Too bad can't be added to Apple nor Google Pay.

Wonder what they did to end up so messed up.

Ah yes, unable to be added for Apple Pay/Google Pay.

Probably broke some T&C/agreements?

They don’t want to give Apple/Google a cut every time we pay with our phones.

But the usage will more than cover the cost?

Then for convenience sake I might end up using another card like Revolut or Instarem instead, not that their rates these days can't be better. Using the watch lagi convenient too.

I 100% agree. For a long time, Youtrip doesn’t support ApplePay too, Revolut from day one has and even before the physical card has arrived, they will prompt you to use ApplePay instead. And when I top up large amount to my TNG wallet, they will prompt my card company and Revolut can use FaceID/TouchID to verify while ichange has to wait for the OTP which sometimes takes forever.

Volume is key, and personally I cannot comment on ichange. If Singaporeans only associate ichange with ringgit and top up TNG ewallet, I honestly don’t think they are earning much. I look around me, most Singaporeans like for example several of my friends who go Japan holiday, I have yet to hear one friend use ichange for Yen transaction, mainly Revolut/Youtrip or their bank cards which can earn miles/points.

Yes, so they have to provide the feature first then continue with marketing to ensure sustainability.
Otherwise, how to fight with the giants like YT/Revolut etc. when even basic feature is missing.

Always good to have more competition.

Wah, finally iChange allow TNG topup. Finally I can transfer out my RM.
