Let’s Talk About Digital Trust: Are eWallets Doing Enough To Keep Your Money Safe?

This post is brought to you by TNG Digital.

With billions of ringgit lost to scam syndicates in Malaysia each year, digital security is no longer just a backend technical topic, but a critical daily priority for every smartphone owner. As eWallet ecosystems expand beyond simple toll and retail payments into full financial hubs, keeping your money safe requires understanding how modern threats work and how security systems adapt to protect you.

In this episode of Let’s Talk About, Alex and Amin sit down with TNG Digital Chief Risk Officer Foo Yeong Jin to unpack the realities of digital trust. They explore why most people confuse scams with fraud, how features like compulsory eKYC and 48-hour cooldown periods work behind the scenes, and why protecting your account is ultimately a shared responsibility between you and the platform.
