Touch ‘n Go Group has launched GOinvest, its proprietary digital investment platform, which can be accessed through Touch ‘n Go eWallet.
GOinvest’s first product offering is the Principal Islamic Money Market Fund which is developed and managed by Principal Asset Management Berhad.
Touch ‘n Go eWallet users, aged 18 years and above, can start investing as little as RM10 in the Shariah-compliant fund.
There is no lock-in period or cap on the investment balance as compared to other conventional deposit products.
Users may also choose to set their personal financial goals as this would help them to focus on and achieve their investment goals.
Eventually GOinvest will enable all Touch ‘n Go eWallet users to access and choose from a range of thoroughly curated investment products, earning returns and accumulating savings in the process.
The group said that it will be rolling out more investment products on GOinvest in the coming months.
Touch ‘n Go Group has been progressively offering financial products and services, such as investments, insurance, lending, and payments solutions.
In 2021, the group launched its first of its kind eWallet feature, GO+ which allows users to earn daily returns from Principal e-Cash, a Shariah-compliant money market fund and at the same time support day to day payments. GO+ has garnered close to 2.5 million users to date.
