A prepaid card looks like a credit or debit card, and gives users the ability to purchase products and services with a card but with a crucial difference - you can only spend the balance that has been preloaded onto the card. This means there is no risk of running into debt as it has no credit or overdraft facility.
The most common use of prepaid card in Malaysia is Touch ’n Go. Touch ‘n Go card is an electronic purse that can be used at all highways in Malaysia, major public transports in Klang Valley, selected parking sites. Touch ‘n Go enhances the speed of paying for low value but high frequency transactions. Apart from the speed, it is also very convenient because user no longer need to prepare for small change or wait in queue at the cash lane to complete the transaction.
In Singapore, ez-link card is used commonly. The ez-link card is a thin, compact
card conforming to ISO/IEC 7816 card dimensions. A tamper-proof IC chip and antenna are built into the card. The sensing distance between the card and the reader is up to 10cm. The card itself contains no battery but operates from electromagnetic energy received from the reader.
Both the card and the reader ensure secure, fast and reliable transmission of data between them. The strong encryption techniques prevent eavesdropping and fraudulent use. This helps to ensure the integrity of transaction information captured.
Compared to touch ’n go in Malaysia, ez-link card is more convenient. It is used in many sectors:
1) Food & Beverage such as McDonald's Restaurants, Chills Café, Sakae Sushi (NTU), Old Chang Kee (NTU) and F&N Coca Cola Vending Machines and etc.
