Classic card limits and care

The Classic Touch ’n Go card has a maximum card limit or reload value of RM1,500 and a lifespan of ten (10) years, or another period determined by TNGSB.

To avoid deactivation, dormancy and a dormant fee, use it at least once a year; the fee is RM5 if the card is unused for the specified period and is not linked to a TNG eWallet Account.

A faulty Classic Touch ’n Go card qualifies for replacement without charge within thirty (30) days of purchase, provided you present the card and receipt.

Load and use your card

Reloading an enhanced card

The Enhanced Touch 'n Go card uses NFC technology for reloads through Touch 'n Go eWallet, using your eWallet balance. You need to complete eKYC in the eWallet to reload this way; if that isn’t feasible, you can reload at physical touchpoints.

Reload limits and fees

The fee for reloads through Touch 'n Go eWallet is Nil, while reloads through other channels incur a fee of RM0.50. CIMB Bank ATM reloads require a CIMB Account, and other bank ATM reloads require an ATM account. Over-the-counter reloads of a Touch 'n Go card have an additional service fee of RM0.50 per transaction.

Minimum balances for transit

MRT feeder buses use the Touch 'n Go cashless system, so you need a cashless card to ride. Before boarding a bus, keep at least RM3 in your card’s purse value; before riding a train, keep at least RM5. A Touch 'n Go card can be used by one person at any one time.
