FPX: paying from your online banking account
FPX is the method most Malaysians know from paying bills and online shops: you pick your bank from a list, log in to your own online banking, approve the payment and get sent back. If the Alibaba66 cashier lists FPX for your account, that is the flow you should expect. The set of methods and the limits depend on the account — check the cashier.

What an FPX deposit looks like, step by step
- Open the cashier and choose FPX (it may be labelled 'online banking').
- Enter the amount in ringgit and confirm.
- Pick your bank from the list. You are redirected to your bank's own login page.
- Check the address bar is your bank's real domain before typing your password.
- Approve the payment with your bank's usual security step, then wait to be sent back.
- Keep the reference number your bank shows until the deposit appears in your balance.
Why FPX withdrawals are unusual
FPX is built for paying, not for receiving. That is why a site that takes deposits by FPX will normally pay withdrawals by a separate route, most often a transfer to a bank account in your name. Before you deposit, look at the withdrawal page of the cashier and see which options are listed for your account. If you cannot find any withdrawal route that suits you, that is worth knowing before you put money in, not after.
Checks before you pay
- The merchant name on your bank's confirmation screen. Write it down: that is the name you will see on your statement.
- Whether the cashier shows any fee, and whether your bank adds its own.
- Whether a bonus is attached to the deposit automatically — you may prefer to decline it.
- The minimum and maximum shown for your account. We do not print figures because they vary.
Warning signs
A genuine FPX flow always takes you to your bank's own page. If a page asks for your online-banking username and password inside the casino's window, or asks you to send your one-time code to support, stop. The same goes for instructions to transfer to a personal account 'because FPX is down'. Those are classic fraud patterns, and they are not specific to any one site.
Your bank and gambling payments
Online gambling is an offence under the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, confirmed by the Court of Appeal in October 2023, and Malaysia issues no online casino licences. Banks may decline or question payments they identify as gambling-related, and a payment that goes through does not mean it is lawful. You carry the consequences; this page only explains how the method works.
Frequently asked questions
Can I withdraw with FPX?
FPX is designed for payments rather than payouts, so withdrawals usually go by bank transfer. Check the withdrawal page of the cashier for the options listed for your account.
Is there a fee for FPX deposits?
Any fee is shown in the cashier before you confirm, and your bank may have its own. We do not quote a figure.
Why was my FPX payment declined?
Common causes are daily limits set by your bank, a timeout on the bank's page, or the bank declining the merchant. Your bank can tell you which.
