KUALA LUMPUR: Touch ‘n Go (TNG) has launched the upgraded Touch ‘n Go Card providing users the ability to perform card reloads anytime, anywhere from their Touch ‘n Go eWallet app.

       Users of this card and service will also experience no surcharge when reloads are performed, TNG said in a statement.

       It said the upgraded Touch ‘n Go card comes with higher encryption levels to promote better security. In addition, each card is also fully registered by virtue of it being tagged to a Touch ‘n Go eWallet account when mobile reloads are performed.

       “With this enhanced card offering, our users can now choose to obtain a card that they can reload anytime or anywhere from their Touch ‘n Go eWallet app on their mobile phones. There will also be no reload surcharges levied for the use of this service,” Touch ‘n Go Group CEO Effendy Shahul Hamid said.

       The upgraded card is available for purchase at RM10 and is available for purchase on the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app as well as at selected retail locations nationwide.

       “We expect demand for these upgraded cards to be very high. However, given the global chip shortage, we expect demand to exceed supply. So, I’d like to urge patience amongst our users as we try to get these cards to you as soon as possible,” Effendy said.

       Should stocks for these cards run out on the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app or retail channels, users are advised to register their interest on the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app, and they will be notified when these cards become available for purchase.
