Govt earmarks RM18m for mobile banking services in rural areas, says deputy finance minister

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 — The government has allocated RM18 million for local banks to provide about 30 mobile banking units in the country, including Sabah and Sarawak, which will cover 250 rural zones and sub-districts.

He was explaining on the distribution of assistance, especially the Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat , when winding up the debate on the motion of thanks for the Royal Address in Parliament today. According to him, this is to facilitate future payouts at a convenient time for recipients without having to wait for the cashing out programme and the mobile banks to arrive at their location.
