July 09 Malaysia
| EON Bank Group entered a partnership with the Inland Revenue
Board (LHDNM) and the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) today to
leverage the power of the internet to make online payroll services
more simple and convenient for businesses via its Internet Banking
site at www.eonbank.com.my. The
new service, named Online Payroll, has been specially designed
for payroll needs so commercial and corporate customers are able
to credit employee salary without the need for submissions through
conventional brick-and-mortar bank branches. With the simple click
of a mouse button, they are saved from the hassle of using traditional
means of managing their payroll, such as submitting manual requests
or providing diskettes over the counter at bank branches.
“With
Online Payroll, companies no longer need to send files saved on
offline storage media or letters of consent for payroll purposes.
Through EON Bank Group’s Business Internet Banking, the
salary crediting file can be approved by management from anywhere
in the world where there’s access to www.eonbank.com.my,”
explained Michael Lor, Head of Group Consumer Banking, EON Bank
Group.
Lor
continued, “With Online Payroll, all that needs to be prepared
is a salary crediting file containing details of the required
transactions. The file is uploaded via EON Bank Business Internet
Banking for the respective company’s internal management
online approval. Once approved, the file is sent online to EON
Bank for processing. It’s that simple! Just prepare, upload,
and approve.” This service’s simplicity and convenience
will be appreciated especially by SME customers, which are one
of the bank’s important target segments.
Being
internet-based, this also means that customers can truly enjoy
banking “anytime, anywhere” since they are able to
manage their accounts regardless of banking hours, including on
weekends and public holidays. More than 8,000 companies are already
enjoying the convenience of EON Bank’s Business Internet
Banking now. Online Payroll offers services to cater for various
payroll needs, including salary crediting for employees with EON
Bank accounts or MEPS member bank accounts (through Interbank
Transfer).
The
partnership signed today will also allow businesses and companies
to conveniently make statutory payments services for the Inland
Revenue Board (LHDN) and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) through
EON Bank Group’s internet banking service.
