Rebecca PY MALAYSIA, 7 JULY, 2026 – Axaipay, a merchant acquirer specialising in human-centric payment solutions for businesses, has announced the successful renewal of its Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1 compliance. The milestone, finalised on 30 June 2026, reinforces Axaipay’s position as a secure, transparent and resilient payment ecosystem across Malaysia and the APAC region.
Axaipay said it differentiates itself from generic payment platforms by combining enterprise-grade technology with human-led customer service and a zero recurring maintenance fee model. The renewal of PCI DSS v4.0.1, described as the latest and most stringent global data security benchmark set by the PCI Security Standards Council, is intended to ensure Axaipay’s merchants receive strong transaction security without added operational complexity.
With this compliance milestone, Axaipay said its full infrastructure, including eComPay for online stores, RetailPay for brick-and-mortar shops, and Axaipay-to-me for social commerce links, now operates under threat-mitigation protocols designed to detect and block fraud patterns in real time.
Dr Terry Yee, CEO of Axaipay, said merchants should not have to choose between advanced security and a human touch. He added that renewing PCI DSS v4.0.1 compliance reflects the company’s commitment to providing a safer and more transparent payment gateway, allowing MSMEs and growing enterprises to scale with confidence knowing customer data is protected to global standards.
For Axaipay’s merchant network, the company said the renewal brings several benefits: real-time fraud management and advanced data encryption to block high-risk activity; reduced backend security burden for businesses, allowing them to scale without compliance-related concerns; and continued transparency through Axaipay’s zero hidden fee model.
As businesses across Asia Pacific navigate a fast-changing digital commerce landscape, Axaipay said its adherence to the PCI DSS v4.0.1 framework reinforces its position as a secure and trusted financial technology partner.
