To claim MYR50 ePenjana from Touch ‘n Go eWallet

Note: This is to assume that you have already downloaded the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app and have verified and upgraded account. It may take 1-2 days for the eKYC (Know Your Customer) process to verify and upgrade your TNG eWallet.

Step 1: Fire up your Touch ‘n Go eWallet app
Step 2: Click on the “Your RM50 ePenjana is here” banner
Step 3: Click on the checkbox if you agree with the Terms and Conditions, then click “Claim Now”
Step 4: Verify that your Full Name (as per your NRIC) and MyKad number are correct. Click “Yes, Submit Now.”

The identity verification will be done to identify your IC number (as per your MyKad), income eligibility, and whether you have registered on MySejahtera. It will also check if you have claimed your ePenjana from another wallet already. You can only claim from one e-wallet provider.

Once you’ve submitted your claim, it may take up to five days for verification and approval. Once approved, you will receive the one-time MYR50 credit in your Touch ‘n Go eWallet.
