The EZ-Link App is a free mobile application developed to enhance your overall experience with our full suite of EZ-Link products and services. This app supports the use of your EZ-Link such as cards, charms and EZ-Link NFC SIM.
Upon successful registration, please add your EZ-Link to your account by either tapping your EZ-Link at the NFC antenna of your phone (If you are using an NFC-enabled phone, please ensure that the NFC function is switched on under your phone settings) or keying in the 16-digit CAN ID found on the back of your EZ-Link.
After you have successfully added your EZ-Link to your account, you will be able to check your card balance, view your EZ-Link transaction history and earn rewards. Please note that the top-up function is only available for NFC enabled phones.
With effect from September 2019, full NRIC/FIN numbers will no longer be required to register for an account. Instead, your mobile number/email address will be used. Please follow the steps in-app to verify your details via a 2FA process.
The EZ-Link App will require an internet connection for functions such as the checking of EZ-Link transaction history, performing top-up transactions for your EZ-Link, and redeeming EZ-Link Rewards points for rewards on the catalogue. Should there be no internet connection, these functions will not be available.
a) Presence of other contactless smartcards near the phone
The presence of other contactless smartcards nearby could have sent mixed signals to your phone and disrupted the reading of card information. All other contactless smartcards nearby should be removed to ensure proper detection.
b) Your EZ-Link not placed near the NFC antenna of the mobile phone
The position of the NFC antenna differs across various mobile phones. You may refer to your handset manual or your handset manufacturer to find out the exact location of the NFC antenna for your mobile phone.
c) Tapping of CEPAS Cards or Charms that are not issued by EZ-Link
The EZ-Link App is designed to work with CEPAS cards and EZ-Charms issued by EZ-Link, easily identifiable by the EZ-Link logo on the reverse side of the card or EZ-Charm.
d) EZ-Link not tapped and held properly
The NFC reader might not be able to capture the EZ-Link card/EZ-Charm information properly on the first tap due to movement. If this happens, remove your EZ-Link and try tapping again after a few seconds. Please remember to tap and hold your EZ-Link steadily throughout the transaction to minimise reading errors.
e) Performance of NFC antenna
The speed at which your EZ-Link is being read depends on the type of NFC antenna and transmission performance of the mobile phone. This means that you may need to hold your EZ-Link longer or tap again if you do not receive any response on your first try. Certain mobile phone casings may also affect the performance of the NFC antenna. You are recommended to remove your phone casing for optimal performance.
NFC SIM card users can use the EZ-Link App to access the NFC EZ-Link purse by inserting the NFC SIM card into the phone and adding the NFC SIM card into the My EZ-Link page. The NFC SIM card should be automatically detected by the app.
All your account information are saved and stored in our Cloud servers. When you reinstall the application on your phone and log in with the same login credentials, you would be able to retrieve all your account information.

As part of the Distance Fares scheme implemented by LTA, commuters are charged the full bus fare upon tapping their EZ-Link when boarding and refunded the fare from remaining unconsumed journey upon tapping out when alighting. The amount to be refunded is computed based on the last transaction performed on your EZ-Link. Should you perform a top-up while completing your current bus ride, you will be charged the maximum fare even upon alighting from the bus.
Users are recommended to only perform top-ups on the EZ-Link App before or after their bus journeys. EZ-Link will not provide any refunds or claims on bus fares for failure to adhere to the above conditions.

You can re-launch the EZ-Link App and check your transaction details for the particular EZ-Link once you are reconnected to the internet. There should not be any deductions made from your credit/debit card account if the top-up was unsuccessful. You may wish to contact the issuing bank of your credit/debit card to confirm.
You can re-launch the EZ-Link App and go to the My EZ-Link page. If there is an incomplete top-up, it will be indicated accordingly. You can continue the top-up process by clicking the top-up button and you would be redirected to the final step of the top-up process.
