The best e-wallet I have so far is Samsung Pay if it is even considered as e-wallet.
Now I'm trying Boost but in Penang, it has very limited coverage. I can't utilize to full extent but based on current usage experience, it's still above average!
As for BP and WeChat Pay, they're at the bottom of the list.

I'm a tech guy too!
I'm also debugging as everybody's inputs in here!

hmmm, well samsung pay helps to store credit cards and uses the 'wave' function. e-wallets i guess we need to topup with one way or another then to use it?

Each credit card stored in usable anytime, anywhere even though it has no pre-stored/pre-loaded money!
Which one is more dangerous you think?

I was't talking about you but referring to you and your scenario. Appreciate your efforts to help him solve his problem but I can't blame him for feeling frustrated. Just didn't want him losing his cool.

This is too small for me to lose my cool.
I can just walk away as simple as that!

So far, Wechat Pay is just your typical e wallet that's just embedded into your Wechat, what it can do is almost the same as other e wallets. Boost still wins in terms of wider coverage (although not that wide tbh), cashbacks and shake rewards.

I'm willing to bet that Boost will be leading the e wallet market here for the next few years, but if they keep up with their aggressive expansion and cashback promotions of course.

Also, one thing that Wechat Pay here lacks is that they still don't have the payment type where we users can pay by scanning the merchant's code, this is really useful for smaller merchants like pasar malam stalls and food trucks, just like what Boost is doing, but I believe they will sort this out soon, they better sort out their current issues first.

Samsung Pay is more to mobile payment, similar to Favepay (although recognized as an e wallet by many), just that Samsung Pay is way superior because of the way it works.

Btw, there's no KK in Penang right?

hmm, 1 of my FB friend also didnt see the Switch Wallet Region, latest version and linked with local phone.

So its just wechat bugs, and you are those unlucky one.
Better ask support team to patch asap.

KK Supermart?

None in Penang Island.

As a fellow Penangite, I agree that Boost's penetration in Penang is pretty meh. Based on their list of merchants, they're much more concentrated in Klang Valley.

unfortunately, most goodies are in klang valley first.

if i rmb right, Gurney Drive got 1 KK leh.

Nope, none at all.

so, whats e-wallets popular in Penang?

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

I wonder why though, not that Penang Island is a small city, even some smaller towns have KK mart.

KK mart is basically the store to go if you like using e wallets.

Better hope 7e, Mynews, 99 speedmart etc. will accept Boost and Wechat Pay soon.

I use Boost to pay PBA water bill and reload my parents DiGi prepaid (2 numbers).
That's all!

Wish they can add IWK bill in the future. LOL

Maybe i should try Boost and Favepay.

Almost non-existent LOL. I only know of 1 restaurant in Penang which accepts Boost while a couple more that uses Favepay.
