In this day and age, we want everything to be quick, efficient, and easily accessible. Fortunately, mobile phone apps bring convenience at our fingertips. With just a swipe and a tap, we can accomplish multiple tasks and life has never been easier.

Even today, we can buy flight tickets, order lunch, and catch up with our closest friends through mobile apps in an instant. But what about those who hit the road? Is there an app that can make their lives easier too?

Motorists are always struggling to manage the myriad tasks involved in their daily commute. From buying fuel to paying for parking, it can be a chore and a time-consuming process.

Enter Setel, a super app utilising data-driven insights to provide a seamless experience for motorists who are constantly on the go. Introduced in 2018 as the first app in Malaysia to integrate directly with fuel pumps, Setel has since evolved into a full-fledged platform that caters to the needs of over four million motorists across Malaysia.

With just a single app, you can pay for fuel, locate nearby charging stations for your electric vehicles (EV), pay for on-street or building parking and even pay for your insurance and road tax. That’s not all! You can also buy groceries and other essentials from PETRONAS petrol stations in Malaysia directly through the app, saving you time and energy. The best part is you can do it all without leaving your car!

What also sets Setel apart from other apps is its commitment to continuously leverage innovative solutions to address motorists’ daily struggles, making mobility inclusive for everyone, including people with disabilities and young children.

“For a person with disability (PWD) like me, it saves the hassle of having to walk to the cashier to make payments. Everything is so fast and easy, including earning and claiming many Mesra points.”

Whatever you are looking for to help with your daily commute, Setel has got you covered with a range of unique features:

Fuel purchase

Enjoy the convenience and comfort of paying for fuel in your vehicle. It is as simple as paying, pumping and to the next destination you go. How great does refueling without having to queue for payment sound like?

“Setel has made my life easier (when refuelling), especially when my kids are in the car. I don’t have to run and check if they are okay.”

— Testimonial on TikTok

The latest feature – “One-tap fueling” allows you to pay for fuel in one tap via the app on your mobile phone or Apple Watch. Furthermore, the more you spend, the more Mesra points you get. You can enjoy up to 3x Mesra points with every fuel purchase.

Running out of storage space? Then use Setel Lite, a lightweight version of the app. No need to worry as Setel Lite has a small download size and works on slower internet connectivity too.

DuitNow QR and SetelPay at retail and online merchants beyond PETRONAS, Kedai Mesra and Café Mesra

No doubt that cashless payment is the way forward. Now, you can even use the app beyond PETRONAS stations as they have integrated DuitNow QR through its partnership with Payments Network Malaysia Sdn Bhd. Setel’s intention is to better serve its core demographic – the motorists – while making the app more inclusive and accessible to a wider customer base across their retail purchases and other needs.

So, use your Setel wallet to pay for purchases from millions of DuitNow merchants nationwide and beyond EV charging, motor insurance, parking and more. Soon, you will also be able to send and receive funds using DuitNow QR and generate your own DuitNow QR to facilitate fund transfers into your e-wallet.

With Setel Pay, you get to enjoy contactless convenience and a guarantee of security when making payments at your favourite stores including Subway, Tealive, Siti Khadijah, Mydin, Kenny Rogers and many more!

You can search and select their charging locations, view the type of chargers available and activate the EV charging session, and monitor the status of the EV charging, which all can be done remotely. EV charging is now available at over 20 locations and expanding to more locations in Malaysia.

Deliver2Me

Enjoy meals from Pasta Panas, treats from Dunkin Donuts, Tealive and other merchants at selected PETRONAS stations, with more coming in the future.

“The best feature of Setel is family wallet. All family members can use the same account. If my wife has low credit balance, she can still refuel and pay from the shared account.”

— Testimonial on Twitter

Through Family Wallet, you can invite up to five of your favourite people as members to pay for fuel and items where Setel is accepted as a payment method. This is an ideal function for those who manage the expenses of your loved ones. You can pay, track and budget for the people you love. It only takes one Setel account to pay and collect Mesra points for all!

CardTerus

Some people still enjoy the simplicity of magic cards (read: credit cards). Setel certainly provides added convenience by including the CardTerus feature in the app. With this feature, you can link your credit or debit card and use it to pay directly with Setel, and earn cashback in return. You also get to enjoy up to 3x Mesra points for fuel, 1x Mesra point for Kedai Mesra, and 1x Mesra point for every RM5 transaction on Setel Pay, auto assistance and EV charging.
