration outlines joint efforts in areas such as customer acquisition, digital financing, targeted campaigns and value-added services across both platforms’ ecosystems.
The partnership aims to improve financial literacy and offer microfinancing options to foodpanda riders, including support for motorcycle and device purchases.
It will also help merchants access business financing through AEON Bank’s AB2B Programme.
Customers can expect exclusive rewards and expanded access to AEON’s retail ecosystem, including more grocery options beyond AEON MaxValu Prime.
AEON Bank, Malaysia’s first Islamic digital bank, and foodpanda, one of the country’s largest online food and grocery delivery platforms, are also planning co-branding campaigns and other initiatives to serve the growing demand in the food delivery and digital commerce sectors.
YM Raja Datin Paduka Teh Maimunah Raja Abdul Aziz, CEO of AEON Bank said,
“We look forward to providing value to foodpanda riders and merchants by enabling access to digital banking, rewards programmes and services that elevate their experience.
By optimising foodpanda’s expansive network and connecting it with AEON Bank’s Shariah-compliant products and AEON Points loyalty programme, we aim to deliver meaningful impacts to the target segments — particularly gig workers and MSMEs — while driving growth and engagement.”
“For our riders, this partnership goes beyond deliveries — it enables access to tech-driven financial support, microfinancing and financial literacy programmes that can improve their livelihoods. Meanwhile, our merchant partners will have greater opportunities to grow their businesses faster with targeted campaigns and financing solutions to scale their operations.
And for our customers, they can expect more value and convenience with exclusive rewards and easier access to AEON’s retail ecosystem. This partnership is more than just a commercial collaboration — it’s about empowering riders, accelerating merchant growth and making every customer experience even more rewarding,”
said Tan Ming Luk, Managing Director of foodpanda Malaysia.
