Although the use of e-wallets has become more prevalent, there are still many who question why we should use them. Some think of e-wallets as a way to avoid carrying cash, and they're not wrong, but there can be other benefits. For example, help you save thousands of ringgit on expensive smartphones.

By now, most of the youths have already claimed their ePemula credits but we also saw lots of memes on Twitter. On the platform, it seems that many of them are rather disappointed by some of the limitations.

The Finance Ministry (MOF) in a statement yesterday announced that around 2 million Malaysian youths will receive an RM150 e-wallet credit starting this mid-April. Part of the government’s ePemula scheme, those that are eligible include youths aged 18 to 20 as well as full-time students in higher learning institutions.

Furthermore, those eligible would get to enjoy the benefit through one of four e-wallet providers, which are BigPay, GrabPay, ShopeePay and Touch ’n Go. MOF said that the four e-wallet service providers have a network of 1.2 million retailers in Malaysia.

Many of you may have heard of it by now, but if you didn't, the government is launching a new programme called e-Pemula. The plan is to distribute a total of RM300 million to Malaysians in the form of e-wallet credits. Of course, there's a stipulation on who gets to benefit from this.

Based on Grab Singapore’s official website, it seems that Grab has officially started allowing users to transfer funds in their GrabPay wallet to their bank account. But that’s not all, it seems that it also allows Grab users to transfer funds to other e-wallets as well with no additional minimum transfer and no transaction fees.

Great news for Malaysians who like to use GrabPay! You can now enjoy savings up to 50% off when you pay your online goods with GrabPay. This 10.10 campaign starts from now until 31 October 2020.

After going through an economic downpour due to the pandemic, our government is doing everything they can to bring the businesses back to life. Earlier, the e-PENJANA program that has raised a total of RM1.5 billion among private companies was introduced to distribute free RM50 (e-wallet credit) + RM50 (discount voucher and cashback) to every Malaysian e-wallet user. Now, the plan is finally going to kickstart starting from 31 July onwards.

All of you must have known that our government is distributing e-wallet credit again as the MySejahtera app has crashed earlier due to a large number of sign-ups (haha~). It looks like things just got better as the finance minister has announced that they are increasing the total value of RM50 as previously announced to RM100!

Grab has officially announced that they will be supporting the Malaysian Government in encouraging cashless payments adoption, by rewarding customers up to three times more GrabRewards Points to those who pay via GrabPay. Unfortunately, those who pay via cash will not be eligible for the extra points as it only applies to GrabPay transactions.

Following up for 2020 this year, Digi showed off their 5G tech, Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League Season 5 teams got confirmed and GrabPay weighed in on their e-Tunai eWallet. There’s also a number of CES awards for LG and HONOR while MoUs got signed and more. Check it out below.
