January highlights: Tap & Pay for everyone and a security reminder

The new year is off to a strong start, and January has already brought some exciting updates for TNG eWallet users. From making Tap & Pay more accessible to keeping an eye out for scams, here’s what you need to know this month to enjoy a safer, smoother cashless experience.

Tap & Pay is now for everyone

Tap & Pay was once limited to certain devices and platforms, limited to certain phones and ecosystems. Now, with BlueTap, TNG eWallet users can just pay with a simple tap of their NFC-enabled smartphones, including Android phones. Fast, secure, and seamless.

And for businesses, accepting Tap & Pay is just as simple with BlueTap, an all-in-one payment device that helps merchants make modern cashless payments more accessible to more people.

Here’s what this means for everyone at the counter:

For customers: Tap to pay using your eWallet
For merchants: Accept QR and tap-to-pay on a single terminal for smoother checkout

SARA scam messages are going around. Stay alert

There has been fake SMS messages and online posts circulating that attempt to trick users into sharing personal details by claiming you can “claim” SARA (Sumbangan Asas Rahmah) via TNG eWallet.

Reminder: TNG eWallet does not facilitate SARA claims.

Any message asking you to click a link, log in, or share your details to “claim” SARA is not from us. SARA aid is distributed directly by the government through official channels and does not require users to click links or log in to third-party platforms.

Here’s how the scam usually works:

You receive a message saying RM100 or RM300 will be credited to your TNG eWallet
You’re asked to click a link to “confirm eligibility” or “log in”
The link leads to a fake page that attempts to steal your personal details, including one-time PINs (OTPs)

Stay alert: Do not click suspicious links. Never share your TNG eWallet login details, banking information, or OTP.

TNG eWallet continues to focus on making payments easier, safer, and more reliable for everyone. Whether it’s tapping your phone to pay or staying alert against scams, small actions help protect your daily transactions.
