How to transfer money from one ezlink card to another

Directly transferring funds between two active EZ-Link cards via an app is currently not possible. To move a balance, you must visit a TransitLink Ticket Office to process a refund and top up your new card. While local transit card flexibility is limited, managing your global finances is seamless with Panda Remit. We offer MAS-regulated security for peace of mind and lightning-fast transfers that can arrive in as little as 2 minutes.
The Official Process: Moving Your EZ-Link Balance
Since peer-to-peer card transfer is not supported digitally, you must follow the physical refund-and-replace protocol established by TransitLink. Here is the 3-step guide to solving this issue:
1. Locate a TransitLink Ticket Office
You cannot perform this action at a standard General Ticketing Machine (GTM). You must visit a staffed TransitLink Ticket Office located at most MRT stations and bus interchanges in Singapore.
2. Request a Refund or Deferred Transfer
Present both cards to the officer. If your old card has expired, they can perform a Deferred Refund to transfer the remaining value to your new card. If the card is active but you wish to stop using it, you will likely receive a refund in cash or to your bank account, which you can then use to top up the second card.
3. Top Up Your New Card
Once the funds are retrieved from the first card, use the cash or bank transfer to top up your second EZ-Link card immediately at the counter or via the SimplyGo app.
Beyond Transit: Optimizing Your Cross-Border Finances
While moving money between EZ-Link cards requires physical queues, sending money from Singapore to the rest of the world should be digital, instant, and low-cost. For expatriates and global citizens in Singapore, Panda Remit provides a superior alternative to traditional banks.
