The Minimum Purse Value (MPV) is the required minimum balance that your card must have before you board public buses and trains. The MPV is set at $3, which is the minimum amount required for a single transit fare.
Please be sure that your card has at least $3 (Minimum Purse Value) when taking public buses and trains. Otherwise, your card will be blocked from further use for public transport. To unblock the card for use in public transport, please top up the card above the Minimum Purse Value of $3 and tap your card on any transit gantry to initiate the unblocking. Do note that it will take 15 minutes for the unblocking to be complete. Please refer to the NETS App to obtain the status of your card.
Please top up your card immediately with the NETS App to at least above the Minimum Purse Value of $3, then tap your card on the MRT fare gate/card reader on buses to initiate unblocking. Thereafter, you may need to wait 15 minutes for the unblock status of your card to be propagated throughout the public transport network. Please refer to the NETS App to obtain the status of your card.
The blacklist for payments at transit is located in the public transit gantry system. In order to remove the “Bus/MRT Blocked” status of the card, the following two conditions are necessary:
- Maintain a minimum balance of $3 in the card.
- Card status refresh that can be done only in either one of the 2 following ways:
- Tap your card on any transit gantry to initiate card status refresh.
- Periodic refresh of the card status initiated only by the transit Authorities.
Cards with $15 or less in balance will incur a $3.50 reserved charge from the first tap of the day at any public transport fare gantry. This $3.50 charge will be released back to your card balance within 1-2 days. We encourage NETS Prepaid Card users to always maintain a card balance of more than $15 to prevent future reserved charge deduction. As card balance is not shown upon entry or exit at fare gantries, we encourage users to link their NETS Prepaid Card to NETS App to receive alerts of their card balance and card transactions.
You will not incur any reserved amount for retail payments even if your card balance is less than $15.
- Actual fare for the trip taken on 28 May 2024 is debited after 3 to 4 days.
- Estimated fare debited for the trip taken on 28 May 2024 is refunded back to card balance.
- Estimated fare from the day before is debited from the card balance.
- Amount reserved on 30 May 2024 is released within 1-2 days.
Note: The reservation transaction of $3.50 may occasionally appear later.
No, NETS will hold the amount temporarily and release the full $3.50 reserved amount back to your card balance within 3 to 5 days.
The key is to ensure your card has more than $15 in balance or stored value before making any bus or MRT trips. You can set up Auto Top-up with NETS App to top up your card automatically when the balance falls below $20, this way your card balance will always be more than $15.
Daily, as long as your card balance is $15 or less and if you intend to use it for public transport. When you take the first bus or MRT trip of the day, this will trigger the $3.50 Bus/MRT Reserved charge. You may even incur a second $3.50 reserved charge if your bus or MRT usage for the day exceeds $15.
We recommend all NETS Prepaid Card users to maintain a minimum card balance of more than $15 to prevent reserved amount charging when using card for public transport.
For the ultimate convenience, opt in for Auto Top-up so that your card will top up automatically when it reaches a low balance of your choice ($10, $20 or $50 up to a maximum of $100).
Alternatively, top up on-the-go by saving your NETS Bank Card, credit/debit card details on NETS App.
For a one-off top-up without registration, you may top up the card anonymously on the NETS App or at https://prepaid.nets.com.sg/top-up.

More top-up options will be available over time. Please visit our NETS Prepaid Card page for the latest information on top-up locations and options.
Presently, only NETS Bank Cards, Visa/Mastercard/Amex credit and debit cards (both local and foreign issued cards) are supported as top-up funding sources.

The pre-authorised amount will be automatically released to you by your bank between 2 to 4 weeks.
No additional registration or deregistration is required to enable or to disable Auto Top-up.
