When is the turn for TNG to implement this?

try to add Maybank credit card to iPhone's Apple Pay but why now need MAE app to verify? Problem is my MAE is on my iPad and no verification message appears on the app.

Why MAE app needs to be on the same device as ApplePay? Anyway to get around this?

just unbind and
put on phone

I saw Malaysia also in the list, perhaps it depends on whether tngo x tngo ewallet willing to integrate this feature into tngo ewallet

TNG most likely no. US sanction & trade war. Besides, TNG dont need apple pay/google pay to grow

I managed to add a China T-Union transport card to my Apple Wallet via Alipay and used it in China. Then, I linked it to my Apple Watch. It is so convenient to tap it using my AW on the metro and bus, it is easier than scanning in and out with the Alipay QR.

It was almost the same experience as using the Suica card on AW in Japan. The only difference is that I can reload Suica directly using AW, but as a foreigner, I will need to use Alipay to reload this T-Union card. Still, it's an easy process.

I still find QR link to my TnG card easier, no need reload. Just scan all the way. Best is I also get the most favourable exchange rate between CNY - MYR.
Yours should be the Changan NFC交通卡?

Yeah but I lazy to scan. Moreover, I prefer to use Alipay to TnG. I have a China colleague who works in Malaysia and she will transfer RMB to my Alipay while I pay her back using MYR. Big amount of spending I will use cards directly.

That’s right, it’s the Changan Card. I have tried several cities’ cards and only this works, others will require Chinese ID or Chinese bank account.

Just went to BHP to pump petrol, but couldn’t use Amex via Apple Pay at counter (manual cashier). Since I didn’t bring the physical Amex card, I ended up using another bank card instead….

Their terminal outside cannot use Amex. Always use physical amex card and make payment at the cashier. Today didn’t bring along. But Amex via Apple Pay cannot

I don't see a possibility of QR with this, cause as of 2 weeks ago when I last take public transport, there's nothing changed to accommodate camera at all the stations.
Mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay) a bit skeptical, except if they silently and discreetly updated their system in the tap in tap out terminal.
Some said this is the TnG eWallet provisioning via the NFC-capable TnG card.

nope. quite hard and apple pay support in malaysia for majority bank and others quite slow

I was in China last month and tried using the Jin Hua card. That T-Union card auto reloads and auto charge the fee to my wise card. Quite good. Maybe you can try.

Nice but what is a Jin Hua card?
I'm using Xiamen T-Union card now as it doesn't require deposit and also linked to my AW.

This also no deposit but got auto reload function.

Oh. Got it.
That’s nice with the auto-reload function. Thanks for recommending!

Approaching August 2025, still no new banks going for Apple Pay?

dont put high hope. high fees

well banks just aren't interested. Maybanks and the few who support Apple Pay still profit
