Grab users in Malaysia have had quite a few changes to get used to since the platform rebranded its loyalty programme from GrabRewards to GrabCoins. On the surface, it may have looked like a simple name change, but in reality, it signaled a broader shift in how users earn and redeem rewards across the app. The idea is fairly straightforward: use Grab for the services you already rely on, collect GrabCoins along the way, and then use those points to cut down the cost of future orders, rides, and purchases.

If you've ever used a Google Play gift card to buy an app, subscribe to a service, or send a digital treat to someone—like I often do for my kids and friends—then you'll want to pay attention. Google has announced a significant change that will affect thousands of users in Malaysia.

Starting March 25, 2025, CIMB Bank is making a significant change to how Google Pay and Google Wallet transactions work. If you're used to entering your card PIN for purchases above RM250, that's about to change. Instead of using a PIN, biometrics like Face ID or fingerprint verification—or a passcode—will now be required.
