Whether it's buying F&B, petrol, movies, flights, utilities, or groceries, Touch 'n Go eWallet makes life so much easier. You can even pay for mobile reloads, in-app purchases like street parking, and toll payment via unique features such as PayDirect and RFID.

What's more, Touch 'n Go eWallet is offering additional benefits when you verify your account. Here's why you should do it right now:

1. You'll get to claim RM30 in January 2020

If you're a Malaysian above 18 years old and earn less than RM100,000 annually, you'll be entitled to receive RM30 through the Touch n' Go eWallet.

This is thanks to the government's e-Tunai Rakyat programme, an initiative announced by the Ministry of Finance under Budget 2020. The campaign will kickstart on 15 January 2020 and run until 14 March 2020, so make sure you verify your account before that!

2. Protect yourself with a money-back guarantee

Using artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well as human intervention, the Touch 'n Go eWallet app tracks and analyses data to prevent unauthorised transactions. However, in the highly unlikely event that an unauthorised transaction does occur, the money-back guarantee promises full compensation within five days!

No need to worry about lost money. :)

3. You can transfer money without any additional charges
