Can ID EZ Link?

Yes. The EZ-Link App works on both NFC-enabled and non-NFC enabled phones. CEPAS cards and EZ-Link charms issued by EZ-Link have a 16-digit CAN ID that begins with 100. Unfortunately, we are unable to support CEPAS cards issued by other providers such as NETS FlashPay.

Similarly, it is asked, can debit card be used as EZ Link?

You can now use your debit or credit cards for your bus and train rides with SimplyGo. “But I am so used to using my EZ-Link card - why should I make the switch?” you ask.

One may also ask, what is EZ Link card number? Alternatively, you can call the EZ-Link Hotline at 65-6496 8300 (From 8AM to 6PM daily – except public holidays). During non-operating hours, please leave us a voice mail with your name, contact number and your 16-digit EZ-Link CAN ID.

Likewise, how do I get a EZ link for my child?

Parents may proceed to any TransitLink Ticket Office and bring along child's Birth Certificate to make a replacement Child Concession Card. An administrative fee of $13 is payable for each replacement on top of the travel value. Electronically faulty cards will be replaced free.

Can I use my phone as EZlink?

Once you put your fancy NFC SIM card in your phone, you can tap your phone and use it as an EZ-Link card. Unfortunately for iPhone users, this whole NFC thing is only for Android phones.

Any of the SimplyGo-enabled cards can be directly tapped at the MRT/bus gantries or added to mobile wallets and used. No; there are no additional fees for using locally-issued credit cards. However, if you do use a foreign-issued (non-Singapore) card there will be a fee of 50 cents per transaction.
To use EZ-Reload, you need to apply to link your debit or credit card through the EZ-Link app (Mastercard and Visa only) or website (American Express and Diners accepted). You can also link your EZ-Link card to a DBS /POSB bank account using GIRO via one of the AXS machines available island-wide.
