Pos Malaysia launches new financial and mobile services
Pos Malaysia is introducing two new services: Post-Automated-Machine (PAM) and Pos-on-Wheels, a mobile post office. Pos Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat said a pilot project of PAM had been carried out at the Kuala Lumpur General Post Office and was expected to be expanded to other locations nationwide, in stages.
“PAM is similar to a bank’s ATM (automated teller machine) but the first of its kind that is integrated with postal service.
“The response from the public has been very encouraging and we plan to deploy another 30 units of PAM this year.
“Our target is to have a PAM in every post office nationwide. It will run round-the-clock in due course,” he told a news conference.
PAM services include purchase of stamps, posting of non-standard letter (up to 2kg), posting of domestic PosLaju items (up to 2kg), posting of domestic PosParcel and PosDaftar items (up to 2kg) and top-up for Standing Order Deposit Account (Soda).
Customers can also make bill payments via the machine to Tenaga Nasional Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Syabas, Indah Water Konsortium and Maxis, said Aseh.
As for the Pos-on-Wheels service, he said the service would be available at mostly crowded and strategic places. “Pos-on-Wheels will also be able to conduct online transactions. This is due to the usage of satellite connectivity,” he said.
