The government will be giving out a one off RM30 for individuals that are above 18 with annual salary less than RM100K.
The 3 wallet providers that can receive this incensive are BoostPay, TouchNGo and Grab wallet. The government is doing is to encourage people to use electronic wallets and reduce cash transactions. It is not often the government is giving out incentives to such a wide selection of the population so do take this opportunity to sign up.
To be frank, the amount is not big but the use of ewallets is a life changer for me, it is fast and hassle free, I no longer need to carry a wallet. Nowadays I just carry a card holder containing all my credit cards, debit cards and loyalty cards with RM100 note inside for emergency purposes.
Update : somehow the whole process of claiming e-Tunai didn't go as smoothly as expected, too many people trying to claim and the system got stuck there.
The 2 wallet providers are aggressively providing incentives to sign up to eTunai at the moment. BoostPay and TouchNGo wallets are organizing lucky draw campaigns during this sign up. There doesn't seem to be any incentives from GrabPay but I guess this is quite normal as GrabPay has got a strong monopoly on ride share and food delivery and thus they don't really need to push people so sign up.
If for some odd reasons you guys are not signed up yet please do using my invite code and referral code for BoostPay is onglrwv while my TouchNGo wallet invite code is abmuke. I've seen Malaysia changed a lot in recent years with regard to ewallets, tech savvy people are using it and I'm also one of them.
I no longer carry my wallet anymore, now I just carry a card wallet to fit in these 3 cards.
- Credit card 1x
- Bank debit card 1x
- National Identity Card IC
- Driving license 1x
- RM50 notes for emergency 3x
