How to Top Up Grab Wallet When Overseas

Grab, the popular ride-hailing and delivery app, offers a convenient mobile wallet called GrabPay. While GrabPay is widely accepted in Southeast Asia, using it internationally has some limitations.

Restrictions on International GrabPay Usage

International GrabPay usage is restricted to the currency of the country of origin. This means that you cannot top up your Malaysian Ringgit GrabPay balance from abroad.

Topping Up GrabPay Abroad

To use GrabPay in a different country, you will need to make local currency top-ups within that nation. The method for topping up may vary depending on the country.

Possible Top-Up Methods

Here are some common methods for topping up GrabPay overseas:

• Bank transfer: You can make a bank transfer to Grab’s local bank account in the country where you are.
• Cash top-up: You can visit designated cash top-up locations, such as convenience stores or Grab partner outlets.
• Credit/debit card: If supported in the country, you can top up GrabPay using your international credit or debit card.

Note: The specific top-up options available may vary depending on the country and local regulations.

In-App Top-Up Option

In some countries, Grab may offer an in-app top-up option for international users. This option allows you to top up your GrabPay balance using your international payment card. However, this feature is not available in all countries.

To check if the in-app top-up option is available in the country you are currently in:

1. Open the Grab app.
2. Tap on the “Payments” icon.
3. Select “Top Up.”

If you see an option to top up using an international card, you can use that method to add funds to your GrabPay balance.

Other Considerations

• Exchange rates: When topping up GrabPay using an international payment card, currency exchange rates may apply.
• Transaction fees: Some top-up methods may involve additional transaction fees.
• Minimum top-up amount: There may be a minimum top-up amount required for certain methods.

By following these steps and considering the limitations, you can ensure that you can use GrabPay conveniently when traveling overseas.
