TNG Digital Sdn. Bhd. (TNG Digital), the operator of the TNG eWallet, is collaborating with UNHCR to bridge the financial inclusion gap for refugees and asylum-seekers. An MOU signing took place to mark the collaboration which was announced in conjunction with World Refugee Day. The rollout of services to refugees and asylum-seekers is expected to be launched in the last quarter of 2024.
TNG Digital is committed to promoting financial inclusion for all, especially refugees and asylum-seekers and aims to empower refugee communities with the financial tools refugees and asylum-seekers need to build stable, self-sufficient lives.
For refugees and asylum-seekers, access to essential financial services remains a challenge in Malaysia. UNHCR highlighted the constraints refugees face when it comes to accessing financial services and it is a key component of achieving protection and long-term solutions for refugees.
This collaboration aims to greatly increase access to critical financial services for refugees and asylum-seekers, which can be benefiting to both refugees and the host community.
