Nice video and I have been living a cashless lifestyle for years when I was out stationed to China for work. There is still a number of places in Singapore who do not accept mobile payment. Hope that I’ll be able to relive that totally or 99.99% cashless lifestyle in Singapore..
Thank you! I have received much feedback about the cashless society in China which I find amazing! You are right, I find that there is more room for improvement for Singapore's cashless, especially in the scene of hawkers.
That’s in fact very true. Sort of like a first world problem. I myself had phone battery anxiety when it’s only below 50 😂. In anyway, always bring your wallet or a piece of note for backup.
@@NotATechGuy That's one of the reasons I pair a cellular smartwatch with my phone just in case it dies without having to bring a portable power bank 😅😂
Very informative vid! Just a quick q.. When I use my card in the wallet app.. do I pay with Apple Pay/my card’s balance? Also if let’s say I don’t see an Apple Pay sign but a card company sign during payment.. can I still use the card in my wallet app to pay? Ty in advance!
Hello. Thank you! It depends on the type of card you are adding to wallet app. If you add a bank card (visa/master/amex) into the wallet, you will be paying using Apply Pay, however, ultimately it will also be charged to your card. Think of Apple Pay as the middleman between you and the card provider. On the 2nd ques, yes! As long as the shop supports PayWave (visa/master/amex) payment option, you can pay using Apple Pay. Cheers!
Great video, *_QUESTION:_* For SimplyGo app I added an EzLink card via it's CAN number, the physical card has $100 of stored value yet the newly registered card in the app shows no balance. How will this work how to get the app to reflect the balance of the EzLink physical card? Thank you
Hmm. I have never tried to add an ezlink card to SimplyGo app. But if I may try to help you troubleshoot. May I know what type of ezlink card are you using? Bought from where?
Hi may i know if i have 3 ezlink cards and 1 concession card for myself, how to i edit or set thy specific card to be deducted when i tap for mrt/bus… and also does my apple watch need to hv cellular n subscribe to a telco before i can use for transport rides? Appreciate yr answer..
Hi there! Unfortunately, you can't use ezlink / concession card with iPhone/AppleWatch Apple Pay. You can only use Debit / Credit Card. If you have Debit / Credit Card added to your Apple Watch's Apple Pay, you don't need to have cellular to tap for transport rides. Hope that clarifies! Feel free to ask me more question. Cheers :)
@@NotATechGuy thk u so much for the clarifications.. 1 more question, do the transport rides deduct accordingly the same fare as we use the ez link card?

Hi! Unfortunately, there is no way to add EZ-Link card to Apple Pay now. At least not for now, I believed there are some works being done by EZ-Link to make that happen. But that's for the future.

Hi...can advise how to setup for payment at hawker centers? Because I wanted to use that but most hawkers also don't know how the set up work for customers
Hello, I think the easiest way for hawkers to onboard the cashless journey is to minimally enable PayNow or GrabPay. For PayNow, I believe all of the hawkers already have their own bank account (personal at least). The hawkers can easily generate their own PayNow QR Code via their bank's website, a simple google search will do. For GrabPay, I have never onboard it, but I guess it won't be hard. Just simply go to GrabPay Merchant website to register: www.grab.com/sg/merchant/pay/
Hi, yes you will still need to tap out for bus ride when using Apple Pay, else you will be charged the maximum distance fare. Basically the fare calculation works the same as normal EZ Link card.
Hello. To clarify, what did you mean by no need authentication and can’t find your way? No worry, happy to guide and help :) By right, once you have setup your Apple Pay, you can just activate it by Face/Touch ID/Passcode, then tap your phone onto the MRT/Bus gantry.
@@NotATechGuy thx first for ur reply. The transit card set in apple wallet says "POSB everyday card will work automatically without authentication, to pay for public transport."" But actually always required Face ID.
Oh! I think you are referring to the Express Travel Card. Unfortunately that feature is not supported by SG’s public transport system yet. So you will still need to activate Apple Pay using your Face ID/Passcode prior to scanning at the MRT gantry. If I’m not mistaken, the Express Travel Card is currently supported in Japan (Suica card).
Hi, unfortunately I don’t think the ez link app could be used to tap in/out for bus/MRT. You can only use the app the manage the balance of your ez link card.
Cash and some physical card still need. Can see what happen if lost the phone or phone breakdown and you are handicap. Best to have mixture of the tranditional things besides purely depend on the phone.
Hello from Prague :-) May I ask you? Can i use apple pay with any debet/credit card? For example REVOLUT? And what is cheaper? EZ-link or apple pay? Thank you very much for reply! :-)
Hello :) Yes you can use REVOLUT with Apple Pay as mentioned in their website: www.revolut.com/use-apple-pay-with-revolut However, to answer specifically to your question. No, you can't use Apple Pay with ANY debit/credit card. It depends on the card provider. As far as I know, I am aware that both Singtel Dash and Revolut do support Apple Pay. Unless you have a student concession EZ-Link card, there is no difference in pricing for EZ-Link or Apply Pay. Cheers! :)
It doesn’t matter. There is no advantage / disadvantage of linking debit/credit to Apple Pay. Personally, I have both debit and credit in Apple Pay, but I use debit card Apple Pay for public transport. Just personal preference.
If you're paying by NETS, most places the NETS terminal should now also have the dynamic QR code to scan with your bank's respective mobile app too. Tried and tested at Mr Coconut and Red Lips Mala! Hahahah
Great tip! I actually didn't know that. That is another way to not take out my wallet to pay. This might solve my frustration with some of the Mr Bean stalls! Usually they only accept NETS! not even GrabPay. How does it work actually? Is it using the scan function (PayNow) from the bank's app?

Yup you are right! For Apple Pay, as long as you have an iPhone 6 and above, you can use it. For Google Pay, most of the big brand and mid to flagship tier android phone should have NFC to support it.
Hi there, may I know what phone are you using? iPhone or Android? If you are using iPhone, just simply open up the Wallet app and click the + icon on top right corner, then you can follow the on screen instruction to add your debit/credit card
Hello, there is absolutely no extra charges at all for whatever that I have used in the video. You pay the exact same fee as compared to using EZ Link.
@@NotATechGuy , I might be wrong but when you use an EZ link card on buses you will not be charged for boarding charges if you transfers to another bus or train within the given time frame. When using phone to pay, the fares will be charged as a new ride with a fresh boarding charge. This would mean that you are paying more if there a need for a transfer ride. This is what I understand.
@@2011Antidote hi there, actually it works the same if you are using phone to pay because the system recognises your unique “card id”, it will know that you are transferring ride. Yea, in short, no extra charges if you are transferring between ride when using Google pay/apply pay/cards
@@2011Antidote yup. Guaranteed! I’m still using phone to pay till today. When u tap via phone. It won’t charge to your card immediately. It will only perform the final fare calculation at the end of the day and usually you will see your card being charge at midnight/Next morning
Hi bro, i think there is new update feature under apple pay which is “express transit card”. You can select which card to be the express transit card. But i still dont know if we have to open the wallet apps to tap on mrt/bus? If it does not require to open the wallet apps, it will be fantastic. Have you try this feature?
hey there, as far as i know, the "Express Travel Card" feature is currently not supported by Singapore Transit System yet.

That would make our tap in/tap out into a more breezy experience :D
@@NotATechGuy thanks for reply. Me too. Really hope our lta implement this into their system. Even my Samsung phone can do that. Thanks anyway. Cheers 👍🏻
Hi Andy, I think there are 5 cities (Chicago, LA, New York, Portland, Washington DC) in the US that you can use Apple Pay/Google Pay to pay for transit. Check it out at Apple's website: support.apple.com/en-sg/HT207958 Cheers to that!
Hello, are you referring to how to setup Apple Pay on your iPhone? 1) Have your credit/debit card by your side 2) On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay 3) Tap "Add Card" 4) Follow the on screen instructions/steps, it will involve adding your card number 5) You will receive SMS OTP for verification while adding the card 6) After you have added your card to Apple Pay. You can activate it through double click on Power Button (Face ID) or Home Button (Touch ID).
That would be very frustrating 😂. Remember to always have a backup, I always have my physical ezlink and debit card in my wallet for such incidents. And also ensure your phone is protected with lock security so that others won’t be able to use your apple/google pay if they found your phone. Cheers 😁
Let's be realistic. Assume that I want to get food from hawker store (any), so I will still need to carry some hard cash. I'm more concerned with the bus and MRT. Can they all accept mobile payment?
Hello Alex, yes I totally agree. The limitation now is that not all hawker accept cashless payment. That’s something government need to push harder. We can just hope for now. But I am seeing many hawker getting onboard the PayNow trend now, which is a good sign. Bus and MRT wise, yes, all bus and MRT accept mobile payment such as Google Pay or Apple Pay. Even credit card (as long as they are VISA or MASTERCARD)
Hi there, understand that there might cons of going cashless. But do you mind elaborate about it so it benefits whoever is reading this? At least they can make their own decision of whether to go cashless or not. Cheers 😃

5) You will receive SMS OTP for verification while adding the card
6) After you have added your card to Apple Pay. You can activate it through double click on Power Button (Face ID) or Home Button (Touch ID).
I wonder what happens when you lose your phone somehow. 🤣🤷♂️🧐
That would be very frustrating 😂. Remember to always have a backup, I always have my physical ezlink and debit card in my wallet for such incidents.
And also ensure your phone is protected with lock security so that others won’t be able to use your apple/google pay if they found your phone. Cheers 😁
Hi bro good information 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey bro, you are most welcome 😁! Thanks for watching!
Let's be realistic. Assume that I want to get food from hawker store (any), so I will still need to carry some hard cash.
I'm more concerned with the bus and MRT. Can they all accept mobile payment?
Hello Alex, yes I totally agree. The limitation now is that not all hawker accept cashless payment. That’s something government need to push harder. We can just hope for now. But I am seeing many hawker getting onboard the PayNow trend now, which is a good sign.
Bus and MRT wise, yes, all bus and MRT accept mobile payment such as Google Pay or Apple Pay. Even credit card (as long as they are VISA or MASTERCARD)
Only allow Apple phones payment by machine
Actually not necessarily, if the machine supports payment by Apple phones, it will definitely support payment from Google phones (Google Pay) as well.

No to #CashlessSociety 🚫 ⚠
Hi there, understand that there might cons of going cashless. But do you mind elaborate about it so it benefits whoever is reading this? At least they can make their own decision of whether to go cashless or not. Cheers 😃
Some ppl just love to use cash
Like me I think hawker is easier to use cash
时空错乱的感觉🤣
怎么会有时空错乱的感觉呢？🤔 😂
@@NotATechGuy 因为很久以前中国很多这样的视频，现在看到新发布的视频就有点这样的错觉🤪不过全世界都在走向无现金社会确实是一件大好事！
@@BSKtheWORLD 啊！原来如此。我其实不知道中国很久以前已经有这种视频了。那些视频都是在介绍微信吗？在中国微信因该是超发达的吧？什么都可以做吧？
对！我绝对赞成无现金社会😂。超方便的，不过要会控制啦。也要会保障自己。
@@NotATechGuy 也没有，主要是当时Apple Pay刚刚获得运营资格，然后很多用户去拍线下实地测试视频，然后跟普及程度比较高的支付宝微信做对比，就跟你的这则影片内容就比较像，但是到了现在Apple Pay在中国主要都是拿来搭公交，其他的消费大家确实还是更愿意用支付宝跟微信，只要足够方便大家是很愿意接受无现金社会的😁😁而且支付宝跟微信都有盗刷保险，其实也很安全
哦！为什么微信不能塔公交？我以为微信真的是在中国万能的 😂。
