TNG Digital Sdn. Bhd., the operator of Malaysia’s digital financial services and lifestyle app, TNG eWallet, and EPOS, the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) transformation platform of Ant International, have jointly announced the launch of EPOS360 in Malaysia, with a suite of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered growth tools and unique payment capabilities to support the digitalization of Malaysian businesses, particularly SMEs.

The duo said in a statement on Thursday that EPOS360 launches as a mini-program in TNG eWallet, giving Malaysian SMEs direct access to AI-powered tools, integrated payments, and marketing capabilities in one place.

Through TNG eWallet features such as Near Me vouchers, merchants can reach over 25 million users, while managing key business functions seamlessly within a single solution.

“SMEs are at the heart of Malaysia’s economy. Our role at TNG Digital is to remove barriers and make growth easier,

“By bringing EPOS360 into TNG eWallet, we are giving businesses simple, trusted tools to reach more customers, run their businesses better, and grow within an ecosystem that millions of Malaysians use every day,” said Alan Ni, Chief Executive Officer of TNG Digital.

As part of EPOS360, TNG Digital and EPOS are introducing EPOS360 BlueTap, a smart over-the-counter device that supports multiple payment methods in one terminal.

For the first time in Malaysia, via BlueTap, consumers can tap-to-pay with TNG eWallet, which also supports DuitNow QR, major eWallets, and soon, card payments.

This helps merchants through clearing audio payment confirmation at the point of sale, giving businesses immediate assurance that a transaction is successful, reducing missed payments or manual checks, particularly during peak hours; integration with TNG eWallet ecosystem, enabling access to point-of-sale features and transaction insights for a simpler and more reliable checkout experience while supporting business growth; supporting trusted acceptance across banks and major eWallets in one device, accommodating additional payment types over time without frequent hardware changes.

Malaysian SMEs can access EPOS360 solutions directly within the TNG eWallet they know and trust, tapping on its significant digital user base, and engage them using a range of AI-powered solutions, which will be progressively introduced, to support every stage of the SME journey.

This is including end-to-end digitalization (from online set up, with AI Copilot easily creating online menus based on photos or descriptions, to marketing services, to deploying across digital channels like in-app or Google Maps); reaching and engaging more customers (create customized campaigns, vouchers and marketing materials via AI, and simultaneously launch across in-app digital, offline; scale (access business insights and customer support that enables business owners to optimize their operations, customer engagement and troubleshooting).

“SMEs are the heart of our communities, and yet they face very real challenges in an increasingly competitive environment,

“Digitalization is no longer a nice to have, and we believe that by putting the right technology into the hands of SMEs, we can empower them to unlock new and exciting opportunities. We’re excited to partner with TNG Digital, Malaysia’s biggest mobile ecosystem to bring this vision to reality, and jointly accelerate the growth and transformation of local SMEs,” said Alan Wang, Chief Executive Officer of EPOS and Vice President of Ant International.

“Moving forward, Ant International, through EPOS, will significantly accelerate its strategy to drive SME digitalization in Southeast Asia and beyond,” he added.

EPOS360 is a solution that brings together AI-powered solutions, enhanced payment capabilities, financial services and more into one platform, making it easy for SMEs to transform and grow in the digital era. It has launched in Malaysia, and soon in Singapore.

This initiative is supported by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) as part of its ongoing efforts to advance Malaysia’s digital economy.

“The launch marks an important milestone in Malaysia’s business digitalization journey, ensuring that businesses of all sizes have access to affordable, relevant and easy-to-adopt digital tools to scale sustainability and compete more effectively,

“By embedding AI-powered business tools and innovative payment capabilities into a platform that millions of Malaysians already use, this initiative enables digital entrepreneurs to participate more meaningfully in the digital economy and supports Malaysia’s aspiration to become an AI Nation by 2030,” said Anuar Fariz Fadzil, Chief Executive Officer of MDEC.
