Razorpay Curlec has partnered with PayPal to help Malaysian SMEs accept international payments through a single platform, as more local businesses look to expand overseas.

The integration allows merchants using Razorpay Curlec to accept cross-border payments via PayPal alongside local payment options already available on the platform.

Since its beta launch in 2025, the integration has processed tens of thousands in gross merchandise value, reflecting early uptake among merchants seeking simpler cross-border payment options.

The rollout comes as trade agreements are expected to support Malaysian businesses expanding into Western markets.

This includes the United Kingdom’s entry into the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and efforts to deepen trade ties between Malaysia and the United States.

Kevin Lee, Country Head and CEO of Razorpay Curlec, said,

“Through this integration, Malaysian merchants can accept international payments via PayPal, enabling transactions in more than 100 currencies and supporting customers across key global markets.

The platform also supports recurring and direct debit payments, with automated mandate management to simplify subscription-based or repeat transactions.”

Merchants continue to have access to local payment methods, including FPX online banking, credit and debit cards, as well as e-wallets such as TNG eWallet, GrabPay and Boost.

Payment activity is managed through a single dashboard that provides visibility across payments, transfers, invoices and performance data.

This reduces the need for multiple integrations and simplifies cash flow management across markets.
