10 reasons to get the NETS Prepaid Card for yourself and your family
Tired of digging through your wallet at a cash-only store only to come up short? Or missing the bus because there’s no way to top up your transit pass on-the-go? Make these nightmare scenarios a thing of the past by switching to the NETS Prepaid Card. As the most ubiquitously accepted payment method in Singapore, the NETS Prepaid Card delivers unparalleled convenience in addition to a host of smart functionalities. Here are 10 reasons to ditch the overstuffed wallet and get a NETS Prepaid Card instead!
1. One card is all you need
From the morning commute to after-work shopping and drinks, busy urbanites stop at many mass transit stations and retail points on a daily basis – each with their own accepted forms of payment. Compatible with SimplyGo, the NETS Prepaid Card lets you make contactless payments on public transit and at all NETS retail points, including businesses that don’t accept debit and credit cards.
2. Ready to go
The NETS Prepaid Card is immediately ready for use – no credit checks or long forms to complete. This makes the card accessible to everyone, from young professionals to domestic helpers and dependents. Anyone can simply head to the nearest TransitLink Ticket Office or convenience store and pick up a NETS Prepaid Card for $10 (with $5 preloaded).
3. It’s safer than carrying cash
If you lose your wallet, the cash is gone forever. But if you lose your NETS Prepaid Card, you can instantly lock it via the NETS App to prevent a stranger from draining your hard-earned dollars. The balance from a lost NETS Prepaid Card can also be refunded straight to your bank account for convenience and peace of mind.
4. Be smart with your spending
With the NETS Prepaid Card, your spending is limited to the stored amount. Want to rein in your everyday expenses? Set additional spending limits and alerts via the NETS App to ensure that you stick to your budget.
5. Top up anytime, anywhere
The NETS Prepaid Card lets you top up on the go via the NETS App. No more queuing at ticketing machines or convenience stores! If you think two steps are too many, you can also choose Auto Top-Up. Just save your NETS bank card, credit card or debit card details on the NETS App for faster top-ups and set the account balance threshold along with the automatic reload value. What’s more, you can link your NETS account with up to 10 Prepaid Cards, so you can top up remotely for yourself and your family.
6. Easily manage multiple cards
NETS Prepaid Card helps you to budget effectively for your entire household. All outgoing expenses as well as top-ups for linked cards are clearly accounted for in the NETS App, so you can keep track of your household finances.
