Yes, in 2026, EZ-Link cards can be refunded, but the process and amount depend on the card's status. If you have an active or recently expired card, you can visit any SimplyGo Ticket Office (formerly TransitLink) at MRT stations or bus interchanges in Singapore to get an immediate refund of the remaining stored value. However, the $5 non-refundable card cost (the price you paid for the physical card itself) is never returned. For cards that have been expired for more than two years, a monthly service fee of $1 is deducted from the remaining balance until the value is either refunded or depleted. If you are using the newer SimplyGo EZ-Link (account-based) system, you can even initiate a refund through the SimplyGo app, and the balance will be credited back to your bank account or digital wallet within a few working days. It is important to note that "Special Edition" or "Collectible" cards often have different terms, but the standard commuter cards remain highly flexible regarding balance recovery.
