Alain Yee, Head of ShopeePay Malaysia, commented, “We are honoured to collaborate with the Ministry of Finance again after a very positive response from Malaysian youths last year.
“As a company that puts consumers first, we are constantly innovating to serve our users. Through ePemula, we are happy to be given a chance to encourage more Malaysian youths to embrace going cashless and use ShopeePay to experience the convenience and security, and rewards that our mobile wallet has to offer.
“We also believe that the programme will play a bigger role to simultaneously generate economic activity and sales for local merchants and traders. As more Malaysian consumers enter the cashless ecosystem, smaller businesses like convenience stores, local cafes and micro-traders will also see the need to adopt cashless payment methods as part of their operations to ensure that they are not left behind. This digital push will be a win for the country’s digital economy,” Yee added.
In addition to the rewards, ShopeePay ePemula claimants can also participate in the #ShopeeEPEMULAsquad Challenge and stand a chance to win some cool prizes worth up to RM25,000. All they have to do is follow @ShopeePay_MY on Instagram & @ShopeeMY on TikTok, snap a group picture on IG or post their slick moves on TikTok with their squad to be in the running for the awesome prize.
