The central bank’s latest payment statistics show that total e-money transactions reached RM272.55bil last year, involving 6.37 billion transactions. Fintech company TnG Digital said users of its eWallet platform are increasingly turning to its “Money Packet” feature to send digital duit raya. “Festive periods like Hari Raya Aidilfitri show how deeply digital finance is now embedded in everyday life, including how people connect, give and celebrate,” it said. TnG Digital said the e-duit raya activity on the platform typically builds up in the days leading up to Aidilfitri, with a noticeable spike on the eve of Raya. Despite the surge in digital transactions, demand for physical cash remains strong, particularly smaller denominations used for duit raya packets.
