EZ-Link gives commuters more time to exchange their ez-link cards expiring in 2014 and opens up giveaway to holders of cards expiring between 1 January and 31 March 2015.

SINGAPORE, 11 December 2014 – EZ-Link Pte Ltd, Singapore’s largest issuer of CEPAS-compliant cards, has announced they will give commuters more time to exchange their expiring ez-link cards, and will extend the ‘Journey with EZ-Link’ giveaway campaign from 31 December 2014 to 31 March 2015. With this extension, holders of cards expiring on 31 December 2014, many whom may be travelling during the year-end holiday season, will have more time to get their cards; while a new batch of Adult Anonymous ez-link cardholders – those whose cards are expiring between 1 January and 31 March 2015 – will also be entitled to free ez-link cards.

EZ-Link has set aside more than a million cards for the entire giveaway campaign, including the extended period. Launched on 4 July 2014, the ‘Journey with EZ-Link’ giveaway campaign aims to thank ez-link cardholders for making EZ-Link part of their journey.
