e-Tunai Rakyat has a total allocation of RM450 million from the Government and is expected to benefit 15 million Malaysians above the age of 18 earning an annual income of less than RM100,000.
To further encourage Malaysians to adopt the cashless lifestyle, homegrown and leading lifestyle e-wallet Boost will be rolling out exciting offers for users to enjoy with the RM30 digital stimulus as well as more ways to get even bigger value on top of that. To promote digital inclusivity, the homegrown e-wallet is even giving rewards for those who did not qualify for e-Tunai Rakyat.
