TNG Digital Partners with KK Mart to Enable Digital Salary Payments for Migrant Workers in Malaysia

TNG Digital has partnered with KK Mart to introduce digital salary payments via TNG eWallet for migrant workers across Malaysia.

This integration allows employers to disburse wages directly into workers' eWallet accounts, bypassing traditional banking hurdles.

Empowering Unbanked Migrant Workers

Migrant workers, often underserved by conventional banks, can now instantly access, spend, and transfer their salaries securely through the app.

The service supports over 160,000 migrant workers nationwide, with cumulative disbursements reaching RM4.8 billion in 2025 alone.

Streamlining Payroll for Retail Giants

KK Mart, one of Malaysia's leading retail chains, becomes the first major player to adopt eWallet salary payments at scale, enhancing operational efficiency.

Approved by Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia since August 2024, TNG eWallet reduces cash-handling risks and administrative burdens for employers.

HR teams at KK Mart underwent specialized training, ensuring smooth onboarding and compliance with labor regulations.

Leadership Insights on Financial Inclusion

Alan Ni, CEO of TNG Digital, emphasized solving real challenges for unbanked communities by providing financial control and security.

Dr. Chai Kee Kan, Founder of KK Mart, highlighted commitment to employee welfare through reliable, timely digital payments.

This partnership marks a pivotal step toward a more inclusive digital economy, fostering workforce resilience and equitable access.

Looking ahead, such innovations promise to bridge the financial inclusion gap as Malaysia accelerates its digital transformation.
