Malaysia e-wallet

[German_flyer]

E-wallets like touch`n go, grab and others do not accept foreign credit cards to recharge it..
But seems like recharging is possible at some convenience stores.
Do such stores accept foreign cards to recharche, and is it possible to recredit a remaining balance ?

Anyone experience with that ?

Touch-and-go physical cards are reloadable using cash at most convenience stores.
TNG ewallet is a Malaysian-only service, similar to Grab Wallet.

Ewallets are mostly useless on day to day basis anyway.
Stick with cash or an intl cc.

I do not need a physical TNG anyway.
TNG wallet might be helpful for ne, as myself usally eat cheap eateries/street food where cc not accepted.

The e-wallets in Malaysia targets locals only.
As foreign travellers, stick with cash and credit cards for getting around.
There's Touch N Go cards mainly used for public transport, tolls, parking.
They have recently setup online eRefunds for unused card that you can check out.

FYI - Grab happily took my Ausie credit card whilst in KL.

My german card was not accepted for e-wallet but for ride.
Seems like i have to continue with cash and card.

Intl CC for rides/food etc is fine.
Grab Ewallet (required if you want rewards) is malaysian card/bank account only.
