The process will be so seamless and quick that you, as a customer, need not have any interaction with a point-of-sale system or with your smartphone. The payments will be made automatically at the bay through the vehicle-attached RFID tag, receipt or payment details of the same can be viewed on the TNG eWallet app.

TNG CEO, Syahrunizam said, “950 Shell stations have become cashless with our Touch ‘n Go eWallet. Soon, Malaysians will be able to experience RFID fuelling, that allows payments to be completed at the bay without any interaction with their mobile phone or point-of-sale system”.

The TNG RFID tags can be purchased for RM35 starting 15th February. The price includes one-time replacement of the tag for the same vehicle without any time boundaries. Currently, RFID fitment centres are closed for maintenance and will open from the coming Saturday.
