Touch ‘n Go eWallet has updated its Money Packet feature just in time for the upcoming Hari Raya holidays. Introduced early this year, the Money Packet feature was an interesting way to distribute Ang Pows as receivers can get randomised amounts from a fixed pool. Following some feedback during the last holiday season, TNG eWallet has finally added a new “Equal” amounts option.
To send a Money Packet, just launch the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app and then tap on “Transfer” on the home page. Then, tap on “Money Packet” tab at the top and then tap on Create Money Packet.
From here, you can choose Random or Equal. The Random option will let you set the total pool amount and the number of recipients, and the system will automatically randomise the Money Packet distribution. This means someone might receive a very large amount while the unlucky few might get a very small amount.
To ensure that everyone gets a fair share, the new Equal option will distribute the Money Packets in equal amounts. Just enter the number of receivers, each packet amount and a personalised message. After creating the packet, you can send a link that’s sharable through instant messaging apps or show a QR code for your visitors to scan. Recipients must have an updated TNG eWallet app to receive the money.
Take note that each Money Packet is valid for only 24 hours and you have the ability to cancel it at any time. Any unclaimed or remaining fund balance will be refunded automatically to your main TNG eWallet account. Take note that each Money Packet has a maximum limit of RM1,000 and can be distributed between 2 to 100 unique users. Each TNG eWallet user can create up to 10 Money Packets at a single time.
