Is Gempak eWallet Safe? Security Features Explained

Security is the foundation of Gempak eWallet. We understand that Malaysians need complete confidence that their money and personal data are protected before they can fully embrace a cashless lifestyle.

Bank Negara Malaysia Regulated

Gempak eWallet operates under a licence issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), the central bank and financial regulator of Malaysia. All eWallet operations, transaction limits and fund protection standards comply fully with BNM's regulatory framework for electronic money (e-money) issuers.

Fund Protection

Your Gempak eWallet balance is held in segregated trust accounts managed by licensed Malaysian banks. These funds are completely separate from Gempak eWallet's operational accounts, meaning your money is protected even in unlikely business continuity scenarios.

Bank-Grade Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and Gempak eWallet servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption – the same standard used by Malaysia's major banks. Your financial data, transaction history and personal information are never stored in plaintext.

Two-Factor Authentication

Every transaction requires two-factor authentication via your registered mobile number. Large transactions trigger an additional OTP verification layer. You can also enable biometric authentication (fingerprint or face ID) for added convenience without compromising security.

Real-Time Fraud Detection

Our AI-powered fraud detection system monitors every transaction in real time, flagging unusual patterns and blocking suspicious activity instantly. If we detect anything unusual on your account, you'll be notified immediately via push notification and SMS.
