BigPay your Online and Offline Payment Solution

There are a few e-Wallet apps existed in Malaysia. For examples, Boost, GrabPay, BigPay and Touch’n GO e-Wallet. Each company have tried their best to promote their e-Wallet by offering discounts, coupons and referral benefits to Malaysian consumers.

However, we decided to review on BigPay e-Wallet. In our opinion, this is the perfect replacement for previous MOL Paypal card which discontinued a few years ago.  Before we proceed further, let us give a brief introduction about BigPay.

HISTORY

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, chief executive officer of AirAsia Bhd Group, announced the BigPay on Twitter. He highlighted that it was part of AirAsia’s Digital Strategy. Tony Fernandes convinced that it could be a successful product in the future by stressing that one-day BigPay will be worth more than AirAsia. BigPay offers foreign exchange remittances, linked to Mastercard and can be topped up from debit, credit cards and Online Banking.

What are the main attractions for BigPay compared to other e-Wallet apps? Let’s discuss in details below:
