Touch 'n Go eWallet now accepted on TaoBao And Tmall
This new payment option comes via TNG Digital Sdn Bhd’s collaboration with Revenue Group Bhd, which also acts a Malaysian buying agent via www.buymall.com.my for locals to get items from Taobao.com and Tmall.com – a very useful option as it’s also available in English while the latter retail sites are only in Chinese.
Taobao and Tmall lay claim to being the world’s largest e-commerce marketplaces with a monthly active mobile users of 755 million in June 2019.
Revenue, which provides a host of payment solutions, is known for its revPAY platform which facilitates payment acceptance for Taobao and Tmall customers in Malaysia – including at its Buymall site.
Revenue managing director and group chief executive officer Eddie Ng Chee Siong said the strategic collaboration with TNG Digital is in support of the government’s aspiration to accelerate the creation of a robust and secure digital payments ecosystem.
“Today, shopping online makes up a big part of the lives of Malaysians. We at Touch ‘n Go eWallet want to continue being the enabler for a truly cashless society and what better way then, than to be available as a payment channel on the world’s largest e-commerce marketplaces, Taobao and Tmall,” said TNG Digital CEO Ignatius Ong.
The Touch ‘n Go eWallet offers a range of lifestyle offerings – from purchasing movie tickets, retail shopping to F&B and entertainment. Additionally, the Touch ‘n Go eWallet is also championing mobility through the introduction of PayDirect and RFID system for toll payments.
To-date, the Touch ‘n Go eWallet has over five million registered users and more than 80,000 merchant acceptance points.
The Touch ‘n Go app is available for download for Android and iOS.
