If I'm not wrong, Google Pay has extra charge fee to the merchant, there's a reason why it's still not mainstream even in their own homeland US, doubt it will be any different if it launches here, if it ever launches here of course.

Well, Samsung Pay has a lot of users around Malaysia. I personally like Android/Google Pay. Use it a lot. There's a limit of £30 for each transaction. Also, not all banks in the UK signed up with Google, some decided against them and due to certain "issues".

Let me elaborate it a bit more > I like it because I can make payments as soon as I unlock my phone. There's no need for me to open the app or anything too. (Some people might not like it due to safety reasons but I like the convenience of it).

Grab pay might have the least chance, most people still not taking grab

Samsung Pay totally skipped my mind.
I guess Samsung Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay will provide the best user experience but they are a different kind of wallet. They will still have a sizable market to serve. Their success will more likely be restricted to the willingness of the banks.

If that is true then the taxi drivers would not be complaining now, would they?

I will put boost and vcash in the same category. Both are initiated by telco. I am just uncertain on how much stamina they have to compete.
I would like to see merchants accepting all types of cashless transactions too but it might not be possible due to the number of terminals required and their reconciliation will be a nightmare. Maybe this is where a 3rd party can come in (e.g. like MEPS but hopefully don't act like MEPS)

Just my opinion.

You gotta multi-quote all posts into one post. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=faq&article=10

Boost is far better than VCash though I'm a Digi user.

Yes, just limit to few types and don't need to be so creative. If China, such a big country and is having the most cashless transactions in the world can survive with just two types, why not us?

Most people still drive their own

You can't use VCash to pay DiGi postpaid bill on the app.

IMHO, that's true for now but the behaviour are changing especially for the younger generations.

"Wechat Pay Malaysia" fb page is down, guys...

yeah, realised that around noon time. wonder what happened.

Maybe that's not an official WeChat Pay FB page?

Grabpay's chances are pretty good since they are collaborating with Maybank where they can access the merchant & user base of the biggest bank in the country. Grabpay is not limited to Grab rides only.


Work is already in progress in that area with Real-time Retail Payments Platform (RPP). Bank Negara is also working on a standard for QR codes that can be used by all the different mobile payment providers. Once everything is in place, most of the systems should be inter-operable. It would also be possible to send money between different e-wallet providers and the banks using only IC or mobile number. Imagine for example, transferring money from your Boost account to a relative's Public Bank account using only his mobile number even though your relative does not have a Boost account. Or transferring money from your Maybank account to your friend's WeChat Pay account using her IC number. Or transferring money from GrabPay to BigPay etc. This is provided that the e-wallet providers & banks join the platform. The developments are pretty exciting.

Guys, do I need an account at Hong Leong to use wechat pay?

Nope. Any debit card I supposed will work.

Cannot use also already 7pm

Probably closed by the official team cuz the page was leaking too much unannounced stuffs.

Yeah, most likely it's not, cuz previously when they announced the availability of the Wallet, they stated that the source was from Wechat Malaysia staff.

My wechat still don have malaysia wallet.. n I also need to search wallet only got wallet feature, but only china wallet.. don have change region option also..

Anyone experience after top up WeChat pay then when withdrawal money unable reach ur bank account after 2 working days? There no support phone to call as well, not sure this WeChat pay in Malaysia is a scam
