TNG Digital Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia’s largest integrated fintech player, has partnered with Kakitangan.com, a human resource solutions provider, to offer businesses a smarter and more inclusive way to disburse salaries, especially to unbanked and underserved workers.
TNG Digital said in a statement on Wednesday that with the integration of the DuitNow Bulk Transfer, employers using Kakitangan.com can now disburse salaries in bulk directly using any bank’s cash management system to employees’ TNG eWallet account, quickly and securely, even without traditional bank accounts.
Each TNG eWallet user has a DuitNow account number, allowing users to receive payments from any bank or eWallet in Malaysia, just like a regular bank account.
Recognized by Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) as a compliant salary account, TNG eWallet is especially valuable for migrant and underserved workers who often face barriers to opening bank accounts.
It gives them immediate access to their income, along with tools to store, manage, and use their money confidently in the digital space.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Kakitangan.com to make salary payments more accessible to all workers in Malaysia,
“Financial inclusion has always been at the heart of our mission, and with this partnership, TNG Digital and Kakitangan.com will be able to address the real pain points of individuals who lack access to traditional bank accounts by providing them with a secure and accessible salary solution through the TNG eWallet,” said Alan Ni, Chief Executive Officer of TNG Digital.
“This empowers them with greater financial freedom, dignity, and peace of mind. With over 2 million foreigners using TNG eWallet, we’re confident that this partnership will further enhance HR and payroll workflows for companies, ensuring no one is left behind in the digital age,” he added.
Serving over 10,000 companies, Kakitangan.com is known for its end-to-end human resources solutions that ensure statutory compliance and accurate record-keeping through automated workflows.
With this partnership, Kakitangan.com is expanding its services to include unbanked employees — enabling businesses to disburse salaries quickly, securely, and in full compliance with local regulations.
This reduces manual human resource work and improves employee satisfaction and retention, especially among underserved workers.
“Kakitangan.com is trusted by tens of thousands of Malaysian businesses for helping boost productivity and employee engagement through our artificial intelligence (AI)-powered, reliable online human resource and payroll solutions,
“We’re excited to partner with TNG Digital — a platform we trust — to make comprehensive payroll offerings even more inclusive and efficient in the digital banking era,” said Effon Khoo, Director of Kakitangan.com.
“With the integration between Kakitangan.com and TNG eWallet, we can now better support Malaysian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) whose employees prefer digital wallets, enabling them to receive salaries in a timely, automated, and secure manner,
“We look forward to building on this collaboration to empower Malaysian businesses, strengthen the Malaysia’s economy via digitalization, and improve the lives of the people here,” he added.
According to the statement, employees who receive salaries via TNG eWallet also gain access to a full suite of financial services, from making payments with DuitNow QR and Visa Card, to sending money back to their home country via Remittance, or withdrawing cash using the linked Touch ‘n Go eWallet Visa Card.
These features help users, especially the unbanked, manage their finances more independently and participate fully in Malaysia’s digital economy.
