Google has announced that ShopeePay and TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner) are integrated with Google Pay in Malaysia, a first eWallet integration in Southeast Asia. Now, Android users in Malaysia can easily pay with their favorite eWallets while shopping on mobile websites through Google Chrome, starting with certain online merchants.
The internet giant is promising to expand to support more partners in the future.
With 88% of Malaysians using eWallets in 2024, this Google Pay integration makes online payments easier and safer. By adding the popular eWallets that Malaysians use every day, Google Pay provides more options beyond card payments and supports cashless payments for the underbanked, creating a more inclusive digital payment system.
Farhan S. Qureshi, Country Director, Google Malaysia said, “We are excited to bring this new Google Pay feature first to Malaysia, a market with a thriving digital payment landscape and a strong appetite for eWallet adoption. By integrating with trusted local platforms like ShopeePay and TNG eWallet, we are localising Google Pay to match their everyday payment preferences, and delivering a frictionless and secure manner when shopping on their favourite mobile sites on Google Chrome. As the first market in the region to offer this integration, Malaysia also has the potential to set a new standard for digital payment innovation across Southeast Asia.”
Bringing more convenience to Malaysians
This integration of Google Pay with popular local eWallets provides Malaysians a smoother way to handle daily online transactions like shopping, food delivery, and bill payments.
How it works:
- Checkout: When shopping at participating online merchants, users can select the Google Pay button at checkout or select “eWallet” when prompted in Chrome to pay directly with ShopeePay or TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner), all without switching apps.
- In-checkout convenience: Users can now top up their preferred eWallet directly through Google Pay. Soon, they will also be able to view their balance there.
- One-time verification for first payments with eWallet: Users making first-time payments with their preferred eWallet on Google Pay will be prompted for a one-time verification for enhanced security. Once completed, they will be able to make one-click payments through Google Pay subsequently, without the need for switching apps.
- Secure transactions: All payments made with Google Pay are secure, with each transaction requiring a fingerprint or PIN verification.
Users can start paying with merchants from Fiuu, such as Nando’s and US Pizza, and from iPay88, such as Alpro Pharmacy, TK Bakery and Yoyo Bus.
