Malaysia: Petronas brings cashless payments to 700 sites

Petronas has rolled out cashless payment service Setel across the whole of Malaysia.

Setel is now available at over 700 Petronas stations nationwide, and the national fuel retailer says it expects to rapidly expand the service over the next few weeks.

First introduced in 2018, the service was developed to “eradicate customer pain points in refuelling.” It was initially only available in 40 Petronas stations but it has since expanded to be available 700 Petronas stations in Malaysia.

"In addition to a wider reach, the nationwide expansion is also us pushing our boundaries in delivering meaningful value to our customers,” said Azrul Osman Rani, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad.

Setel integrates fuel payments, loyalty, retail and the e-commerce experience in one platform. Setel recently introduced Mesra points fuel redemption directly from the mobile application as part of integrating aspects of the refuelling process onto a single platform.
