For those not in the loop, EZ-Link no longer issues NETS CashCards. But don’t worry, any CEPAS card, or Contactless e-Purse Application Standard card, can replace it (look for the logo on the back of your card!). To the uninitiated, they’re contactless smartcards that can be used for all your transport and commuting needs.
If you’re unsure of where to get them or what to use them for, you’ve come to the right place — here’s your go-to guide on where to buy stored value cards like CashCard in Singapore.
What stored value cards are available in Singapore?
There are a few different types of stored value cards in Singapore like NETS FlashPay, EZ-Link card, and NETS Motoring Card. Let’s take a closer look at each of them.
01 • NETS Motoring Card
The NETS Motoring Card is the newly launched version of the NETS CashCard. It is compatible with the 2nd Generation In-Vehicle Units (2GIU) and the new on-board unit (OBU).
The card comes with free 12-month card insurance by Hong Leong Assurance as well as vehicle roadside assistance in Malaysia. You can also register your NETS Motoring Card on the WINK+ app to earn WINK+ points, which can be converted into e-vouchers.
Where to buy the NETS Motoring Card
You can purchase a NETS Motoring Card at the NETS Customer Service Centre, convenience stores (7-Eleven, Cheers, Buzz Pods, and FairPrice Xpress), and petrol stations (Shell, Caltex, SPC, and Esso).
📍 NETS Customer Service Centre: 351 Braddell Road, #01-03, Singapore 579713
⏰ Opening hours: Mon – Fri, 8.30am – 5.30pm
02 • NETS FlashPay card and NETS vCashCard
The NETS FlashPay card is a stored value card that’s used for making payment at car parks and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries.
To use it while driving, simply insert the card into your In-vehicle Unit (IU) device, which enables payments to be deducted automatically at gantries. Like the NETS Motoring Card, it is only compatible with the 2GIU and new OBU.
The NETS vCashCard is a virtual wallet that provides the same service.
Sign up for vCashCard through the NETS website and complete the online application. After successful registration, you can start using it by linking your vCashCard to the NETS App. This process includes entering your vehicle details into the app too.
Keep in mind that each vCashCard can only accommodate up to three vehicles per person. Similarly, each vehicle can only be connected to one vCashCard at a time. Learn more about setting up your vCashCard in your NETS App here.

03 • EZ-Link card
Another card that uses CEPAS technology, the EZ-Link card is one of the most popular stored value cards in Singapore. It allows you to pay for parking, ERP, all modes of public transport, private buses, and even taxis. Do take note that only EZ-Link cards not linked to SimplyGo can be used for parking and ERPs.
You can also use it at restaurants, retail establishments, entertainment outlets, libraries, community clubs, and even self-service vending machines and photo booths.
Where to buy an EZ-Link card
EZ-Link cards (non-SimplyGo) are available for purchase at SimplyGo ticket offices and service centres, convenience stores, EZ-Link vending machines, and selected retail outlets. You can also purchase them online at Shopee and Lazada.
04 • EZ-Link Motoring Card
The EZ-Link Motoring Card is a contactless stored value card meant for ERP and parking fares. Just like the EZ-Link card, it can also be used for retail and public transportation payments. Pairing it with the SimplyGo App offers you free card blocking, auto top-up, and redeemable rewards, all without losing access to parking and ERP payment. It is compatible with both the 2nd Generation In-Vehicle Units (2GIU) and the new on-board unit (OBU).
Where to buy the EZ-Link Motoring card
You can purchase an EZ-Link Motoring Card at STA Inspection Centres, EZ-Link vending machines, and convenience stores.

Both the OBU and older IU models are compatible with the NETS Motoring card, NETS FlashPay card, EZ-Link card, and EZ-Link Motoring card.
