News & Reviews:   Setel

Since the eMADANI launch two days ago, many Malaysians have successfully claimed while others didn't. That being said, it turns out that the RM100 credit has quite a few restrictions. 

With the launch of eMADANI program yesterday (4 December 2023), the Ministry of Finance Malaysia announced that over 7 million Malaysians have applied for the RM100 credit across MAE, Touch 'n Go eWallet, ShopeePay and Setel. The figure was confirmed at 5 PM yesterday on the government's official Facebook account.

If you frequently refill your petrol at Petronas, you might be familiar with the Setel app. Today, the platform is experiencing high traffic of users because of the e-Madani aid. That said, what should you know about it?

The eMadani program has begun today and in case you missed it, the four platforms that will give away the free RM100 credit are none other than Maybank's MAE app, ShopeePay, Touch 'n Go eWallet and Setel. And like before, there are some differences between each of them and if you're not sure which to claim, here's a breakdown of what you can get from each platform. 

Yesterday, our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the official distribution date for the RM100 e-Madani (formerly known as e-Tunai). Eligible participants can redeem the RM100 credit starting from 4 December 2023 but the providers were not mentioned until today. 

Do you frequent Petronas often? A loyal customer of Petronas? If your answer to these questions is yes, we have great news for you. Recently, Setel announced the availability of TreatsPoints and cashback perks for their customers. That said, what should you know about these perks?

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. 

Previously, we shared a preview of Setel Lite, which as the name would suggest, is the lighter version of the Setel app. Now, the Setel Lite app is official and available for download via the Google Play Store and HUAWEI AppGallery.

With the popularity of e-wallets, Petronas launched the Setel app in 2018 as a way for Malaysian drivers and riders to quickly complete payments without having to queue at the counter. But what is Setel Lite, and what does it do?

Today, Setel announced that Setel app users can now use DuitNow QR. Integrated with the Setel Pay feature, it can now be used to scan and pay at any merchant that displays the DuitNow QR code.
