DONATION FAQ

Can I donate goods, such as clothing and blankets, to help people affected by disasters?

We do not encourage contributions in-kind, largely because of the substantial cost of shipping goods and cost of storage at the disaster location.

With cash donations, MERCY Malaysia is able to purchase supplies in local regions or closer to the affected areas. This ensures that donation from the public is channeled to the people who need it most, and not utilised unnecessarily to cover logistic costs such as transportation, fuel and warehouse space rental. Purchasing goods at the affected region also helps to stimulate the local economy of the people affected by the disaster, and helps them rebuild their life faster.

What is the currency used for online donations to MERCY Malaysia?

All transactions will be in Ringgit Malaysia (MYR). However, if you are a non-Malaysian credit cardholder, you will be charged according to your base currency at the prevailing rate set by your credit card company.

Technical and Security Concerns

I’m donating using my credit card. Can I trust your site to keep my information secure?

Yes. We do not view or capture your credit card details.

All payment transactions are handled by iPay88, which has put in place various security requirements and compliance guidelines to curb fraudulent transactions from occurring.iPay88 complies with PCI Data Security Standard and Malaysia Payment System Act.

On our part, our donation page is hosted on a secure server to ensure integrity of data and security of your transaction.

Why does it say “Mobile88.com” on my credit card statement?

This happens because all payments are processed by iPay88, thus the transaction will appear as “Mobile88.com” or “Mobile88.com Sdn. Bhd.” on your credit card statement. Other payment methods such as local online banking are also processed by iPay88.

When I click on the button "Credit Card Payment with iPay88", nothing happens after that. Why?

I donated the wrong amount through the online payment gateway. Can I cancel my donation and get a refund?
