Malaysia’s TNG eWallet enables ride bookings in 47 countries

TNG Digital, the Malaysia-based operator of TNG eWallet, launched an overseas ride-hailing feature on November 5.

The update lets users book and pay for rides abroad in the app.

Fares appear before confirmation, while trip details and transaction records remain available in the app.

Built with Alipay+, the feature supports ride-hailing in 47 countries and more than 12,000 cities via providers including DiDi Travel, AMap, and Bolt.

Users can pay in ringgit from their existing wallet balances.

Alipay+ connects merchants with multiple digital wallets through a single integration.

GrabPay also supports overseas merchant payments. This differs from booking rides in a digital wallet.

Bank Negara Malaysia, the country’s central bank, oversees payment services. Its January 2025 e-money policy sets out requirements for issuers.
