Damn, Celcom is so RICH~~~ if compared with HLB/Wechat

too many app but not one superior one....... difficult to load everyone into phone, and also load money into everyone

Ya, so follow major market acceptance lah~

TNG backend system still lamn, even with alipay tech and experience support, their transaction network is slow and still not able to fully integrate or replace TNG card, one word --> not convenient to use

See their respective user comments on app store will know, alot of good comments for boost, alot of complaint for TNG

The TnG card is a dinosaur technology which the card balance needs to update manually.
This can be seen in auto-reload on Zing card.

The TnG physical card balance in the TnG App can only be reflected with the latest balance within 48 hours of the last transaction.

Full integration is complex for TnG physical but RFID will be more promising!

It's Axiata, to be specific. Celcom is just one of their telco service, along with few telcos in few countries of Asia. Don't forget that MVNO telcos like RedOne and Yoodo are riding on their newtork as well.

They probably earning way more than we think lol.


Use the major ones like Boost and Favepay, smaller ones are probably destined to fail due to the small budget in penetrating the market.

I've noticed that TnG app will update the card balance every few hours (probably 4-5 hours) which is still slow and unpractical. Unlike other countries like Suica in Japan, the balance update is instant. The 48 hours thing is for toll usage if I'm not wrong.

RFID is not that useful, especially for those who don't drive cars and rely on public transports. So TnG still gotta improve on the linking feature between the card and app, and also implement the QR code payment system to more LRT stations and also MRT and buses ASAP.

Orait, it's Axiata.

Boost was niche but Favepay it's not attractive for me...

RFID might only useful for motor users, but what's if hybrid e-wallet with NFC phones?
For ideas, just wave phone to buy goodies, passing thru LRT/MRT/KTM without beratur?

It's obvious that TnG is setting their future path on QR code tech instead of NFC, doubt they will fork out another budget to implement NFC tech even though it's a great idea.

Many suggested them to implement NFC tech for linking card to the app, but they said NFC tech is inclusive and not every phones have NFC. Oh well...

Again, I wouldn't expect much on TnG.

True, mostly Malaysian phones don't have NFC, this depend distributors wanna import or not...
Maybe few years later after Samsung Pay and other NFC payment success, then...

I don't think NFC is gonna take off here. First of all, many don't even know what is NFC, even when some of them have NFC on their phones. Secondly, there's no one to give it a headstart and retain a smooth process, Maybank and CIMB tried to do it but both failed badly.

NFC payment is gonna remain exclusive to only Samsung Pay, unless there are any local companies who would like to do it or when Google and Apple decide to launch their payment services here but doubt it's gonna happen even in the future.

Maybank is partnering with Grabpay. But seems nothing happened so far.

But Maybank got developed own Maybank Pay (NFC) and Maybank QRpay, maybe they wanna their users using well-known platforms and giving up silently...
Could be same happening to CIMB Pay and HLB PEx too...
(I never saw someone using it, and hardly saw any Merchant promote it too)

New player spotted?

What it mean by no more token cards?

Should be read as two separate sentences, "No more tokens. Card only!"

Folks, any suggestion the best credit card to associated with eWallet?

SamsungPay also okay for me lah...no need to bring the cc/debit card to pay anymore.

Still waiting for Touch and Go e wallet to let me top up my cards online and pay for more stuff with it

I'm anxiously waiting for Malaysia to embrace cashless as well, just like China and Japan. So often i find it annoying to fiddle with loose change or heavy wallets. I hope one day i can just tap my phone or card when paying for a cup of coffee at the mamaks.
