How to top up e-money via M2U ID App for a More Comfortable Mudik Trip

25 March 2025

Homecoming is one of the annual traditions that Indonesians always look forward to before Eid al-Fitr. The journey back to your hometown to gather with your family is a moment full of happiness and togetherness. However, a homecoming trip also requires careful preparation, especially in terms of homecoming expenses, such as transport costs, accommodation, and unexpected expenses during the trip.

One of the mandatory things that need to be prepared, especially for those going home, is e-money. In this digital era, the toll payment system in Indonesia uses a non-cash transaction method, namely with e-money. Therefore, making sure you have enough e-money balance before leaving is an important step to keep your journey comfortable and smooth. In addition to paying tolls, there are several transactions that utilise e-money, among others::

• Pay for Parking

  Some parking areas, especially at rest areas and shopping centres, rely on an e-money-based payment system. With a sufficient e-money balance, you don't have to bother looking for cash to pay for parking.

• Pay for Snacks at Minimarket

  During the journey, the need to buy food and drinks is inevitable. Many minimarkets in rest areas and along the highway provide payment facilities with e-money, so transactions can be done more quickly and practically.

To keep your homecoming trip smooth and comfortable, make sure your e-money balance is available by topping up through various available methods such as at the nearest minimarket or through mobile phones that have NFC features using mobile banking applications. .

One easy and practical method to top-up e-money is by using M2U ID App, a mobile banking application from Maybank Indonesia that allows you to top-up e-money anytime and anywhere.
