As of 14 March 2025, users will need to approve transactions directly through their TNG eWallet app. The SMS-based one-time password feature will not be available anymore to users. This is because TNG Digital has introduced TapSecure as a security enhancement for TNG eWallet Visa Card transactions.
TapSecure is intended to reduce reliance on SMS OTPs and minimise risks associated with phishing and unauthorised access. Transactions can be approved with a single tap. By integrating this feature within the eWallet app, users can manage approvals without needing additional verification methods.

To use TapSecure, users must initiate a transaction with their TNG eWallet Visa Card. A prompt will then appear in the TNG eWallet app, allowing them to approve the payment. To ensure uninterrupted access to this feature, users should enable notifications on their devices. Those who have opted out of notifications will need to reactivate them in their phone settings.
