New app turns your smartphone into a top up machine for EZ-Link cards

[hokkien]

Land Transport Authority-owned EZ-Link has launched an app that turns your smartphone into a mobile machine that tops up the value of your EZ-link card.

Touted to be the world's first, the My EZ-Link Mobile app automates payment by charging to a user-designated Visa and MasterCard debit or credit card. Users must first enter personal and payment details into the app before they can tap their EZ-Link card on the smartphone to top up.

The app works only on smartphones that are near field communications (NFC) enabled. NFC is a wireless transmission technology that allows mobile payment.

With this, commuters need not visit ATMs or EZ-Link machines anymore. The smartphone payment option adds to existing fuss-free Giro and automatic stored-value reload options tied to the POSB ATM card and most credit cards.

Really adding feet to a snake. My credit card also acts as an EZ-Link card, it gets automatically topped up.

Stop wasting precious smartphone memory storage space with these kind of lanjiao apps.

In Spore I think it prudent to limit how the gov't or their GLCs can get money from your account. Look at GIRO & how the gov't can misuse it once you turn it on

If you think you can limit or be prudent as to how you hand money over to them or their GLC, they can do another round of taking another kind of money from you like your CPF or another new kind of fund and then..

Lock them up and say they are safe keeping it FROM YOU! hahahahaha
