Background

Sarveswaran (Sarves) was appointed Chief Commercial Officer of TNG Digital in June 2025, after rising through the ranks with a strong track record of delivering growth and purpose-driven impact. In his current role, he shapes the company’s commercial strategy, including strategic partnerships, merchant acquisition, and omnichannel expansion. More than just driving growth, Sarves is focused on building an inclusive financial ecosystem, one that opens doors for more Malaysians to participate in the digital economy, both at home and abroad.

With over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, Sarves has become a recognised name in Malaysia’s financial inclusion journey. He believes that technology, when used right, can break down long-standing barriers and create real change for those who need it most. His leadership reflects this belief, from enabling migrant workers to access affordable remittance services, to introducing payment innovations that reach beyond urban centres.

Before assuming his current role, Sarves served as CEO of TNG Digital Remittance, where he led some of the company’s most transformative moves, including the launch of the Touch ‘n Go eWallet Visa Card and cross-border QR payments. These transformative initiatives helped expand TNG Digital's international footprint while providing safer, more affordable financial solutions for underserved groups.

Before joining TNG Digital, Sarves held the role of Chief Money Services Business Officer at Merchantrade Asia. There, he was instrumental in pushing forward remittance, cross-border payments, and multi-currency wallets, laying the foundation for many of the digital financial services we see today in Malaysia.

Sarves remains actively involved in shaping the industry through his advisory role with the Malaysian Association of Money Services Business (MAMSB), following his previous leadership on the association’s council. His strong working relationships with regulators and partners across the ecosystem reflect not just his expertise in the field, but his commitment to compliance, innovation, and doing what’s right for communities that have long been overlooked.

At his core, Sarves is driven by a simple idea: financial services should work for everyone. And through every role he’s taken on, he’s been a force in making that a reality.
