Payment / Currency
Payment & Currency Tips for Visitors
The Malaysian ringgit (MYR) is used in Kuala Lumpur. Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted at hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, and larger establishments. However, smaller businesses, local eateries, markets, and some taxi services may require cash payments. Mobile payment options such as DuitNow QR are also commonly used across Malaysia.
Tipping is not generally expected in Malaysia, as a service charge is often included in bills at hotels and restaurants. However, tipping is appreciated for good service. For example, small gratuities may be given to hotel staff such as porters or housekeeping, and customers may choose to leave a small amount as a gesture of appreciation at restaurants.
