What Is A TNG Digital Business Account?
TNG Digital Business Account is a business eWallet account for TNG eWallet merchants that lets you receive payments, manage business funds, and make transfers through the TNG eWallet app.
The account is issued by TNG Digital Sdn Bhd, an approved e-money issuer regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia. It is available to Individual Traders and Registered Merchants who meet TNG Digital's registration and verification requirements.
The Business Account comes with real-time settlement, DuitNow transfers, transaction tracking and higher wallet limits, with no fee on QR payments received. It's designed for business use rather than as a replacement for a conventional business bank account.
Account Limits And Fees
Your Business Account limit depends on whether you are an Individual Trader or a Registered Merchant.
| Business Type | Wallet Size | Monthly Transaction Limit | Annual Transaction Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual Trader | Up to RM60,000 | Up to RM75,000 | Up to RM720,000 |
| SSM-Registered Business | Up to RM500,000 | Up to RM625,000 | Up to RM6,000,000 |
The wallet size is the maximum balance you can hold, while the monthly and annual amounts are transaction limits. Each payment or transfer is also capped at RM9,999.99 per transaction, regardless of your overall wallet limit. This single-transaction limit can't be adjusted.
The Business Account has no registration, monthly or annual fees, and no minimum balance. TNG Digital doesn't charge a transaction fee on payments received via QR, and DuitNow transfers and real-time settlement are free.
If you reach your monthly or annual transaction limit, eligible new settlements are automatically transferred to your registered bank account on a T+1 basis. Business Account settlement resumes when the new month or year begins.
Who Can Apply
The Business Account is available to Individual Traders and Registered Merchants that are registered on TNG eWallet.
An Individual Trader is a person operating a business without an SSM-registered business entity. A Registered Merchant refers to an SSM-registered business that meets TNG Digital's requirements. Sole proprietorships, partnerships and private limited companies are eligible, as long as the company has no corporate shareholder.
You need an existing TNG eWallet account and must complete the required verification and merchant registration process before using the Business Account.
How To Activate Your Business Account
Existing TNG eWallet merchants can activate the Business Account directly through the app.
Go to My Business → Dashboard → Set up for FREE and follow the activation instructions. You will need to agree to the Business Account Terms and Conditions, complete or confirm your business details, and set a separate six-digit PIN.
New TNG eWallet merchants who joined on or after 18 June 2025 have their Business Account automatically activated.
Requirements For Different Business Types
The information required depends on how your business is registered.
You generally need:
- A TNG eWallet account
- A completed TNG eWallet verification process
- TNG eWallet merchant registration
- Your relevant business details
- SSM registration details if you are a Registered Merchant
Businesses with multiple owners may also need to complete an electronic Letter of Authorisation (eLOA).
Each owner holding 25% or more must sign the eLOA. If every owner holds less than 25%, all owners must sign it. The eLOA is valid for seven days (168 hours) after it's issued.
How To Use The Business Account
The Business Account lets you receive merchant payments, manage business funds, and transfer money through DuitNow.
When the Business Account is set as the primary settlement account, eligible sales proceeds can be settled into it in real time. This allows businesses to access eligible proceeds without waiting for the usual settlement cycle.
You can also transfer funds to Malaysian bank accounts and other eligible DuitNow participants, subject to the applicable transaction limits.
The Merchant Dashboard lets you monitor sales transactions and income. You can also download statements covering up to 90 days.
The Business Account operates in RM and doesn't offer foreign currency exchange or conversion. You can still receive payments from international customers. TNG eWallet is open to Malaysian residents who meet TNG Digital's criteria, and international visitors from selected countries can register for a TNG eWallet account without a Malaysian bank account. They pay by scanning your QR code, and the payment reaches you in RM.
Adding Money To The Business Account
You cannot add money to the Business Account using a credit card, debit card, or TNG eWallet reload PIN.
DuitNow Transfer can be used to add funds to the Business Account instead.
This is separate from receiving merchant sales proceeds, which can be settled into the Business Account when it is set as the primary settlement account.
TNG Digital Business Account Isn't A Business Bank Account
The TNG Digital Business Account is a business eWallet account, not a conventional business bank account.
It is designed around merchant payments, business fund management, and transfers through TNG eWallet. Businesses that need broader banking services may therefore still need a separate business bank account.
The RM500,000 wallet limit for a Registered Merchant also does not mean you can transfer RM500,000 in one transaction. Each payment or transfer is capped at RM9,999.99.
For example, if your business has RM500,000 in its Business Account, you cannot transfer the full amount to a bank account in one transaction. A transfer would have to comply with the RM9,999.99 single-transaction limit as well as the applicable daily, monthly, and annual limits.
Business Account Security
The Business Account includes several security features to protect account access and business funds.
These include a separate six-digit PIN, TapSecure, Face Verification, and a Kill Switch that can be used if you suspect suspicious activity. The account also has fraud protection measures.
Businesses should keep their login credentials and PIN confidential and monitor transactions regularly. If a device is lost or stolen or you suspect unauthorised access, use the available security controls promptly.
Managing Access For Your Team
Businesses with more than one owner can register a multi-owner account. Administrators can appoint team members as a Viewer, Maker, Checker, or Maker & Checker. A Maker submits requests, a Checker approves or rejects them, and a Viewer can only see account information. Under Dual Control, a request must be approved by someone other than the person who submitted it. Under Single Control, the same person can submit and approve it.
Sole proprietors and private limited companies with a single shareholder can appoint Viewers only. Up to 20 team members can have view-only access.
