Yang Berhormat Pehin Datu Singamanteri Colonel (Rtd) Dato Seri Setia (Dr) Awang Hj Mohammad Yasmin bin Haji Umar delivering his welcoming remarks and applaud Baiduri Bank for making it easier for SMEs to do their online transactions

Now this is a very interesting system especially when you are doing businesses online. The one who will benefit the most are e-vendors and also their customers. Once you master the usage of this new payment gateway of the MerchantSuite, online transaction can become seamless.

The idea and implementation stage took a few months as Baiduri Bank wanted to focus on bringing the best out of MerchantSuite for the residents of Brunei Darussalam. Under the care of the Business Banking Unit, the MerchantSuite is a suite of solutions to enable SMEs to elevate their businesses by providing an affordable online platform to conveniently issue invoices and accept card payments. The suite complements an SME’s social media presence and does not require the setup of a website, which may get costly for entrepreneurs starting a business. Now, isn’t that interesting?

Baiduri Bank launched its new product, MerchantSuite, at Radisson Hotel recently. The launch was officiated by the Minister of Energy and Industry, Prime Minister’s Office, Yang Berhormat Pehin Datu Singamanteri Colonel (Rtd) Dato Seri Setia (Dr) Awang Hj Mohammad Yasmin bin Haji Umar, the guest of honour for the event.

Also present was CEO of Baiduri Bank, Pierre Imhof, who continues to bring new innovative ideas and systems to Baiduri Bank and hence, it’s no surprise that Baiduri Bank keeps winning accolades internationally. It’s always Baiduri’s strategy to always partner with the best, most reputable names in the world in order that we design and distribute the best products available in the market and the most suitable for the local Brunei environment. Keep it up, sir!!

On top of allowing users to accept card payments securely, in line with Baiduri Bank’s commitment to providing the highest industry standard in data security, MerchantSuite complies with the globally recognized PCI-DSS.
