ShopeePay has launched Tap Secure, a new security feature that requires users to personally approve each transaction before it is completed.
The feature, available starting 28 April 2025, aims to provide an extra layer of protection for ShopeePay users.
Once activated, Tap Secure sends real-time notifications whenever a transaction is attempted, allowing users to either approve or reject it.
To enable the feature, users must link their ShopeePay account to their current device and complete a personal verification process under the “Me” page.
Push notifications must also be turned on to receive transaction alerts.
Tap Secure is available exclusively on the standalone ShopeePay app, which was launched in March 2025 to offer a dedicated digital payments experience.
The feature is not supported within the main Shopee app.
The ShopeePay app also supports DuitNow QR transfers, including Transfer by ID Type, QR payments with ShopeePay and SPayLater, and an e-voucher wallet.
Future updates are expected to introduce cross-border transfers, savings features, transportation ticket purchases, and reward programmes.
ShopeePay offers 0% fees on top-ups made via credit cards and bank transfers.
It is a regulated e-money provider under Bank Negara Malaysia.
The app is available for download on the App Store or Google Play.
