Mrs Then has been a faithful user of the ez-link card since its introduction in 2002, mainly for commuting on public buses, MRT and LRT trains in Singapore. She is also planning to embrace all the exciting services that await the new CEPAS-compliant ez-link card, particularly in making purchases at 7-Eleven outlets as it “saves time and is more convenient!”
Mr Gregory Danker, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, EZ-Link commented, “We are happy to have crossed the 2.5 million mark as it represents the resounding trust that our customers have in us. In the coming months ahead, EZ-Link will be introducing new services, such as entry into ERP and EPS payments, to make the card more versatile so as to ensure continued support from our customers”.
In conjunction with the ongoing ez-link card mass replacement exercise, owners of the new ez-link cards are entitled to receive free six months accidental Permanent Total Disability insurance coverage of up to $5,000 whilst travelling on public transport using their new ez-link card when they register their card on EZ-Link’s website.
