We’re all about going cashless in the year 2025. From online shopping to parking and tolls, and even paying for your movie tickets, the Touch ‘n Go eWallet makes mobile payments fast, and most importantly, convenient. Here are some ways your Touch ‘n Go eWallet comes in handy:
| Features | Things To Take Note Of |
| Pay tolls via RFID & PayDirect | 👉 The Touch ‘n Go eWallet app will not fully replace your Touch ‘n Go Card as most Malaysia tolls still do not offer auto-debit transactions from the app. So do ensure that your Touch ‘n Go card is topped up at all times! 👉 We suggest using the app for payments just like how we use PayNow right here in Singapore (see below!) |

How to pay with the TnG eWallet?
Using the Touch ‘n Go eWallet for payments in Malaysia is not only simple but convenient. With over 360,000 participating merchants in Malaysia, your Touch ‘n Go Wallet is accepted just about everywhere. Simply open up the Touch ‘n Go app and scan the merchant’s QR code — or let them scan yours. Look out for the Touch ‘n Go logo displayed near checkout and you’re good to go!
Shopping online with the Touch ‘n Go Wallet is just as easy. Major platforms like Lazada in Malaysia accept it. When you’re ready to pay, simply choose “Touch ‘n Go” as your payment method and follow the prompts.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Always double-check if the merchant accepts the Touch ‘n Go Wallet, and make sure your wallet balance is enough to cover the purchase. Some overseas merchants may not support Touch ‘n Go payments, and if they do, currency conversion fees might apply.
But as long as your Touch ‘n Go eWallet is linked to a multi-currency card like YouTrip which offers competitive MYR rates and zero FX fees, you won’t have to worry about that.

Using the Touch ‘n Go eWallet for transport
The Touch ‘n Go Wallet makes traveling easier too. You can purchase train tickets online, although some transport systems, like buses, still require a physical Touch ‘n Go card.
For tolls, pair your Touch ‘n Go eWallet with a Touch ‘n Go RFID tag. Simply install the RFID tag on your vehicle (you can do it yourself or get it done professionally) and link it to your Touch ‘n Go eWallet. This lets you zip through RFID toll gates without stopping, as payments are deducted automatically. Just ensure your wallet is topped up or enable PayDirect for auto top-ups!
