FPX is the rail behind most Malaysian online bank transfers. Understanding it explains both why it's relatively safe and why deposits sometimes fail — and helps you spot when something isn't the real FPX flow.
How FPX protects you
With a genuine FPX payment you're redirected to your own bank's official page (CIMB Clicks, Maybank2u, RHB, Public Bank, etc.) to authorise. The merchant only receives a confirmation code — never your username or password. If a site asks you to type your banking password directly into their page, it is not real FPX. Leave.
Why deposits fail
The most common cause is a TAC or Secure2u approval that times out — you have a short window (often ~60 seconds) to approve in your banking app. Others: an insufficient daily transfer limit, or a bank maintenance window.
Good habits
Bookmark your bank's real login, check the URL before authorising, and keep transaction references. Never approve a request you didn't initiate.
