Watch out for Card Clash when using your card

Always tap in and out with your registered Mastercard Contactless card only.
Card Clash
HOW TO AVOID CARD CLASH

If you have more than one contactless payment card (Mastercard, Ezlink, NETS FlashPay or others) in your wallet or purse, you might experience card clash.

Card clash happens when the reader detects more than one card from the same tap. As a result, the following could occur:

  • You get an error because the reader does not know which card to read; or
  • The reader makes a deduction from a card you did not intend to use; or
  • You could be charged the maximum fare more than once because multiple cards are detected at once; or
  • You could be charged the maximum fare twice if you tap in and out using different cards
To avoid this, always tap in and out with your registered Mastercard contactless card only.
