TNG Digital has announced that TNG eWallet has been recognized by Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Sarawak (JTK Sarawak) as an alternative salary payment method, completing the platform’s labor authority recognition across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.
TNG eWallet Achieves Nationwide Recognition As Wage Payment Method
With this recognition, employers across Malaysia can use TNG eWallet as a digital channel to disburse wages, providing workers, particularly those who are unbanked or face barriers to traditional banking, with access to their earnings.
Alan Ni, Chief Executive Officer of TNG Digital, said: “JTK Sarawak’s recognition marks an important milestone in expanding this access nationwide. It gives confidence to any employer in Malaysia that this is a safe, government recognized digital wage disbursement, while giving workers an established and practical way to receive and manage their earnings.”
TNG Digital was first recognized by Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) in 2024 as an alternative wage payment method for unbanked workers, including blue-collar migrant workers, through a DuitNow account. This was followed by recognition from Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Sabah (JTK Sabah) in December 2025. The recognition from JTK Sarawak completes TNG eWallet’s coverage across Malaysia.
Each verified TNG eWallet user is assigned a DuitNow account number, allowing employers to disburse wages directly from any bank in Malaysia into workers’ TNG eWallet accounts.
TNG Digital stated that completing nationwide coverage strengthens its ability to support employers while extending digital financial access to workers who may otherwise rely on cash or face barriers to traditional banking. Beyond wage disbursement, workers can use TNG eWallet for everyday payments, transfers, cash withdrawals, and remittances within the same platform.
Pokdepinion: Getting migrant and unbanked workers paid directly into an eWallet instead of cash in hand helps with ensuring money gets into their hands without the risks associated with it.
