So Boost ewallet also will continue to exist as separate app?

How is it different?

With the bank app also will have duitnow QR.

It's just that e-wallet have limit in total amount can be kept.

RHB Bank has it own Duitnow QR but also owns Boost Bank.
CIMB has it own Duitnow QR but also owns TNG Digital.
Maybank has it own MAE but also owns Grabpay.

Different legal entities.

Alright, seems that's the answer. smile.gif

boost bank still couldn't issue debit card yet

no approval given to issue card.

better wait first.

Boost probably slow

But if I'm not mistaken Aeon didn't had the debit card approval but after launch, got debit card already..

Boost will not be attractive than GX and AEON I believe.  rclxub.gif

Aeon I'm not sure, I open the account haven't used it yet.

GX definitely cannot. Made in Singapore. Look at the app, in my opinion.. it's very nice. Aeon still buggy, maybe give a year and judge. But for a start it's quite okay.

Boost bank will be made in Malaysia. Look at Celcom life app, and also RHB app... Axiata also makes Yoodo app, so laggy on my flagship android. Can guess the quality of boost bank app. But I'm being pessimistic and hope that I'm wrong. Maybe iPhone apps are smooth.

It might be separate app, despite the current boost ewallet has bank section. Different entity I believe.

yes very basic. Even account number already can guess got 700 people using it.
2.5% on main acc
3.6% on jar
link to boost ewallet. upgraded to platinum.
It is just very basic without anything. even no welcome gift. At least aeon and gxbank can get welcome gift. So not advisable to open if u dont mind to have basic saving acc.
Quite hard to navigate compare to gx and aeon.
Duitnow link dont work ..showed empty and unable to change to ic or mobile. one word to say, not ready and rush to out to market.
Dont understand the purpose of have an icon Bank at Boost ewallet but dont anything. may be only for change your status from, gold to platinum....lol
*
Oh need to link to upgrade to platinum

I didn't link.. I didn't want to link also.

I use separate app.

Guess now I have to link

Kinda weird though, no digital bank has support for apple/google pay. Whichever does it first, gonna get userbase. Should focus on apple/google pay, I think easier to implement than to focus on SME and micro-SME segments. After that, can focus on SME.

they were forced to launch.

internally, they have issues too and they need to prioritize what can launch first (aka MVP or minimum viable product)

other features will come along later in the pipeline.

now, it's just diedie meeting bnm target to launch.

also integration with x-Pay takes resources to integrate. googlepay is zero setup fee. applepay, as usual, selective and stringent. there's some fees too.

it's not just a switch. there are 3rd party systems involved too. at least 2-3 parties to make the x-Pay work from end-to-end.

So this deadline should apply to other digital banks right? Waiting for YTL/Shopee one.

Silent only.

Funny... What makes you think a digital bank should support Google pay or apple pay to be considered a digital bank ?

Well, if it's not necessary then not necessary then. smile.gif
