TNG Digital, the operator of TNG eWallet, and the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) have partnered to provide Malaysian travelers with a seamless and convenient payment solution in Korea.
This partnership makes TNG eWallet the first Malaysian e-wallet endorsed by KTO, granting users access to 1.9 million ZeroPay merchants across major cities and tourist hotspots and over 3 million Visa merchants across the country.
Through its partnership with Alipay+, Malaysian travelers using TNG eWallet can make cashless payments at these ZeroPay merchants by simply scanning QR codes.
TNG eWallet eliminates the need for currency exchange and allows for easy payments at convenience stores like CU Mart, beauty retailers such as Olive Young, as well as restaurants and shopping centers.
Travelers can also utilise the TNG eWallet Visa card to expand their payment options to over 3 million Visa merchants across Korea, with 0% foreign transaction fees.
Additionally, TNG eWallet offers a dedicated South Korea homepage with real-time currency conversion rates, promotions, travel tips, and local discounts.
KTO plays an active role in providing up-to-date travel information and resources, ensuring Malaysian travelers can make the most of their visit.
Over 201,769 Malaysians visited Korea between January and September 2024, marking a 23.8% increase from the previous year.
