Both are tied to payment apps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>eWallet apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Banking apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking applications,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The smartphone becomes the new parking payment device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shifts parking away from hardware-centric payment infrastructure toward software-driven ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Both rely on LPR technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the center of both systems is:<br><strong>License Plate Recognition (LPR)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vehicle plate number becomes the identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of relying on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Paper tickets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stored-value cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RFID tags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical tokens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The system identifies the vehicle directly and links it to its owner or payment activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a major transformation in parking technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car plate is becoming the new parking credential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Key Difference Between DuitNow QR and eWallet Direct<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although both leverage LPR and payment apps, their operational philosophies are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>eWallet Direct: The Fully Frictionless Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under eWallet Direct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Users pre-register their vehicle plate number inside a payment app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The payment app is linked to a parking system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upon entry and exit, the LPR system recognizes the vehicle automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking fees are auto-deducted directly from the registered payment account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>No ticket<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No card tapping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No scanning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No stopping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No payment interaction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply drive in and drive out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a truly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Touchless<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cashless<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frictionless parking experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An additional advantage is structured parking history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Users can easily trace parking records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review transactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain receipts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage claims or reimbursements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Parking becomes digitally organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DuitNow QR: Flexible and Open<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DuitNow QR works differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users do not need to pre-register their car plate number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The LPR system calculates parking fees,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dynamic DuitNow QR appears at the exit,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users scan and pay using any supported bank app or eWallet app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Near-frictionless parking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Broad payment accessibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower barriers to adoption<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The flexibility is powerful because users are free to choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Any preferred banking app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any participating eWallet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Without prior setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, compared to eWallet Direct, the parking history is less organized because transactions are spread across different apps and payment platforms, and mixed with non-parking transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why eWallet Direct Will Eventually Prevail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div

Lower MDR Means Higher Parking Income<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) has become one of the most important operational costs in modern parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Card-based payments generally carry higher MDR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>DuitNow QR,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and especially app-based direct deduction models,<br>often offer lower transaction costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For high-volume parking sites, even small MDR differences significantly affect profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lower MDR directly translates into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>higher net parking income,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>better operational margins,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and faster ROI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.
