From what I heard the card machines at the MRT stations only accept local cards and not foreign cards for payment and this was my experience the last time I was there in November. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

The final charges will post in a week or 10 days. It's cheaper to use MC as fees are netted everyday vs. Visa which I believe you pay for every transaction

Took the better part of a week from the last use for a single charge to show (with a transaction date of the first use). I don't know if I'll get another charge because it seems pretty low considering all the rides I took.
I think Visa nets daily and hence has a daily charge of 50c, mastercard nets every 5 days or $15 and has one charge. MRT is quite cheap in SG |

Will foreign issued contactless bankcards be accepted for use in public transport in Singapore? Are there extra charges to use foreign bank cards? Foreign-issued Mastercard or Visa contactless bank cards are accepted for payments on our public transport network. Cardholders may contact their card issuers for more information should their contactless bank card be rejected in transit. An administrative fee of $0.60 will be applicable per day of use for fare payment. |

Requirement of local cards applies only to top up of transit cards (Nets FlashPay and EZlink) via GTM machines at train stations.

I remember being able to top up an EZlink card at a ticket machine at one of the MRT stations using CSR around 2018-2019, but I tried again recently and it did not work.

Can one use a foreign card to top up at a staffed ticket office in one of the stations instead?

Correct. This ability has been disabled since Jan 2022.
No. It is countrywide policy and will not change. |
