Touch n Go eWallet is ready to announce at the beginning of this year that it will implement 100% user identity verification of their digital wallet. After being given a period of 10 months, now TNG eWallet announced that they will implement 100% eKYC effective December 20, 2024.
After that date, all TNG eWallet users will need to verify their identity before being able to use the digital wallet. Under eKYC, users will need to upload a photo of MyKad, before also uploading a selfie.
TNG eWallet says that by doing full verification, they will be able to overcome the problem of fake accounts or those used for fraudulent activities, in addition to increasing the integrity of the TNG eWallet ecosystem.
For existing TNG eWallet users who have not done verification yet, TNG says it will be limited gradually - until they do identity verification.
For now, TNG eWallet does not share anything related to MyDigital ID integration that may further facilitate the identity verification process.
