Touch ‘n Go has added a new TNG Card feature to its eWallet app, which allows users to pay toll fares using the funds in their eWallet. This is not to be confused with the RFID system that also uses the app, as you still pay using a physical Touch ‘n Go card.
Instead, the system lets you link your cards – up to three in total – to your eWallet account. From then on, whenever you use a card at a toll booth (either by tapping it on a reader or by using a SmartTAG), the toll charge will automatically be deducted from your eWallet, bypassing the balance in the physical card. The fare will only be deducted from the card if your eWallet has insufficient funds.
Touch ‘n Go says that with the implementation of the TNG Card feature, users will no longer need to queue up at reload lanes at toll plazas. They will also save a bit of money along the way as they will no longer have to pay a 50 sen reload surcharge – top-ups for the eWallet, which are made through your phone via credit or debit card, online banking or TNG Reload PINs come with no additional fees.
For now, the pilot programme is only being conducted on the DUKE Highway, at the Ayer Panas, Sentul Pasar, Segambut and Sentul Pasar Tambahan tolls. However, the company plans to roll out the service on all highways in the Klang Valley and, subsequently, nationwide. It also wants to make the system available in more places such as public transportation networks and carparks.

Syabas TnG! Meanwhile my old folks up north still using cash to pay tol… btw they coming tmr
Good job TnG. Well done. But most importantly, try to help the tens of thousands of traditional touch and go card owners who get their cards blacklisted for no apparent reason.
Then, cannot sort the issue at tolls booth touch and go counters. Must go to KL Sentral and pay parking fee RM5 per hour.
So many people don’t bother. They just throw away the cards with credit inside because it is a hassle to go KL Sentral Touch and GO HQ to sort the matter our. Queue there is so long that waiting 2 to 3 hours is very normal. So, parking alone cost more than the creidt inside your card.
TnG makes hundreds of million of ringgit free money this way.
Why our cards suddenly blacklisted? Like ajaib magic
which parking fee 5MYR? didn’t actually went to nu sentral before?
Bro. Mamat ni manada pakai TnG. Dalam gua manada perlu pakai TnG?
Lazy company always not wanting to innovate themselves. Look at Singapore, they made the Gantry system so advanced 20 years ago.
Now only TNG kena bamboo from the PH gomen to work hard. Otherwise last year and before that, all tidurzzzzzzzzz
Wow!!! So advance!!!
Amaaaaazing…
Well, took them damn long enough to figure out to link TnG cards to eWallet.
And now we’ll have to wait again for the rollout on PLUS highway…
Better to outsource this TNG to some China company, I think they can do a better job. Just like how Li Chunrong has made Proton better, this China company also will make TNG better
This is typical Putrajaya mentality. have you sent in any application to Putrajaya for anything? They will take months or years before they get back to you
Go to their offices and you will see what they do. Half the time eating keropok, listening to music and laughing non stop
Really hoping they would enable DBKL parking payment because I am really tired of tapping on the parking machine every day
Use JomParking – An app that ease your parking payment for DBKL. You may download the apps in Google Play and Apple App Store.
So….that means you will have separate funds in your eWallet and TouchNGo card???
Which I think is good. The ewallet will be the active balance and the card balance will be sort of a buffer.
1st, i dont understand why they want to separate the fund?
2nd, they had decided to separate fund for whatever reason and I do hope the fund can be transferable between the wallet and the TnG card. I do not want ill be keep using the wallet to ease my reloading and i still have RM100 in the card unutilized.
for now yes… bcoz not all toll point are fitted with system yet… so fund in your card still needed… once they roll out the system to all toll point next year, maybe no more fund needed in ur card.. be patient lol..
i downloaded the app but after i read all the comments, i stopped.

Dun know but what I know jepunis hybrid EV tipu punya, high maintenance and low RV
Why does all these system has to be complicated? Why can’t it be just same account, and both card and e-wallet account are sync-ed?
Pls STOP this monopoly …stupid ideas and half baked implementation example is the reload machinee at BHP if suddenly offline while u reload, the money stuck and u have to call wataapss a hp no give yur name account no and NRIC AND WAIT FEW DAYS for the refund
Do they accept American Express?
Personally I think is an improvement which is good to touch and go user on smart tag. However what is the point of having rfid if this works? The only difference is you no need a device with rfid. Then is rfid an upgrade or another way of paying toll….so how many type of toll gate you want to build? Make up your mind with route you want to take.
Rfid can detect the sticker wayy further than smartag
This is almost like RFID already.. Good in cases where RFID isnt detecting and the fallback is to TouchnGo/smartTag. Looking forward to seeing it being implemented in more toll
Why does it have to be a notches phone on the picture? Habisla touch n go!
Most of the time we cannot remember the balance in our Touch & Go card. Can we check the balance in our Touch & Go card from the ewallet? If we cannot check our balance, the ewallet is useless.
Yes you can, but it’s not in real time. I don’t know how frequent they update the card balance bit it seems that it did update the card daily
Why only rolling out to certain toll? Why not nationwide? And why is this caveat not stated in the App. What a waste of time. Go big or go home. Test is extensively before rolling it out nationwide. I’m not going to use this until all toll accept this.
The management surely stupid, but did they hired a stupid system developer too?…it’s not that hard to code so the balance in card can be deducted..
