Touch 'n Go Card Latest [Safe and Reliable] Purchase Method Guide

This time, I’d like to introduce a safe and reliable way to purchase Malaysia’s Touch 'n Go card, which is not always easy to obtain.

Touch ’n Go is Malaysia’s rechargeable travel card, similar to Singapore’s EZ-Link, London’s Oyster Card, or Australia’s Opal Card. It can be used not only for public transport, but also for toll roads, parking, and even convenience stores. It’s especially convenient to get one in advance if you’re planning a long-term stay or expect to travel frequently during your time in Malaysia.

● Uses

• Paying tolls on highways

• Riding LRT and MRT trains

• Taking Rapid KL buses (cash not accepted)

• Paying for parking (e.g. at shopping malls)

• Making payments at restaurants and supermarkets via the TnG eWallet app

The standard Touch ’n Go card and the new NFC-enabled card each require a one-time issuance fee of RM10 (approximately USD2.20).

※ RM1 ≒ USD0.22 (as of July 2025). Please note that prices are subject to change.

The validity period is 10 years for the standard card and 7 years for the NFC card. Previously, Touch ’n Go cards could be purchased at drugstores and other retail outlets, but they are no longer available there. (They can still occasionally be found at train stations, but often these are older versions without NFC support.) While the cards are also sold on platforms like Shopee and Lazada, there have been reports of scams. So here, we’ll show you safe and reliable ways to get a genuine Touch ’n Go card!
