Having Unionpay and JCB as options are tempting though, I would probably ditch Bigpay because of this.
The only e wallets that you should have in your phone are Boost, Grabpay, TnG and Favepay...because they have a huge merchant base, and will be growing from time to time, don't forget that these are also the e wallets that provide decent rewards (TnG is seasonal though)...

Having these 4 e wallets are already enough (not saying that you should use all 4 of them but only consider these 4 if you wanna join the e wallet community), cuz you can use whichever that you wanna use during certain times and many merchants nowadays accept more than one e wallet (usually these 4), and when one is down, you have another one as backup.

The whole purpose for e wallets is for convenience and paying by just using your phone, and also getting rewards by making payments sometimes. Yes, our e wallets have a long way to go to be up to par with what China has, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try and embrace the cashless society for the future.

E wallets here are all following regulations under BNM, so there's no need to worry about their server. If people are worried about e wallets, then why do people still use banking apps, how do you know it's completely safe? Just because it's a bank, but then you get CIMB with their occasional data leak and stuff, but people are still using it anyways. If you say banking apps are safer cuz they follow regulations under BNM, then it's the same thing with e wallers as well.

For users staying in Sarawak, + SarawakPay but -TnG.
BTW Favepay is not really an e-wallet.

How is SarawakPay's merchant base in Sarawak so far? Saw KK Mart in KL accepts SarawakPay as well.

Yeah, Favepay is not an e wallet, but they're like mixing themselves among the bunch, which people at first would thought that it's really an e wallet, but logically it's not.
*
Expanding but not as popular as Boost. SarawakPay is a copycat.
It is backed and managed by Sarawak Government, so we use it to pay all the state government related bills and utilities. But now they move into retail stores.

Now Banks are removing rewards and rebates, and Boost is cutting down the rebates as well, then SarawakPay can be attractive now.

You will know why KK Mart in KL is accepting Sarawakpay after reading this news...

I am not living in West Malaysia so I cant comment on TnG (TnG adoption in Kuching where i live is quite low, from what I observe). Wechat pay also surprisingly low. Most merchants here adopts Boost. Fave and Grab Pay second.

SarawakPay is more attractive than Boost now if you want to pay electricity, water, assessment bills and at some retail/dining outlets.

FYI
- It is not a newly launched ewallet.
- it is not related to U Mobile but a company called i-serve.
- The CC topup is processed by Public Bank.
- Don't expect to receive the fund within 3 working days.

So using Bigpay and Boost are better options. Use another I/C.

It's doomed to fail, why would one use it when even Astro's own app is able to make bill payments? Let's not forget that other e wallets can do the same as well...

Astro got the license to offer e-wallet?
Payfy is not in BNM's list.

For Bigpay, already listed at the first post.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4623336

Grabpay more or less the same - online.

TnG ewallet is different, not online, so around 0.2% rebate/reward for most of the CCs
