Because bad sales, some hawkers prefer instant money and couldn't wait for e wallets to cash in because it will take a day or two to transfer to their bank account.

If you see a hawker suddenly stopped accepting e wallets, it means their business isn't doing well.

Had a funny feeling it was because of that.

I tried to be friendly to all of them and they actually let me touch their mpay device for me to verify  rclxm9.gif the error is "connection refused" nothing they can do but to wait for mpay to come fix their own shit.

My best experience was 99speedmart using their dedicated phone to scan. Yes initially some of the staff don't even know how to use or have access. I talked to the manager suggesting him/her to create cashier profile for them... The next time I go to these branches, every staff know how to use  rclxms.gif

We do need more people like you but it shouldn't be the customer teaching them how to use. Same old same old Malaysia.

Anyone successfully asked them to reverse a transaction? I did one payment at oldtown but only deducted the amount in my boost account but their payment machine never got through. I already sent email and also contacted support in the app but so far only said we are looking into it. Any advice?

I have a feeling that Boost is facing some drama in the team or there's something bad going in there...

The sudden resignation of their CEO is kinda showing something...

Hope I'm wrong, cuz if they fail in the future, the e wallet game here is gonna die off for sure.

Won't die off but the e wallet game will slow down with less competitors.

Doubt that.
They're under Berjaya ecosystem.

Not exactly. Wendy's support boost as well. No idea why 7-11 and family mart never support boost.

So far all the Wendy's i went support boost.

Boost really need to buck up especially on the lag time of banking in the money and customer service.

Don't just rely on boost. Better keep other payment options available.

You can always app lock all the e wallet app with your fingerprint if your phone supports it. That's what i did.

Apparently nowadays boost will stick the can pay with boost sticker before it even comes online. Kinda misleading.

Today tried to pay at KFC Berjaya Times Square, couldn't load the QR code and there was a long queue behind, ended up using paywave, and once the cashier switched the payment method from e wallet to card, then only the QR code came out.

Thanks Digi.

I switched to maxis sometime back and never looked back. So far maxis has been more stable for me.

Boost sucks! Failed me when I need it the most. Purposely reload RM1000 and cannot pay for my purchase. I’m going to withdraw all balance and close the account.

We are not at wechat pay and alipay level in china yet. Such big purchases use credit card for now.
