As a reminder, we reported about the RM100 e-Tunai redemption back in October and it's coming real soon. Our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed the distribution date and it shall begin on 4 December 2023 and until 20 February 2024.

Today, the eBeliaRahmah has finally begun and to refresh your memory, the RM200 redemption can be claimed from your Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost and Setel (oddly, Grab is not present). Besides the RM200 redemption, there are also other promos that you can get such as vouchers and even a trip to Singapore. 

Boost today launched its integration with the world’s largest mobile gaming platform, Google Play which is powered by Boost’s cross-border payment platform. The new feature allows users to instantaneously purchase credits both on the Google Play Store and within the respective gaming and streaming apps through seamless and secure in-app transactions.

During a colourful event in Kuala Lumpur today, Boost launched its refreshed brand along with an update on future plans for the coming months and 2023. Fresh from its recent Digital Bank License award from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Boost aims to fuel greater financial inclusion for Malaysia and across the region by utilising the power of technology and artificial intelligence (AI).

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has announced that all facilities under its helm will start going cashless from 1 October 2022. This is according to circular issued by its secretary-general, Datuk Harjeet Singh dated 21 June 2022.

Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) School of Business and Economic Assoc Prof Dr Anuar Shah Bali Mahomed has lauded the recently launched Malaysia Digital initiative for its ability to reduce corruption. Specifically, the initiative’s comprehensive implementation of a cashless system will reduce occurrences of corruption as bribes are usually made in cash to avoid being traced.

Some may find it a hassle to open the e-wallet app when wanting to pay. If there's a slow internet connection, the payment process would be awkward, especially when there's a long line behind you. Luckily, more and more e-wallet platforms are rolling out physical cards nowadays. Boost has become the latest platform to join the force by announcing a partnership with Mastercard.

There's GrabFood, ShopeeFood, Food Panda and Boost is the latest player to enter the game. Promptly called Boost Makan, this platform seems to focus more on helping F&B merchants to bring their businesses online without complicated backend systems and hidden fees. 

Starting today, eligible Malaysian students aged between 18-20 years old across the country will be able to claim their RM150 eBelia credit from the Malaysian government on Boost, Touch n' Go eWallet, Shopee Pay and BigPay. Through Boost, the company has just announced that they will also top up with an additional reward worth up to RM300, making it a total of RM450.

Our government is back with another financial aid with the initiative to encourage cashless spending among youths and full-time students at registered local institutions of higher learning (IPT). Besides that, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) also hopes that it could ease the financial burden of the target group.
