EZ-Link Partners With Mastercard for Greater Digital Payments Capabilities

EZ-Link announced the launch of its enhanced EZ-Link Wallet that was developed in collaboration with Mastercard.

When users activate the new Pay by Wallet feature, they can use their EZ-Link Wallet to make online and in-store contactless payments at over 80 million Mastercard merchants worldwide.

This means that they can use Pay by Wallet to shop online, as well as manage subscriptions for services like Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, gym membership, ride-hailing and more.

Users will also be able to add Pay by Wallet to Google Pay to make contactless mobile payments for both retail and transit transactions.

EZ-Link Wallet users can activate Pay by Wallet through their EZ-Link App, and perform an instant sign-up securely and seamlessly via SingPass.

Through EZ-Link and Mastercard’s partnership, Pay by Wallet users will also see greater value and rewards.

They will be able to earn EZ-Link Rewards points with every transaction and redeem them for benefits from over 200 merchants on the EZ-Link Rewards platform.

As part of the launch, EZ-Link is offering a sign-up bonus to the first 20,000 users who activate Pay by Wallet on their EZ-Link App.

They will receive S$5 credit upon sign-up, and an additional S$5 cashback on their first spend until 31 July 2022.

The EZ-Link Wallet was first introduced in 2020 to deliver a more seamless and rewarding experience for users’ transport and retail transactions, and can be used for payments at local SGQR and overseas Alipay+ acceptance points.
