Handout photo shows the representatives of SKSB and Kopela at the signing ceremony held in Bintulu. KUCHING (May 31): Shoraka Kenyalang Sdn Bhd (SKSB) has collaborated with Koperasi Pelabuhan Bintulu Berhad (Kopela) in launching 'Bayar Jak', an all-in-one Islamic fintech liquidity platform. This strategic partnership marks the rollout of Earned Wage Access (EWA) services to Kopela cooperative members, empowering employees with real-time access to a portion of their earned wages, any time before payday. 'Designed to promote financial inclusion and reduce dependence on high-interest loans or unregulated lenders, Bayar Jak integrates seamlessly with employer payroll systems. 'Through its secure digital platform, employees can view and withdraw accrued earnings as needed, offering greater cash flow flexibility, particularly in times of financial need,' said SKSB in a statement. It added that Bayar Jak would continue to expand its suite of syariah-compliant digital financial services. 'Planned offerings include digital invoice financing solutions for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and tailored private credit facilities for civil servants, supporting the broader objectives of the Sarawak Digital Economy Blueprint 2030.' Bayar Jak, a strategic partnership between SKSB, a subsidiary of Shoraka Group and Kopela, the cooperative arm of Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad (BPHB), reflects a mutual commitment to advancing financial wellness and inclusion across Sarawak. Bayar Jak is operated by SKSB, a member of the Sarawak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI). It is aimed at empowering Sarawakians, local businesses and SMEs through syariah-compliant, accessible financial solutions that support economic resilience. As a cooperative associated with Bintulu Port in Sarawak, Kopela focuses on member welfare, economic participation and community development. Most of its members are employees of BPHB. Bayar Jak's EWA service also supports Sarawak's broader agenda to promote financial inclusion and well-being, offering a safer, more sustainable alternative to predatory lending practices.
