Frequently asked questions
Cancel Ez-Link: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Ez-Link auto top-up and recover your stored value in singapore
Understanding Ez-Link and your cancellation options
Ez-Link is Singapore's contactless stored-value card system used by millions daily for bus, MRT, and retail transactions. You tap your card at fare gates or terminals, and the balance deducts instantly. If you have activated Auto-Top-Up (automatic reload), your card balance refills automatically when it drops below a threshold you set. You can cancel this feature at any time, and Yafee has helped thousands of consumers understand exactly how to do it.
The Ez-Link mobile app was discontinued on 8 January 2026. All functions migrated to SimplyGo, Singapore's unified transport digital service. If you wish to stop Auto-Top-Up, surrender your card, or recover stored value, this guide walks you through the legal framework, the exact steps you must follow, and what to expect at each stage.
What Ez-Link actually is and what you can cancel
Ez-Link is not a subscription service. You purchase the physical card once (typically S$10, comprising S$5 non-refundable card cost plus S$5 stored value). You own it outright, reload it at your discretion, and it carries no expiry date tied to payment obligations.
What you can cancel is Auto-Top-Up only. This is the optional recurring feature that automatically recharges your card when balance falls below your chosen threshold. Auto-Top-Up is the only element of Ez-Link requiring active cancellation, and Singapore consumer law treats this as an optional service that you must terminate in person.
The Ez-Link app itself required no subscription cancellation because it functioned as a utility tool, not a recurring payment service. Its discontinuation simply means SimplyGo now handles all card management online.
Why you might cancel Auto-Top-Up
You cancel Auto-Top-Up when you no longer commute regularly, have switched transport methods, are relocating overseas, or prefer manual top-ups to control spending. Automatic reloads can create unexpected cash flow if thresholds are set too low or if your commute pattern changes.
If you intend to surrender your Ez-Link card entirely, cancelling Auto-Top-Up first ensures any linked auto-reload balance is correctly processed and refunded to your original payment method.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
What singapore consumer law protects you
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your right to fair trading, transparent cancellation terms, and remedies for unauthorised charges. While Ez-Link itself is not classified as a subscription service, if SimplyGo processes an unauthorised Auto-Top-Up reload or refuses to cancel your recurring top-ups, you hold enforceable rights under this Act.
For stored value refunds, SimplyGo's Terms and Conditions specify that you can reclaim remaining balance by surrendering your physical card at a SimplyGo Ticket Office or Passenger Service Centre. Unlike digital subscriptions, Ez-Link does not trigger a statutory 14-day cooling-off period because the card is a stored-value product, not a recurring subscription contract. Your refund rights concern the actual cash value loaded on the card, which is refundable under specified conditions.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel Auto-Top-Up without penalty. You own the physical card and the stored value on it. SimplyGo must process your cancellation immediately upon request in person and must not apply fees or delay refunds beyond 10 working days. If they refuse or delay, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
When to escalate a cancellation dispute
If SimplyGo refuses to cancel your Auto-Top-Up, processes an unauthorised reload, or delays your refund beyond 10 working days, you have clear escalation steps. First, request written confirmation of your cancellation from the office staff. Next, contact SimplyGo customer service via their official channels and document your complaint in writing (email preferred). Keep all receipts, cancellation confirmations, and transaction screenshots as evidence.
If SimplyGo does not resolve the issue within 14 days, lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at www.case.org.sg or call 6100 0315. CASE will investigate and mediate on your behalf. In cases of persistent non-compliance, you can escalate further to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) for enforcement action.
Cancellation methods and which one applies to you
In-person cancellation at SimplyGo offices
Auto-Top-Up cancellation must be completed in person. Singapore's consumer protection framework and SimplyGo's terms require face-to-face verification to prevent fraudulent cancellations and to protect account security. You cannot cancel Auto-Top-Up online, via phone, or by email.
You must visit a SimplyGo Ticket Office or Passenger Service Centre with your Ez-Link card and a valid form of identification (NRIC, Passport, or equivalent). The staff will verify your identity, process your cancellation request, and provide written confirmation of the cancellation date and any refund due.
Why in-person verification is required
In-person verification protects you. It prevents unauthorised cancellations by third parties and ensures that SimplyGo accurately records your request with a timestamp. Consequently, you receive documented proof that you initiated the cancellation, which becomes critical if a dispute arises later.
Step-by-step procedure to cancel Auto-Top-Up
Step 1: gather your identification and card
Prepare your Ez-Link card and a valid form of identification. Acceptable forms include your NRIC (National Registration Identity Card), Passport, Foreign Identification Number (FIN), or work permit. SimplyGo staff will verify your identity against the card holder record before processing cancellation.
- Ensure your NRIC or Passport is not expired.
- Have your Ez-Link card physically present; staff cannot process cancellation remotely.
Step 2: locate and visit the correct SimplyGo office
Ez-Link auto-reload cancellations are processed at SimplyGo Ticket Offices and Passenger Service Centres, not at general transport hubs. Yafee recommends verifying the exact location and opening hours before you travel, as office availability varies.
| Location | Purpose | Address | Opening hours (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SimplyGo Ticket Office | Customer service, card issues, Auto-Top-Up cancellation | Multiple locations islandwide | Monday to Friday: 08:00-20:00; Saturday: 08:00-14:00; Sunday/Public Holiday: Closed |
| Alexandra Technopark | Primary customer service centre for cancellations and refunds | alexandra Road, Singapore | Monday to Friday: 08:00-20:00; Saturday: 08:00-14:00; Sunday/Public Holiday: Closed |
| Maxwell Road (Corporate office) | Corporate enquiries only; not for customer cancellations | Maxwell Road, Singapore | Not open to public for routine service requests |
You must visit Alexandra Technopark or an authorised SimplyGo Ticket Office to cancel Auto-Top-Up. Do not go to the Maxwell Road corporate office; it handles only corporate accounts and cannot process individual cancellations.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request at the counter
At the SimplyGo office, approach the customer service counter and inform staff that you wish to cancel your Auto-Top-Up. Provide your Ez-Link card and identification. Staff will access your card record, confirm your current Auto-Top-Up settings, and process the cancellation immediately.
- State clearly: "I want to cancel Auto-Top-Up on this card."
- Provide your card and ID without delay.
- Do not leave until you receive written confirmation of cancellation.
Step 4: obtain and retain written cancellation confirmation
Staff must provide you with written confirmation of the cancellation, including the date and time the Auto-Top-Up was terminated, your card number (last four digits), and the remaining stored value on your card. This document is your legal proof of cancellation and becomes essential if SimplyGo later processes an unauthorised Auto-Top-Up reload or if you dispute a charge.
- Request a printed receipt or cancellation letter.
- Confirm that future auto-reloads will not occur.
- Ask staff to verify on their system that the cancellation is effective immediately.
Step 5: verify cancellation within 24 hours
After leaving the office, contact SimplyGo customer service or log into the SimplyGo portal (if you have registered) to confirm that the Auto-Top-Up has been deactivated on your account. This verification step protects you against errors in staff processing.
- Call SimplyGo customer service and reference your cancellation confirmation number.
- Check your account online if you have access to SimplyGo's digital dashboard.
- Retain your confirmation document for at least 12 months.
Pricing, fees, and what you will pay
Cancellation costs
SimplyGo does not charge you a fee to cancel Auto-Top-Up. Cancellation is a consumer service right and cannot be subject to administrative charges under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. If any staff member suggests a fee, decline and escalate to management or contact CASE.
| Item | Cost | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|
| Ez-Link card (physical product) | S$5 | No (non-refundable card fee) |
| Stored value on card (balance) | Variable (S$5-S$100+) | Yes (upon card surrender) |
| Auto-Top-Up cancellation fee | S$0 | N/A (no charge) |
| Card replacement (if lost/damaged) | S$10 | No |
| Refund processing (via bank transfer) | S$0 | N/A (no charge) |
Refund timeline and how to recover stored value
When you can claim a refund
Once you cancel Auto-Top-Up, you can surrender your Ez-Link card and reclaim the remaining stored value. SimplyGo will refund the balance to your original payment method (typically the bank account or credit card you used to load value) within 10 working days. The S$5 non-refundable card fee is not returned.
How to request your refund
You can request your refund at the same time you cancel Auto-Top-Up. Inform the SimplyGo staff member that you wish to surrender your card entirely and receive a refund of the stored value. Staff will process both requests in one transaction. Alternatively, you can cancel Auto-Top-Up now and request a refund later if your circumstances change.
- Surrender your physical Ez-Link card to the staff member.
- Provide your bank account details or the payment method you wish the refund to credit.
- Obtain a refund receipt with a transaction reference number.
- Allow 10 working days for the refund to appear in your bank account.
If your refund is delayed beyond 10 working days
Contact SimplyGo immediately with your refund receipt and transaction reference number. Request written confirmation of the refund status and the expected date it will clear. If SimplyGo cannot explain the delay or if the refund does not arrive within an additional 5 working days, escalate the complaint to CASE with copies of your cancellation and refund documentation.
What happens after you cancel Auto-Top-Up
Your card continues to work for manual top-ups
Cancelling Auto-Top-Up does not deactivate your Ez-Link card. You can still use it for bus, MRT, and retail transactions. You simply revert to manual top-ups: load value when you choose, rather than waiting for automatic reloads. This flexibility is one of the advantages of cancelling if you no longer commute regularly.
Future top-up options after cancellation
After Auto-Top-Up is cancelled, you can reload your card at ticket offices, convenience stores (7-Eleven, FairPrice), or online via the SimplyGo portal if you have registered. You control when and how much you load; no funds are withdrawn without your explicit action.
Re-enabling Auto-Top-Up if you change your mind
If you cancel Auto-Top-Up now but wish to re-enable it later, you can do so in person at a SimplyGo office or, in future updates, via the SimplyGo app. There is no waiting period or penalty for reactivation. Yafee recommends documenting any re-activation request in writing for your records.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling Auto-Top-Up is straightforward, but these pitfalls can delay your process or weaken your legal position if a dispute arises later.
Mistake 1: not obtaining written confirmation
Some staff members may verbally confirm cancellation without providing a receipt. This is insufficient. Always request and retain a printed confirmation with the cancellation date, your card number, and a reference number. Without documentation, you cannot prove cancellation if SimplyGo later processes an unauthorised reload.
Mistake 2: visiting the wrong office (Maxwell road corporate office)
The Maxwell Road address is SimplyGo's corporate headquarters, not a customer service location. Staff there cannot process cancellations for individual card holders. You must visit Alexandra Technopark or an authorised SimplyGo Ticket Office. Visiting the wrong location wastes time; verify the correct address before you travel.
Mistake 3: attempting cancellation online or by phone
SimplyGo's terms and Singapore consumer law require in-person cancellation of Auto-Top-Up. You cannot cancel via email, phone, or online portal. Only face-to-face verification at an office triggers a legally binding cancellation. Do not rely on phone calls alone; always complete the transaction in person and obtain written proof.
Mistake 4: not verifying cancellation within 24 hours
Processing errors occur occasionally. If you do not verify that Auto-Top-Up is deactivated within 24 hours, you may not discover a staff error until the next automatic reload occurs. Once an unauthorised reload has been processed, recovery is slower and requires escalation. Verify immediately to catch errors early.
Mistake 5: discarding your cancellation receipt
Keep your cancellation confirmation for at least 12 months. If SimplyGo disputes your claim or a dispute arises over refund timing, this receipt is your only proof of when you cancelled. Discarding it removes your legal evidence and weakens your position in any complaint to CASE.
Comparison: cancel Auto-Top-Up vs. surrender your card
| Action | Cost | Refund | Card remains usable | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cancel Auto-Top-Up only | S$0 | None (you keep the card) | Yes | Immediate |
| Surrender card and refund value | S$0 | Yes (stored value refunded) | No (card deactivated) | Immediate + 10 working days for refund |
| Cancel Auto-Top-Up then later request refund | S$0 | Yes (optional later) | Yes (until you surrender) | Flexible |
Choose cancellation only if you still use your Ez-Link card for occasional trips. Choose surrender if you no longer commute and want to recover your cash. Cancelling Auto-Top-Up is a prerequisite for surrendering the card, so do it first regardless of your final choice.
