Touch ‘n Go Launches RM49.90 Business Card That Also Pays Tolls, Transit and Parking
Touch ‘n Go has launched a new card that does two jobs at once: it works as a digital business card you can tap on a phone, and it pays for tolls, public transport and parking like a normal Touch ‘n Go card. The Touch ‘n Go Business Card is on sale now on the company’s online shop at an introductory price of RM49.90 for individuals, with custom pricing for companies that order in bulk.
Key facts
- The card stores a digital profile (name, phone number, email, company details, photo and social links) that others can open by tapping it on an NFC-enabled smartphone or by scanning a QR code on the back.
- Once linked to the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app, it can be used for toll, public transport and parking payments, in the same way as a standard Touch ‘n Go card.
- Individuals pay RM49.90; businesses get custom pricing based on order quantity, and a “Teams” option lets organisations put their logo and design on the cards.
- According to the product disclosure sheet, the card is valid for up to seven years from issuance, and delivery takes 7 to 14 working days.
- Touch ‘n Go describes it as Malaysia’s first NFC-enabled smart card that combines contact sharing with mobility payments.
How the card works
NFC, or near-field communication, is the short-range wireless technology behind contactless payments. Here it does double duty. When someone taps the card against their phone, the phone opens the cardholder’s online profile and offers to save the contact. People whose phones do not read NFC can scan the QR code instead.
The profile is set up and edited on a separate website, tngbizcard.com, so cardholders can change their job title, phone number or links at any time without ordering a new card. That is the main selling point over printed business cards, which go out of date and are often thrown away.
The payment side is familiar. Touch ‘n Go cards are stored-value cards: you load money onto them and the balance is deducted when you pass a toll plaza, a rail gate or a car park barrier. To use the new card this way, the holder links it to the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app.
What it means for Malaysians
For consumers and professionals, the card means one less item in the wallet. Many drivers in Malaysia already carry a Touch ‘n Go card for tolls and parking, so combining it with a business card is a practical idea for salespeople, freelancers and anyone who goes to events and networks often. At RM49.90 it costs more than a basic Touch ‘n Go card, so the value depends on how often you hand out contact details.
For companies and SMEs, the Teams option is the bigger story. A firm can issue branded cards to staff, manage profiles from a business portal and switch off a card profile when someone leaves. That gives employers control over the contact details their staff share, something printed cards cannot offer.
On security, the product disclosure sheet is direct. Cardholders are responsible for keeping their password safe and for any misuse of their profile link once they share it, since Touch ‘n Go says it does not control how a shared URL is used. Users who lose the card should unlink or deactivate it quickly, or they risk losing the stored balance. Any remaining balance is refunded when the card is terminated through Touch ‘n Go’s consumer portal.
The launch also shows how Touch ‘n Go is trying to keep its physical card relevant. As more payments move into phone apps and highways shift toward barrier-free tolling, turning the card into a lifestyle and work product is one way to keep it in people’s pockets.
What to watch
- Whether corporate buyers take up the Teams option at scale, and how Touch ‘n Go prices bulk orders.
- How the card fits into barrier-free (multi-lane free flow) tolling as highways move away from toll gates.
- Whether Touch ‘n Go adds more features to the profile, such as lead tracking or links to payment requests.
