About Touch 'n Go eWallet
Touch 'n Go (TNG eWallet) is the centrepiece versatile app for Malaysia's cashless payments. Beyond QR code payments, it is directly connected to essential life infrastructure including highways, parking, public transport, utilities, and money transfers. Foreigners can also register using passport eKYC authentication, and its outstanding penetration—usable even at stalls and night markets—is a major appeal.
