EnrichMoney is just one of the many ways we provide innovative solutions that meet the needs of our growing members. We are committed to delivering new products and services that simplify life and empower members to achieve their goals.

They can now buy and sell up to 20 foreign currencies in-app anytime, anywhere and enjoy the hassle-free travel experience that comes with our prepaid card, while also reaping in rewards along the way.”

EnrichMoney offers several benefits that make it an attractive option for Enrich members. Users can load up to RM20,000 onto the card, which can be used to make purchases or to withdraw cash at ATMs worldwide that accept Visa, allowing members to lock in the exchange rate at the time of purchase and eliminating the risk of fluctuating exchange rates. The multi-currency foreign exchange enables users to spend like a local with the best rates and zero fees on overseas transactions. Users can also engage the security feature to lock or limit spends on the card, as all settings are easily controlled in-app.   

On top of this, members will also earn EnrichMoney Points whenever they spend a minimum of RM20 on retail and other transactions which can then be redeemed in the app for cashback. Members will also have the option to top up their e-wallet with either money or Enrich Points for more opportunities to gain cashback.

In addition, with the EnrichMoney e-wallet, members can always easily track their expenses and funds. The analytic feature enables users to not only check their balance and view their transaction history but also create savings boxes for specific trips or bills and more. 

EnrichMoney also makes it easier to send money to family and friends, with instant and safe digital transfers via the e-wallet app remit feature. In case of any issues or concerns, users will have full assistance with 24/7 customer support.
