If I remember correctly, to upgrade to premium wallet, u need to key in NRIC no. and name as per IC, Kbut I wonder whether they check whether it is valid IC no since u don’t need to upload IC copy..

Also, the transfer limit is capped at RM500 per month if u didn’t verified with IC copy + selfie

Thanks for the exact info! Transfer limit is even though limit at Rm500 per month but the spending is RM4.5k which I needed the most lol.

Seems like they want to make a one-stop app for everything...
Would be good if the GPS isn't always turned on when using the app. Serve no purpose since it doesn't do navigation.

I tried to top up boost with Bigpay, and it gives me the 2 OTPs.

Tried keyed in the 2nd OTP, unsuccessful, tried keyed in the 1st OTP, also unsuccessful.

I have not top up anything today. But yesterday i made a large top up of RM700 and split my payment at the store with 7x RM100.

Any advise?

Use your credit /debit to top up Boost directly, bypass Bigpay, not worth earning extra Big points!

I know what it's use for.
Since I kept my location services on, this status kept showing, which means boost is constantly requesting GPS location, which it shouldn't be doing.

This is not a good suggestion though. Best way is have boost only request position ONCE during start up and request more IF NECESSARY.

yes obviously there will no good suggestion for you because the change can only be done from app coding.

so, best is to keep complaining to boost to change their app. thumbsup.gif

Boost is efficient. Withdraw on 1/8 next day 2/8 in acc. I think Presto delays purposely.
