The new MyKad launched on 16 September with 53 security elements including contact and contactless NFC and an enforcement QR code, but its redesign (chip left, no photo on the right) broke eKYC matching — the new card was rejected when signing up for TNG eWallet, Ryt Bank, AEON Bank and GXBank because the MyDigital ID app still rendered the old card template. Why: If you run or integrate Malaysian onboarding, the new MyKad has been failing eKYC since mid-September at four named institutions (TNG eWallet, Ryt Bank, AEON Bank, GXBank) purely because of a card template mismatch — that is a fixable image/template assumption in your pipeline, not a chip or NFC problem. Anyone shipping a mobile app that touches identity should note this rollout is Android-first with no iOS or Huawei date given, so you cannot assume all users can self-register; plan a kiosk or JPN pre-registration fallback and ask your eKYC vendor whether their template library already covers the 16 September card. malaysia digital-identity ekyc fintech mobile

MyDigital ID supports the new MyKad, but only for Android smartphones

MyDigital ID's Android app now supports the next-gen MyKad, letting new cardholders complete identity registration online after updating via the Google Play Store; iOS and Huawei users still have no timeline and must use a physical kiosk if urgent. The new MyKad launched on 16 September with 53 security elements including contact and contactless NFC and an enforcement QR code, but its redesign (chip left, no photo on the right) broke eKYC matching — the new card was rejected when signing up for TNG eWallet, Ryt Bank, AEON Bank and GXBank because the MyDigital ID app still rendered the old card template.
