myboost SMS Verification

Using a digital wallet and paying bills in Malaysia? A virtual number can handle the myboost SMS verification step, while identity checks for financial features use your own details.

Boost, found at myboost, is an all-in-one fintech app run in Malaysia by Boost Holdings Sdn. Bhd. It combines the Boost Wallet e-wallet, Scan & Pay payments, Multibills bill payments, Boost Bank savings jars and PayFlex instalments of up to 24 months, and it offers POS and online payment tools for businesses. It verifies your number by SMS to protect the account.

With a virtual number you enter a temporary Malaysian number in the app and type in the code, but because the wallet, bank and instalment products are financial services, identity verification uses your own details. It is a short-term option for newcomers to Malaysia whose local SIM is not active yet, or for people exploring the app; move the account to your permanent number afterwards.

On a wallet that holds money, login approvals and recovery may depend on your phone number, and losing a temporary number can make your balance hard to reach. Do not click reward or refund links sent in Boost's name, never share your PIN or verification code, and check the repayment schedule before using instalments.
