If you find a cheaper deal in another platform, we will refund you with 120% of the difference. That is our commitment to our buyers,” says Ian Ho, Regional Managing Director, Shopee.

Meanwhile, Digi will be setting up its first eCommerce platform on Shopee by selling prepaid top up cards. Apart from that, on the banking side, all CIMB, Public Bank and RHB customers will enjoy additional 10% off on all items during the campaign period.
