The MYDATA portal allows users to obtain current company registry data on over 7 million registered businesses in Malaysia: https://www.mydata-ssm.com.my.

Kyckr has also integrated MYDATA’s APIs into its international portal: https://portal.kyckr.com/, with both parties promoting the others complementary registry and data services under the agreement.

David Cassidy, Kyckr’s Managing Director said: "We’re pleased to announce that with Kyckr’s services available on the MYDATA portal, Kyckr’s international company information is now being actively promoted by MYDATA to their user base. This agreement provides us with direct access into an established customer base in Malaysia and follows a model we are actively looking to replicate as target expansion of Kyckr’s services in other Asian countries".
