TNG Digital, EPOS launch AI-powered EPOS360 platform for Malaysian SMEs

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – TNG Digital Sdn. Bhd. and EPOS, the SME transformation platform of Ant International, have launched EPOS360 and EPOS360 BlueTap in Malaysia, introducing a suite of AI-powered tools and integrated payment capabilities aimed at supporting the digitalisation and growth of local businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

The launch was announced in Kuala Lumpur on 15 January 2026. EPOS360 is being introduced as a mini-programme within the TNG eWallet app, providing SMEs access to AI-driven business tools, integrated payments, and marketing features through a single platform. Merchants using the solution can reach more than 25 million TNG eWallet users through features such as Near Me vouchers, while managing business operations within the same ecosystem.

The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) is supporting the initiative as part of its broader efforts to advance Malaysia’s digital economy. MDEC CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil said the launch aligns with the country’s digitalisation agenda.

“The launch marks an important milestone in Malaysia’s business digitalisation journey, ensuring that businesses of all sizes have access to affordable, relevant and easy-to-adopt digital tools to scale sustainability and compete more effectively. By embedding AI-powered business tools and innovative payment capabilities into a platform that millions of Malaysians already use, this initiative enables digital entrepreneurs to participate more meaningfully in the digital economy and supports Malaysia’s aspiration to become an AI Nation by 2030”.

He added that as MDEC marks its 30th anniversary this year, initiatives of this nature help ensure Malaysian businesses remain resilient and competitive.

As part of the EPOS360 offering, TNG Digital and EPOS have also introduced EPOS360 BlueTap, a new over-the-counter payment device that supports multiple payment methods through a single terminal. The device enables tap-to-pay with TNG eWallet, alongside DuitNow QR and other major eWallets, with card payments to be added in the future.

The BlueTap device includes audio payment confirmation at the point of sale, integration with the TNG eWallet ecosystem for transaction insights, and support for multiple banks and eWallets without requiring frequent hardware changes.

Alan Ni, chief executive officer of TNG Digital, said the integration of EPOS360 into TNG eWallet is intended to lower barriers for SMEs seeking to expand their digital presence.

“SMEs are at the heart of Malaysia’s economy. Our role at TNG Digital is to remove barriers and make growth easier. By bringing EPOS360 into TNG eWallet, we are giving businesses simple, trusted tools to reach more customers, run their businesses better, and grow within an ecosystem that millions of Malaysians use every day.”

Through EPOS360, SMEs can access AI-powered capabilities across various stages of their business journey, including digital setup, marketing, customer engagement and scaling operations. Features include AI-assisted menu creation, campaign development, and deployment across in-app, digital, and offline channels, including BlueTap devices.

Alan Wang, CEO of EPOS and vice president of Ant International, said digitalisation has become essential for SMEs operating in competitive markets.

“SMEs are the heart of our communities, and yet they face very real challenges in an increasingly competitive environment. Digitalisation is no longer a nice to have, and we believe that by putting the right technology into the hands of SMEs, we can empower them to unlock new and exciting opportunities. We’re excited to partner with TNG Digital, Malaysia’s biggest mobile ecosystem to bring this vision to reality, and jointly accelerate the growth and transformation of local SMEs. Moving forward, Ant International, through EPOS, will significantly accelerate its strategy to drive SME digitalisation in Southeast Asia and beyond.”

EPOS360 has launched in Malaysia and is expected to be introduced in Singapore in the near future. The platform combines AI-powered tools, enhanced payment solutions and financial services into a single system designed to support SME growth in the digital economy.
