Petaling Jaya, Malaysia – Neurogine Sdn Bhd, a leading Malaysian fintech solution provider was honoured with the prestigious World Digital Transformation Leadership Award at the Global Chinese Economic and Technology Summit (GCET) 2025, last night.

The award recognised the company’s pioneering contributions to digital payments, financial inclusion, and cross-border fintech innovations and marks a significant milestone for Neurogine. It also underscores Malaysia’s rising influence in the global digital economy.

Selected by an international panel of industry, government, and academic leaders, the accolade recognises Neurogine’s achievements in advancing contactless payments, enabling secure mobile-first commerce, and accelerating the digitalisation of businesses across emerging markets. “This award is a powerful validation of our mission to simplify, secure, and scale digital payments globally,” said Neurogine Chief Executive Officer Chen Chee Onn.

“We are honoured GCET has recognised our role in shaping digital transformation in Malaysia and increasingly across Asia and beyond.” The award was presented by former Ministry of Transport Minister and current Member of Parliament (Ayer HItam) Datuk Seri Ir. Dr. Wee Ka Siong and GCET Malaysia Co-Founder and Patron Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew.

Neurogine’s recognition comes at a time when the global payment landscape is experiencing unprecedented transformation. Global non-cash transactions are projected to exceed 2 trillion transactions by 2026, growing at over 16 per cent annually, as consumers rapidly shift away from physical cash.

In addition, the worldwide contactless payment market is expected to reach US69.7 billion in 2025, driven by Near Field Communications (NFC) adoption, smartphone penetration, and tap-to-pay utility. Neurogine’s product ecosystem including Neurogine n2Tap, Neurogine nToken, Neurogine nMerchant and more, including PCIcertified solutions and SmartPOS devices, directly aligns with this global shift, enabling governments, banks and Micro, Small and Medium Sized Enterprises to transition seamlessly into fully digital payment environments.

Building on rapid adoption across Southeast Asia, Neurogine is now preparing for strategic expansion beyond the region, leveraging its scalable cloud architecture, certified payment platforms, and strong Research and Development pipeline. “Our next phase is clear —we are expanding globally,” Chen added. “Demand for trusted, secure, mobile-first payment infrastructure is accelerating in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America. With this award, we are even more motivated to push Malaysian fintech innovation onto the world stage.”

Neurogine’s upcoming expansion strategy includes establishing new distribution and channel partnerships in key fintech growth markets, enhancing cross-border payment enablement and secure digital identity solutions, strengthening technology collaborations with device manufacturers, banks, and fintech platforms, and investing in AI-driven diagnostics and risk intelligence to support safer and more efficient digital transactions.

The Global Chinese Economic and Technology Summit is one of the region’s most influential platforms for policy leaders, corporations, and innovators. The award presented to Neurogine reinforces Malaysia’s position as a growing force in the global fintech landscape. “This recognition belongs to our team, our partners, and our customers,” said Chen. “We are committed to driving financial access, powering digital economies, and continuing to deliver innovations that help businesses thrive in a cashless future.”
