Touch ‘n Go eWallet now offers its more than 20 million users a seamless payment experience in popular destinations such as mainland China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia.
This development brings its users a vast network of millions of merchant touchpoints, enabled through its integration with national cross-border QR payment and its partnership with Ant Group’s Alipay+.
For instance, Touch ‘n Go eWallet is now accepted across Indonesia’s QRIS network, allowing its users to pay seamlessly with competitive exchange rates at more than 25 million merchant touchpoints.
Users will be able to conveniently transact in the respective country’s local currency with real-time foreign exchange rates displayed in the eWallet before making payments. Payment will be deducted from their eWallet or their GO+ balance, just like payments done locally in Malaysia. More countries are also in the pipeline, including Philippines, Australia, and many more.
