Following its latest partnership with TnG Digital, KidZania Kuala Lumpur today launched the Touch ‘n Go eWallet innovation Hub and Touch ‘n Go Z-Wallet app- the first of its kind among its KidZania franchise.
Exclusively downloadable only when in KidZania KL, the kids will be able to trade in KidZos (the KidZania currency) using their own mobile phones or for those without one, a phone loan is made available for their transaction within the award winning edutainment centre.
It looks like Malaysia’s money management problem will soon be a thing of the past, at least thats the hope as kids will learn about financial literacy through spending their hard-earned kIdZos via the mobile app, or just by tapping at contactless payment terminals located throughout KidZania KL.
“The app enables kids to check their balances online which would make them start thinking about saving and to be more financial savvy. this is indeed a milestone for us as a roleplaying indoor theme park in line with our motto of the ‘ learn life today’. Helping kids understand financial aspects of earning a living is a key component of what we do here.”
“This is across the general Malaysian population, what more among the young and children. Thus, what we’re doing here at KidZania KL together with TnG Digital is crucial to inspire positive change among our young Malaysians!”
Shahrulnizar Ahmad, Mayor of KidZania KL
Meanwhile, TnG Digital, which is setting its sights on being the #1 eWallet player in Malaysia is well on its way to shift Malaysians mindsets towards embracing a cashless future by making cashless transactions more accessible, seamless and safe for all Malaysians.
Apart from lifestyle offerings such as purchasing movie and flight tickets, shopping, mobile reloads, and f&b; the TnG eWallet is also championing urban mobility through the introduction of RFID system, its partnership with EzCab, and Public Cab as well as PayDirect for toll payments.
“Children in today’s world live in a technology-first environment, with some as young as 10 years owning and proficient with smartphones. As a cashless champion, we want to encourage all Malaysians- whether young or old- to embrace technology and consider going cashless. Through this partnership with KidZania, we are empowering the younger generation to learn about technology as well as financial education in a safe and controlled environment.”
Ignatius Ong, Newly appointed TnG Digital CEO
