CelcomDigi Launches SafePAY Jr with Vircle to Help Families Teach Safe and Responsible Spending

CelcomDigi has launched SafePAY Jr with Vircle, offering a child-safe prepaid card and e-wallet that enables parents to monitor and control their children’s spending. The solution combines real-time supervision with practical tools to build responsible financial habits.

MALAYSIA, 6 JANUARY 2026 – CelcomDigi Berhad has introduced SafePAY Jr, a new addition to its Safety product portfolio, through a collaboration with Debit Circles Sdn Bhd (Vircle). The solution combines Vircle’s e-wallet with a child-safe Vircle Visa Prepaid Card, giving parents a secure and practical way to guide their children’s financial habits while protecting them from unsafe spending.

Designed for modern family use, SafePAY Jr allows parents to monitor and manage their children’s spending digitally through a single app. With real-time transaction visibility and intuitive controls, parents can set spending limits, approve or block categories, and ensure that out-of-school expenses remain safe and appropriate. Categories such as liquor, gambling, dating services, vape stores and similar high-risk merchants are automatically blocked by default.

Available exclusively to CelcomDigi Postpaid customers, SafePAY Jr is offered at a special introductory price of RM1 for the first month, followed by a monthly subscription of RM8, with a one-time processing fee of RM10 upon sign-up. Subscriptions can be activated directly via the CelcomDigi app.

Key features include real-time alerts for every transaction, instant card freeze and unfreeze options, and notifications when spending attempts are made in blocked categories. The prepaid nature of the card ensures children can only spend within the limits set by parents, reducing the risk of overspending.

Beyond supervision, SafePAY Jr is positioned as a financial learning tool. Parents can assign chores, reward completed tasks, and help children understand earning, saving, and responsible spending in a controlled environment. The collaboration reflects CelcomDigi’s and Vircle’s shared aim of empowering families with safer digital and real-world financial experiences.
