FavePay and BP
I always my colleagues talk about BP almost everyday!
I didn't use FavePay!

Even the login for the app is not the same as the TnG portal LOL.

Anyway, TnG app will definitely see a huge increment of users soon when they start to introduce RFID.

IMO, the e wallets to avoid currently are Maybank QRpay, TnG, Vcash, Kiplepay and other lesser known ones. They serve not much purpose other than hogging your phone storage.

There's a chance that you will install TnG, if they get their RFID and QR Transit (public transport) right, of course.

Boost and Favepay are the way to go for e wallets, Wechat Pay is still gonna be in your Wechat anyways so it wouldn't matter if you use it or not.

But he has tried to install on another phone IINM. I think it's his WeChat ID that has been locked down or something like that.

EDIT: I take that back. He has even tried to register as new user LOL.

I guess it starts with the people's mentality in that particular country.

Like South Korea, people there prefer to pay using debit/credit cards for everything, even for a bottle of mineral water in a convenience store.

Like Hong Kong, they are lucky to have a unified card payment service like Octopus which is supported in almost everywhere, basically the company behind Octopus did everything right from the start, unlike our bloody money sucking TnG.

Also an extra mention to Japan, with their unified card payment service like Suica, basically a card that can be used almost everywhere, and can be linked to your Apple Pay or Google Pay.

With these kind of cashless societies, many people there are comfortable when paying by phone.

But we're not, cuz cash is still king for us.

TnG is a total failure.
They tried to mimick HK and SK but failed miserably.
With their closed environment business model, it is not going to leap anywhere forward.
Hope with the new government, they realize that they cannot be staying at the same technological time point forever!

Both merchant and consumers need to pay active role.
Cashless or mobile payment is a long way to go for MY.

They tried to copy WeChat pay UI so hard! No wonder it looks kind of familiar when I used WeChat pay for the first time

Touch n go e-wallet is based on the alipay payment system. TNG Digital is a joint-venture concern with Alibaba Group affiliate Ant Financial Group.

Didn't want to download tng wallet previously but did it recently because of the RFID. Already registered to be a pilot user. It's supposed to start in Sep. RFID will be fully introduced starting next year.

Yes, be the pilot user and the installation of the sticker is waived. Not sure how much they will charge later. Top up using tng wallet app and then can pass toll using RFID lane.

wow u're rare species. most malaysians use whatsapp.

In contrary, actually I don't like WeChat.
The most annoying gesture with WeChat is when people talking to each other using the walkie-talkie approach!

Can we tansfer money in WeChat Pay to bank account? If yes, how n what is the charges?

Wow! 3 days is like cheque clearing. Taking too long. They should try and make it max 1 day or the best would be like instant transfer.

I'm having doubts on BNM by the way they enforce something, if they were good, there wouldn't be issues like merchants imposing minimum amount for card payments. They provided a solution to report the merchants, but it doesn't help much but giving hassle to those who really wanna report, and those who wanna report will choose to give up instead because it's a waste of time.

Also, it's hard to change the mindset of the majority when they're heavy reliant on cash, and most here will only try out something when there's hype or benefits.

Not necessarily 3 days lah, it's just within 3 days.

Sometimes it could take as quick as 1 day if I'm not wrong.

Like someone said before, the one with the deepest pocket will be the winner.

Boost has burned a lot of money from their cashbacks and promotions, and now they're leading the e wallet market, although it's still not that mainstream yet. Since their 50% cashback promotion is ending next week, hope they will have something more attractive to keep the hype going.

Wechat should do the same as well, Tencent has tons of money so it shouldn't be a problem.

1 time only.

Sorry is bigpay cant use? it say invalid in wechat wallet

Yup, as much as I hate TnG, I can see the potential of it and hope they can get their shit right.

Lowest no problem, can ask for money packets from friends or family.
I remember someone here once said that Bigpay couldn't be linked with Wechat Pay anymore.

can't claim anymore? I received the message that run out of packets

No way you can withdraw RMB unless you have linked a China account.

Spend in China.

Spend in China, I guess.
It was said that it's until 28th August though.
Yup.
