TNG Digital is stepping up its support for Malaysia's micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) — and the gig economy — with the official launch of its TNG Digital Business Account.

The launch event was held at the Hilton Petaling Jaya and officiated by Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, YB Senator Dr. Hajah Fuziah Binti Salleh, together with TNG Digital CEO Alan Ni.

A Digital Boost for Small Traders and Freelancers

So, what exactly is this new Business Account? In simple terms, it's a fully digital eWallet account built into the familiar TNG eWallet app. While any business can use it, the focus is clearly on helping small-scale traders, hawkers, informal sellers, and gig workers — groups that often find it tough to access traditional banking services.

What's in It for Small Businesses? 

Here are some key perks:

TNG Digital isn't stopping here. They've hinted at upcoming additions like micro-lending, savings options, and protection plans to make the Business Account even more useful for small operators.

Why This Matters

According to CEO Alan Ni, this new offering was developed to tackle one of the biggest headaches for MSMEs and gig workers: lack of access to flexible digital tools that help them grow in Malaysia's increasingly digital economy.

With the TNG Digital Business Account, small business owners can finally receive and manage payments in real-time — and move money between banks seamlessly without paying extra.

The Bottom Line

If you're a hawker, online seller, freelancer, or run a small family business, this could be a practical and secure way to handle your daily transactions — and take advantage of digital features usually reserved for bigger companies.

For Malaysia's vibrant MSME scene and gig workforce, this is one more step towards a more inclusive and cashless future.
