Ever heard of insurance for your parking? Today, local conglomerate Touch n’ Go has launched the first-ever off-street parking insurance/takaful. This feature is called ParkInsure. That said, what should you know about ParkInsure?

Today, Touch 'n Go Digital announced a new partnership with Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB). This marks the first and only eWallet agent to offer investments in ASNB unit trusts for Malaysians, which enables them to subscribe to all 17 ASNB unit trusts through the GOinvest feature through the TNG eWallet. These also complement the 9 unit trusts that are currently available on GOinvest. 

Last year, TNG Digital Sdn Bhd in collaboration with CIMB Bank Sdn Bhd introduced GOpinjam, a short-term personal loan through the former’s TNG eWallet app. Well, despite initial controversy regarding its high-interest rate, the service has been really popular among Malaysians who need fast cash.

Touch ’n Go eWallet has reminded users to link their eWallet account to their device by 3 April 2023. This is because the fintech platform will be implementing TapSecure, a new one-tap transaction approval function on that date.

Anthony Loke, Malaysia’s Minister of Transportation recently announced that all public transportation will apply an open payment system so you may be able to use credit and debit cards to pay for Public Transportation. Previously, you could only use tokens or Touch N’ Go cards to make digital payments for Public Transportation like buses, LRT, MRT and Komuter.

Touch ’n Go eWallet recently launched ‘Scan QR in/out Parking’ in Malaysia which gives users a more seamless payment experience at selected parking sites. Announced via a Facebook post, read on to find out more regarding the new feature.

Previously, we reported that the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) had recommended Touch ’n Go (TnG) implement several immediate actions to resolve issues arising from its services. TnG subsequently implemented a few initiatives following an engagement session with the KPDN special task force but now, the ministry has announced that they are still insufficient.

The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) has recommended Touch ’n Go (TnG) change the name of its visa card. This is because the word “Touch ’n Go” is synonymous with the toll payment system, hence it would confuse the public who may get the visa card for the purposes of paying for tolls when the card is unable to do so.

With CNY just around the corner, many are once more planning their balik kampung drive. As usual, we can expect massive congestion on major highways like PLUS Highway. Fortunately, the Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia plans to ease the burden this year.

Regarding the recent scam of a man who lost over RM23,000 from his Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet, the TNG eWallet company sent out a reminder on its social media about looking out for potential scammers.
