You are right, no extra charge allowed to pay Shopee and Lazada.
But not top up ShopeePay and Lazada Wallet which are not Shopping platforms.
i think they only can apply the 1% if users use the ewallet to wd money, if using it to pay items still consider retail txn

the 1% cc reload fee were approved/sanctioned by BNM themselves la. now you see who's playing both sides
the ewallet player and the industry as a whole, including BNM the regulator, is fully aware of this.
this is also why BNM only allows max 1% cc reload fee to be passed down to users because i) nobody approved to charge higher, ii) cost of financing is on average hovers around 1% MDR from the acquirer banks.
so far the 1% only apply on few pure e-money provider which got no e-commerce shopping platform like shopee/lazada
that's why till now shopee/lazada still figure out how to apply the 1% fee
hopefully only when we try to wd back to bank then only will charge that 1%
