E-commerce giant Shopee has launched a standalone app for its e-wallet, ShopeePay. The separate app is available to download on both iOS and Android through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store respectively.

When you open up the app, you have the option of logging in with your existing Shopee account or to sign up for a new account. Just like the e-wallet on the shopping app, you will have to verify your identity through an e-KYC method.

The app includes all the familiar features that are already available including QR code payments, transfers, requests, SPayLater, top-ups, bill payments, insurance renewal, and more. You can even earn and spend Shopee coins through the ShopeePay app for both online and offline transactions.

While there is nothing new in the app, having a separate e-wallet app does signal the company’s intention to compete for in-store transactions with the likes of other e-wallet apps like Touch ‘n Go eWallet. However, it does have some limitations, such as the lack of an ability to perform DuitNow transfers.

The stupid Shopee app is bloated with so many useless icons and sometimes a pop up will appear when you open it.

So when I'm at the counter I just wanna scan and pay.

Only reason I'm using this Shopee e wallet is because they haven't charged 1% on cc use and I get 8x cc points

yup... when open the app, sometime it will go straight to those live video, or the last page you see (ie item page, cart, checkout, game, etc)

It's not meant for user in mind

It's to separate out the MID, online marketplace (1); ewallet (1)

So it's the beginning of moving towards ~0.75%-1% cc reload charge

Notice their header for the benefits (including CC no reload fee), is not as heavily marketed or bolded

Shows that possibly they are not highlighting this as a seller, therefore not raising expectations and risking backfiring in future once they remove it
