Why Pertama Digital exists?

Pertama Digital Berhad is transforming how the Rakyat experiences services provided to them by the government and large private organizations. We do this by removing barriers that are typically responsible for delayed responses to key digitalisation opportunities that would otherwise benefit the Rakyat.

Think of the last time you faced a poor experience in a government office or bank. Do you wish you could do something to make it better? Our entire business is underpinned by a philosophy adopted from the world’s fastest growing tech companies; build products that delights users and get paid only upon achieving successful product-market fit.

Pertama Digital has executed this successfully with projects like eJamin, the world’s first neobank for court bail payments, developed at zero cost to the government and in close collaboration with the Palace of Justice. eJamin is available at 177 courts across Malaysia, allowing some to achieve full cashless bail payments, while channeling millions of Ringgit of deposits to partner banks like CIMB and Bank Islam on a daily basis.

Pertama Digital is applying this disruptive model to other areas of the Rakyat-government relationship including payments, communication and workflows.

In due course, this Malaysian-built model will be exported to other emerging markets as the most equitable rapid public sector digitalisation model available in the market.
