Here's how to buy or renew your My50 travel pass via the TNG eWallet app
Those who purchase the My50 travel pass via the TNG eWallet will need to link it to an enhanced NFC-capable TNG card for use. — CHRISTOPHER FAM/The Star Malaysians are now finally able to purchase their My50 travel pass from the comfort of their own home using the Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet app. The ability to do so was introduced on July 1, with Transport Minister Anthony Loke stating that the digitalisation effort would reduce the time commuters spend waiting in line at physical Rapid KL counters. For those unaware, the My50 pass is a 30-day pass costing RM50 that grants Malaysian commuters unlimited rides on Rapid KL transport services, including the LRT, MRT, BRT, Monorail, and Rapid Bus. Those who purchase the My50 travel pass via the TNG eWallet will need to link it to an enhanced NFC-capable TNG card for use, while those who prefer using their MyKad can continue to renew the pass at counters as usual. Do note that users will need to perform the electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) verification in the app before being able to get their travel pass. More information on getting that done is available on the TNG eWallet website. How to get your pass Once users are logged in and have completed the eKYC process, they can start by navigating to the "Travel Pass" mini program. Just scroll down on the app's home page and tap on the "More" button. From there, they will be brought to the "All Services" menu, where they can tap on the "Travel Pass" option at the top of the screen. The page will then display the details on My50, along with the ability to link an Enhanced TNG card to the travel pass. Once users are logged in and have completed the eKYC process, they can start by navigating to the 'Travel Pass' mini program. — Screenshots from TNG eWallet app Users looking to purchase the pass can tap on the "Add card" button, which shows up as a plus symbol, and select an Enhanced TNG card that is already linked to the e-wallet account. For those who have not yet added a card, this can be done by selecting the "Add a card" option at the bottom of the page and following the on-screen instructions. Once a card is chosen, users will then be prompted to scan the card by holding it to the back of the device for five seconds. Users can pick from the Enhanced TNG cards they have already added, or link a new one to their TNG eWallet account. After that, they will need to select the activation date for the pass, which means they are not forced to use it immediately and can instead plan based on their intended travel schedule. Finally, the page will then allow users to tap on the "Confirm" button to proceed with payment, prompting them to scan the chosen card again by holding it to the back of the device to complete the transaction and activate the pass. Users who complete the transaction will then be able to check their active My50 pass in the TNG eWallet's "Travel Pass" mini program. Once paid, users can check their My50 pass status in the 'Travel Pass' mini program. It is worth noting that the TNG NFC charms are also compatible with the My50 pass, so commuters who prefer using the charm instead of a physical card have the option to do so.

TNG eWallet empowers small traders with digital tools
KUALA LUMPUR: TNG Digital Sdn Bhd is broadening its support for micro and small enterprises, particularly independent traders operating at markets, food stalls and public spaces, by offering accessible and easy-to-use digital payment tools. The company, through TNG eWallet, provides static QR codes and a Merchant Dashboard system, both free of charge, enabling traders to accept cashless payments and monitor real-time transactions. TNG eWallet is integrated with DuitNow QR through a partnership with Payments Network Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PayNet), allowing merchants to receive payments from any local bank or eWallet nationwide. In a statement today, TNG Digital chief operating officer Mohd Herman Sarbini said the company aims to support various types of businesses, from home bakers to startup founders. 'Our solutions are designed to help small merchants grow by giving them tools to manage transactions, track performance and understand customer behaviour,' he said. TNG Digital said that to enhance security, it also introduced the Merchant Soundbox, a device that provides real-time audio confirmation for each successful transaction and helps prevent scams involving fake payment screens. 'Linked directly to the merchant's account, it gives users greater confidence during busy operating hours,' it said. The Soundbox is offered at promotional prices to ensure affordability for small traders, especially those operating alone during peak hours. Besides that, for merchants unfamiliar with digital tools, the company provides face-to-face onboarding sessions, live demonstrations and simple user interfaces. 'Outreach efforts are conducted regularly in collaboration with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) through the Retail Digitalisation Initiative and with support from PayNet and state governments,' the company said. TNG Digital further said that during the Ramadan bazaar season, it collaborated with local authorities to help rural entrepreneurs transition to cashless environments. 'TNG Digital is also approved by Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM), an agency under the Ministry of Human Resources, to provide alternative salary payment services to unbanked workers. 'This approval benefits blue-collar and migrant workers, many of whom are employed by micro small and medium enterprises (SMEs),' it said. Mohd Herman said the approval allows employers to pay salaries directly into TNG eWallet accounts, noting that nearly 70 per cent of the company's merchants are classified as micro SMEs. 'It removes the risks associated with handling cash and ensures workers have secure and immediate access to their earnings,' he said. TNG Digital said that each TNG eWallet account is issued with a DuitNow account number that functions like a traditional bank account, enabling users to send and receive funds from any Malaysian bank and helping to bridge the gap between the unbanked and the formal financial ecosystem. The company highlighted these initiatives at Expo 2025 Osaka, where it presented tools such as the Merchant Dashboard, Soundbox, and cashback features designed to support small businesses in managing transactions and engaging customers.
