I activated both Visa(joined the pilot) and MasterCard today. Can use 5 days from now, after tap at GTM.

Will use GPay from here on. Batteries don't fail me!

I can't use Google Pay to tap in via my MasterCard leh.

I joined on another G Pay enabled droid. That one can't use for public transport too. The experience isn't that good lol

My visa and mastercard have been approved for use on public buses and train.
However, I think it is not feasible cos I have to take out my credit card each time I wanna travel so I am scared I may lose it.

I would rather use my mobile phone instead as I hold it in my hand most of the time.

So I think the trial with credit card as a form of payment will flop but the one using Google pay (ie use phone to tap in and out) will be successful.

I've been using ABT via credit/debit card haha. Alr withdraw all the credit from my CEPAS cards.

Still waiting for ABT to officially expand into mobile payments.

Then I'll add in my DBS VISA Debit into the ABT account, use that for public transport instead of the DBS SAFRA Debit / POSB Passion / EZ-Link YouTrip cards.

You also prefer to use mobile phone for ABT, right?
I am sure others also will like.
It is so inconvenient to use credit card as ABT cos need to take out from wallet and must remember to put it back into the wallet otherwise later can't find the card and worst of all lost!

Ya mobile payments would make it easier for me too, but I purposely put all the cards in the manner that typically won't trigger the error of having multiple cards tapped at the same time.

did u receive invitation to use Visa, particularly DBS Visa Debit card for ABT?

If no, the SimplyGo launch on 4 April will only allow Mastercards on Contactless Apps.

It does not open up to Visa cards on Contactless Apps unless invitation is sent to you.

Did not receive any invitation but have successfully linked UOB One card in SimplyGO
there was a note saying only proceed if you have received invitation though

Tapped card last week on bus and the visa card worked just like the other mastercards, you could give it a try

Oh no. Didn't know that clause. I guess I'm stuck with the MasterCard then.

Take out and tap. It is as if the queue is not long enough.


Saw the recent video on MRT.
