EZ-Link and Mastercard have announced a partnership to allow passengers to pay for transit using their smartphones and the digital EZ-Link card at Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations and on the country’s bus network.
The collaboration between EZ-Link and Mastercard, called Pay by Wallet, will leverage Mastercard’s Pay by Account technology. EZ-Link Wallet users will be able to activate Pay by Wallet through the EZ-Link app and retrieve their personal details through Singpass. Passengers will also be able to add the Pay by Wallet digital card to Google Pay, which will allow them to scan and pay with their smartphones.
