Touch ‘n Go Sdn Bhd (Touch ‘n Go) has set an ambitious target of attracting four million users to their Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system by the close of 2024.

According to Bernama, CEO Praba Sangarajoo emphasised the remarkable growth in RFID adoption, attributing it to the seamless convenience it offers. Presently boasting about three million RFID users, the company is eyeing an additional one million by the end of the next year, aligning with its commitment to providing a smoother toll payment experience.

Sangarajoo underscored the multifaceted advantages of RFID technology, not only streamlining toll payments but also enabling contactless fuel transactions. In a recent development, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow inaugurated Touch ‘n Go’s “Walao Eh Just In Penang” campaign, aimed at promoting cashless transactions and a seamless payment experience covering tolls, transit, and parking within Penang.

The campaign’s objective is to introduce the convenience of seamless mobility solutions to Penangites through Touch ‘n Go’s RFID and an enhanced Touch ‘n Go card.

In line with Penang’s vision of establishing a robust digital infrastructure by 2030, the campaign will see specially equipped mobile vans stationed strategically, offering special campaign deals on RFID tags to Penangites. They can also purchase exclusive Touch ‘n Go bundle sets, comprising an RFID tag and an enhanced Touch ‘n Go card.

Chief Minister Chow stressed the significance of adopting e-payment services such as Touch ‘n Go RFID, lauding its convenience, efficiency, and security. He expressed confidence in achieving Penang’s ambitious goal of being 100% cashless by 2030, with Touch ‘n Go’s collaboration.

Touch ‘n Go Group has launched ParkInsure, a unique insurance/takaful product for users who utilise the Touch ‘n Go card for parking. For just RM5 per month, users can access this coverage seamlessly through the GOprotect digital hub on the Touch ‘n Go eWallet platform.

They can choose between takaful from Zurich General Takaful Malaysia Berhad or conventional insurance from Allianz Malaysia Berhad. This offering provides affordable coverage for personal accidents, enhancing the convenience and security of Touch ‘n Go transactions.

ParkInsure comes with several helpful benefits:

  1. Accidental Death or Disablement Coverage: If an accident happens within the car park compound leading to permanent disablement or accidental death, users can get reimbursed up to RM70,000.
  2. Snatch Theft Inconvenience Benefit: In case of snatch theft within the car park area, users can receive up to RM1,500 to cover inconveniences.
  3. Forcible Car Break-Ins: If a car break-in occurs in the car park, users are eligible for reimbursement up to RM1,500.
  4. Key Reimbursement: If a user’s car key is stolen or damaged during coverage, a reimbursement fee of up to RM200 is provided.

These benefits provide protection and support for various situations that might happen in the car park, making ParkInsure a helpful addition for Touch ‘n Go card users.

In the conventional plan, users get extra benefits like up to RM200 for transportation charges to the hospital due to a car park accident and RM10 if their enhanced Touch ‘n Go card is lost to snatch theft in the car park.

For the takaful plan, users receive a different benefit. They can get up to RM200 for inconveniences if their car is damaged in a car park accident. These additional benefits are meant to provide more support and convenience for users in different situations while using their Touch ‘n Go cards for parking.

Touch ‘n Go eWallet users can subscribe to the ParkInsure insurance/takaful plan in under 3 minutes using GOprotect. They have the choice between takaful and conventional plans. The process ensures hassle-free claims through the insurers’ 24/7 claim hotline. Additionally, users can conveniently manage and access their policies/certificates through the “My Policies” tab on their eWallet app, streamlining their experience.

Users of the Touch ‘n Go eWallet can now conveniently pay for on-street parking in more locations that fall under the 19 enabled councils, with total coverage for the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor regions. The Majlis Perbandaran Klang, Majlis Bandaraya Seremban – Nilai, and Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya are the three newly enabled councils.

For on-street parking in both Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Touch ‘n Go eWallet is the first eWallet in Malaysia to provide comprehensive coverage. By doing this, TNG is dealing with consumer complaints, notably those related to the removal of parking machines.

Public transportation users can now breathe a sigh of relief as the implementation of debit and credit cards are now in the works.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said this system is expected to be active in the next few months. He also mentioned that he has ordered all their agencies to adopt this open payment system.

LRT users now only have two options which is Touch ‘n Go or buying a token from the vending machine which if you ask me, is kind of outdated. For Touch ‘n Go to be around since 1997, with no major updates, it’s time the public get other payment options as the financial world is moving forward.

Everything now is being modernised and this debit card/credit card system is something that will make things easier for the public as they do not have to worry about topping up their Touch ‘n Go or waiting in line to buy a token.

For those hesitant to change, there’s good news as the credit and debit card system will complement the existing Touch ‘n Go system rather than have it replace the older system entirely.
