This is the relevant number here: https://merchantsupport.tngdigital.com.my/hc/en-us/articles/...

That’s a promo rate, and only available to certain merchants. Wait until it becomes profitable in “3 to 4 years”. The only real opportunity these systems have to increase efficiency is to not offer consumer fraud protections, which is obviously of questionable value to the consumers.

EU interchange rates are regulated to 0.2% for debit and 0.3% for credit and they offer fraud protection just fine
