To send money from abroad to a Boost eWallet in Malaysia, first check whether Boost appears as a mobile-wallet payout option for your transfer in Coinepay. You will need the recipient’s wallet details and full registered name. Before you confirm, review the exchange rate, fees and estimated arrival time shown in the app.
Where is Boost used, and what details do you need?
Boost eWallet is used in Malaysia, and its wallet balance is in Malaysian ringgit (MYR). Ask the recipient to confirm that their Boost account is active and can receive the amount you intend to send. Wallet eligibility and available payout options can affect whether the transfer can proceed.
Get these details directly from the recipient:
- Registered phone number or account ID: Use whichever identifier Coinepay requests for the Boost payout option. If entering a phone number, include the correct country code and check every digit with the recipient. Do not substitute a different number because it looks familiar.
- Full registered name: Enter the recipient’s real name exactly as it appears on their Boost account. Ask them to check the spelling and name order rather than guessing or shortening it.
Boost’s DuitNow Transfer is a separate feature within the Boost app for sending from Boost to participating Malaysian banks and eWallets. A mobile number used as a DuitNow ID does not, by itself, guarantee that money will reach a particular wallet. If your goal is to pay directly into Boost from abroad, select a Boost mobile-wallet payout in Coinepay only if that option is available for your transfer; do not treat a generic phone-number transfer as equivalent.
How to send money to a Boost account
- Sign in to Coinepay. Open the Coinepay dashboard or mobile app. If you are new, register and complete the identity verification requested before using the service.
- Start a global remittance. Enter the amount you want to send and select Malaysia as the destination. Check the payout currency displayed for the recipient.
- Choose the payout method. Select mobile wallet, then choose Boost if it appears among the available payout options. Availability can vary; if Boost is not listed, do not select another wallet and assume it will forward the payment.
- Enter the recipient’s details. Provide the registered Boost phone number or account ID requested on the form, plus the recipient’s full name exactly as registered. Check the identifier against a message or other information supplied directly by the recipient.
- Review the transfer. Check the destination, payout method, recipient identifier and name. Coinepay shows the exchange rate, fees and estimated arrival time before you confirm. Review the amount the recipient is expected to receive and any additional information requested for the transfer.
- Confirm and track. Submit the transfer only when the details are correct. Follow its status in your Coinepay dashboard or app, and keep the transaction reference in case you need help.
Transfers can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and destination country. Use the estimate shown for your transfer before confirmation, then rely on its status tracking rather than assuming that the fastest possible time applies.
How will the recipient know the money arrived?
Ask the recipient to open their Boost app and check their wallet balance and transaction history for the incoming credit. They should verify the credited amount there, rather than relying only on a message or screenshot from the sender. What they see may depend on how the payout is processed; Coinepay’s transfer status and the recipient’s wallet record are the useful places to check.
If Coinepay marks the transfer as complete but the recipient cannot find the credit, ask them to refresh the Boost app, check the account associated with the identifier you entered and review their transaction history. Keep the Coinepay transaction reference and contact Coinepay support if the credit is still missing. The recipient may also need to ask Boost to investigate their wallet record.
Boost verification levels and wallet capacity
Boost distinguishes between Basic, Premium and Premium 10K Wallets. The recipient’s wallet tier affects how much it can hold, so an otherwise correct payout may not fit if the wallet is near its balance limit. Ask the recipient to check their current balance, wallet tier and applicable limits in Boost before you send. Do not assume that splitting a payment will resolve a wallet-capacity or compliance issue.
Boost says a Basic Wallet can receive DuitNow transfers but cannot send them; sending through Boost’s DuitNow feature requires a verified Premium or Premium 10K Wallet. That distinction concerns outgoing DuitNow transfers from Boost, not an assurance that any particular cross-border payout into a Basic Wallet will be accepted. If the recipient needs a higher wallet tier, they should follow Boost’s in-app verification instructions. Boost’s Premium 10K upgrade process includes identity checks and additional account steps.
Troubleshooting a Boost payout
Wrong phone number or account ID
If you have not confirmed the transfer, go back and correct the identifier. If you already confirmed it, check the transfer status and contact Coinepay support promptly with the reference. Do not submit a second transfer until you understand what happened to the first. The recipient should confirm which number or account ID is actually attached to their Boost wallet.
Recipient name does not match
Compare the name you entered with the recipient’s full name as registered with Boost. Ask the recipient to confirm spelling and name order, then follow any correction steps Coinepay provides. Do not enter another person’s name simply to get past a check.
Wallet limit reached or wallet unverified
Ask the recipient to check their Boost wallet tier, available balance capacity and verification status in the Boost app. A wallet that is full or not eligible for the relevant payout may be unable to receive the transfer. The recipient should resolve any account restriction directly with Boost; the sender can ask Coinepay support what options are available for a pending or unsuccessful transfer.
Transfer is under compliance review
Follow any request shown in Coinepay and provide accurate documents if asked, such as evidence of the transfer’s purpose or source of funds. Cross-border transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations. Coinepay does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions. Do not use another person’s wallet or alter transfer details to avoid a review.
Coinepay shows completion, but Boost shows no credit
First compare the identifier on the transfer with the recipient’s registered Boost details. Ask the recipient to check their balance and transaction history, then contact Coinepay support with the reference if the credit remains missing. The recipient can contact Boost about what appears in their account. An outgoing DuitNow transfer made from Boost has its own investigation process; it should not be confused with this Coinepay-to-Boost payout.
Before you confirm
Have the recipient verify their Boost account details and available wallet capacity, then read Coinepay’s final review screen carefully. The rate, fees and estimated arrival time shown there are specific to the transfer you are about to make. If Boost is not offered as a payout option, or a detail on the screen is unclear, contact Coinepay support before sending.

FAQ
What country and currency should I select for a Boost recipient?
Select Malaysia as the destination. Boost eWallet balances are in Malaysian ringgit (MYR); check the payout currency shown in Coinepay before confirming.
What recipient details do I need?
Get the recipient’s registered Boost phone number or account ID, whichever Coinepay requests, and their full name exactly as registered.
Can I send to any Malaysian mobile number and expect it to reach Boost?
No. A mobile number alone does not establish which wallet will receive a payment. Select Boost as the payout option if it is available and verify the recipient details before confirming.
What if the recipient’s Boost wallet is full?
Ask the recipient to check their wallet tier and available balance capacity in Boost. If a transfer is pending or unsuccessful, check its Coinepay status and contact support before sending again.
How can I tell whether the recipient received the money?
Track the transfer in Coinepay and ask the recipient to check their Boost balance and transaction history. If Coinepay shows completion but no credit appears, contact support with the transfer reference.
