As Malaysia continues to advance its nationwide e‑invoicing framework — with over 106,000 businesses adopting e-invoicing and more than RM735 million e-invoices issued — organisations are increasingly seeking robust, compliant middleware to integrate with LHDN’s system.
FINEXUS offers two e‑invoicing middleware solutions — AREMA Premium and AREMA Enterprise — both engineered for organisations that demand seamless integration, reliability, and regulatory compliance. While they share core features, each solution is purpose‑built to meet the distinct needs of different sectors.
Shared Strengths Across Both AREMA Premium and AREMA Enterprise
Both AREMA Premium and AREMA Enterprise are bank-grade middleware, securely connecting the banks and enterprises’ ERP and accounting systems to LHDN, with full compliance.
Across both tiers, AREMA clients can benefit from:
Customisable workflows to streamlined approvals and exception handling
Real-time validation before submission for 100% compliance
Real-time API or SFTP with automated reconciliation with LHDN
Hosting within FINEXUS’ fully owned data centres for data sovereignty
AREMA Premium: Flexibility and Power for Large Enterprises
AREMA Premium is designed for large enterprises that require a high degree of customisation without the complexity of stringent banking-level regulatory constraints. It is ideal for companies with large transaction volumes that want robust automation and compliance while retaining ease of adoption.
AREMA Enterprise: Purpose-Built Power for Banks and Insurance Sectors
For heavily regulated industries, AREMA Enterprise delivers a higher level of performance and security. Beyond the shared features found across the AREMA platform, it introduces RMiT-compliant middleware, designed to meet the stringent financial regulatory requirements, as well as a single-tenancy that isolates workloads for maximum security and performance.
AREMA Enterprise is built specifically for institutions that manage the most demanding transaction volume — making it the preferred choice for banks and insurance companies.
Conclusion: E‑invoicing in Malaysia — What’s Next
Malaysia’s e‑invoicing rollout continues to evolve in 2025 and beyond, with phased implementation schedules adjusted to support businesses of all sizes while promoting digital tax compliance.
As the digital tax ecosystem matures, solutions like AREMA Premium and AREMA Enterprise will play a pivotal role in helping organisations integrate smoothly with LHDN’s e‑invoicing infrastructure, supporting Malaysia’s broader ambition to digitalise and modernise its tax compliance landscape.
Mohd Hazli Mat Jusoh, Project Manager of Finance Department CBP (Koperasi Co-opbank Pertama Malaysia Berhad) shared, “We chose AREMA for its strong local e-invoicing expertise and comprehensive LHDN- and Peppol-compliant platform that integrates seamlessly with our systems, ensuring business continuity without major process changes. Its structured workflow, scalability for high transaction volumes, and proactive technical support — backed by clear guidance, complete documentation, and regular updates — gave us the confidence to proceed over other providers.”
