ETYMOLOGY
  • In 1985, Singapore started moving towards the goal of becoming a cashless society.
  • In 1996, after five years of research and development, Network for Electronic Transfers (Singapore) Pte Ltd (NETS) launched the CashCard, which could be used to make payments through an electronic payment system.
  • In 2009, NETS launched NETS FlashPay, which the public could use to pay for public transport and electronic toll fees, and for purchases made in hawker centres, food courts, supermarkets and convenience stores.
  • In 2018, NETS launched the contactless CashCard, which provided users with various benefits such as the accumulation of reward points and complimentary CashCard insurance.
