Hi,I'm rider and yesterday I tried to activate GrabPay in my account, they asked for a passport/ID no and a picture of it, after some of hesitation I gave them my ID number and a photo of my ID.
Today morning I received this email :

I'm wondering why does a private company would like to know all these sensitive infos about me! were you asked for these infos? I'm thinking of removing my credit card info from my account and deleting my current account and making a new all-cash account, what do you advise?

Thanks

looks more like documents they would ask if you are signing up to be a driver. Don't recall them asking me for anything when i signed up for GrabPay.

signing up the grabpay wallet?

If not mistaken bank negara require all this compliance to prevent money laundering activities, as part of the e-wallet license.

That's why I didn't activate Grab Pay. Trade off personal information to a company somewhere just to use their online payment service. I can still use card to pay without Grab Pay though.
