EZ-Link, Touch ‘n Go launch dual-currency cross-border contactless card

It hosts two e-wallets in Singapore dollars and Malaysian ringgit.

Contactless payments platform EZ-Link and Malaysian e-wallet app Touch ‘n Go has launched the EZ-Link x Touch ‘n Go Motoring Card, touted as Southeast Asia’s first dual-currency cross-border contactless smart card, the two firms announced in a press release.

The card offers motorists payment options in both countries. It hosts two electronic purses – the EZ-Link purse in Singapore dollars, and the Touch ‘n Go purse in Malaysian ringgit.

The card will especially be useful once the cross-border travel between Singapore and Malaysia resumes. For example, Singapore motorists can use this card for Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) payments, checkpoint toll charges and parking fees at selected car parks in Singapore.

In Malaysia, it can be used to pay for highway tolls, checkpoint toll charges, parking fees as well as bus and MRT fares.

It is also accepted at Touch ‘n Go retail outlets.

An initial release of limited stocks will be made available for purchase on the official EZ-Link Store on Lazada Singapore at S$7 with no load value on 17 August.

Subsequently, the cards will be made available for sale at selected 7-Eleven convenience stores in Singapore at S$10 inclusive of S$3 load value in the EZ-Link purse in September.

Users can top up the EZ-Link purse and the Touch ‘n Go purse at regular channels in Singapore and Malaysia respectively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
