Where to Buy CashCard in Singapore: 7-Eleven, Online & More

Cost of a new NETS CashCard: $10 (includes $5 stored value) ·
Number of retail outlets: Over 500 locations including 7‑Eleven, Cheers, and petrol stations ·
Validity period: 5 years from date of purchase

Five key specs define the NETS CashCard – here’s the pattern: a single‑use card with a fixed fee and stored value, sold through a wide retail network.

Where can I purchase a CashCard?

7‑Eleven and Cheers outlets

• NETS lists convenience stores including 7‑Eleven as purchase points for the CashCard ecosystem (NETS official motoring card page).
• GetGo confirms that the NETS Motoring Card (successor to CashCard) is available at 7‑Eleven, Cheers, Buzz Pods, and FairPrice Xpress (GetGo Singapore – car‑sharing resource).
• Most 7‑Eleven outlets operate 24 hours, making them the go‑to for late‑night card purchases.

Petrol stations like Shell, Caltex, Esso

• Shell, Caltex, Esso, and SPC typically stock NETS CashCards (GetGo Singapore – car‑sharing resource).
• But stock is not guaranteed – “some stores may run out of cards faster than others” (NETS official motoring card page).

NETS customer service centers

• Head office at 351 Braddell Road #01-03 Singapore 579713, open Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 5.30 pm (NETS official motoring card page).
• This is the most reliable fallback if nearby outlets are out of stock.

Online platforms like Shopee and Lazada

• CashCards and NETS Motoring Cards are sold on Shopee and Lazada (GetGo Singapore – car‑sharing resource).
• Delivery takes a few days; fees vary by seller.

The pattern: convenience and petrol stations offer wide coverage, but reliability dips when stock runs out. The NETS Customer Service Centre remains the most dependable source – especially for chip cards.

Can I buy cashcards at a petrol station?

Which petrol stations sell CashCards?

• Shell, Caltex, Esso, and SPC are confirmed distributors (GetGo Singapore – car‑sharing resource).
• NETS also lists “all petrol stations” as purchase points (NETS official motoring card page).

Are there any restrictions?

• “Card distribution can be affected by internal distributor processes” (Motorist Singapore – automotive community).
• If a station is out of stock, NETS advises trying another station or visiting the Customer Service Centre (NETS official motoring card page).

The implication: petrol stations cover motorists where they already stop, but lack universal stock – always have a backup plan.

Can I get a cash card online?

Official NETS online store

• NETS FlashPay online store sells CashCard‑compatible products (NETS official motoring card page).

Shopee and Lazada listings

• Third‑party sellers offer NETS CashCards and Motoring Cards on Shopee and Lazada (GetGo Singapore – car‑sharing resource).
• Prices may be slightly above retail; check seller ratings.

Pros and cons of buying online

• Pro: delivered to your door, convenient for bulk orders.
• Con: delivery time (2–5 days) and possible higher price.

The trade‑off: online shopping saves a trip but adds wait time – best for planned purchases, not emergencies.

How much does a CashCard cost?

Breakdown of cost: card fee and stored value

• Price: $10 per card – composed of a $5 card cost and $5 stored value (NETS official motoring card page).
• No additional deposit required.

Is there a deposit?

• No deposit – the card is a one‑time purchase.

What this means: the effective cost of the card is $5 after using the $5 stored value. For occasional ERP or carpark users, that’s roughly the price of two ERP passes.

How to pay carpark without CashCard?

Using EZ‑Link motoring card

• The EZ-Link motoring card works at all CEPAS‑enabled carparks and ERP gantries (GetGo Singapore – car‑sharing resource).

Using NETS Motoring Card

• The NETS Motoring Card is the direct successor to the CashCard and is accepted at the same terminals (NETS official motoring card page).

Using credit/debit cards with CEPAS function

• Some newer carparks accept contactless credit cards, but most still require a stored‑value motoring card.

The pattern: the CashCard ecosystem is being replaced by reloadable alternatives. For now, the cheapest and simplest way to pay is still a CashCard – but if you drive regularly, look at the Motoring Card for top‑up convenience.

Step‑by‑step: How to buy a CashCard

1. Choose your channel – convenience store (24/7), petrol station (daytime), NETS service centre (weekdays), or online.
2. Pay $10 – cash, Nets, or credit card accepted at most outlets.
3. Check the stored value – the card comes with $5 loaded; no activation needed.
4. Test at a terminal – if you get an error, the card may have a defective chip. Return to the store with receipt.

Following these steps ensures a smooth purchase. Always test the card before leaving the store.

What’s confirmed and what’s uncertain

The confirmed facts are well-sourced, but the uncertainties underline the importance of checking availability.

What the official channels and experts say

“The NETS Motoring Card will replace the current CashCard.”

– NETS, official motoring card page (NETS – official motoring card page)

“If the petrol station is out of stock, NETS recommends visiting another station or picking up a card at the NETS Customer Service Centre.”

– Motorist Singapore, quoting NETS (Motorist Singapore – automotive community)

These statements from NETS and Motorist Singapore provide authoritative guidance.

Summary: What to do next

The NETS CashCard is still widely available, but the network is shifting. For the occasional ERP or carpark visit, a $10 CashCard from any 7‑Eleven is the cheapest, fastest option. For regular motorists – especially those with an older IU – the smarter move is to buy a chip‑enabled card from the NETS Customer Service Centre or switch to a reloadable Motoring Card. For Singapore drivers, the choice is clear: stock up now while CashCards are still in supply, or prepare for the Motoring Card transition.

For drivers who prefer an alternative to the CashCard, our EZ-Link Motoring Card guide explains how to get, top up, and compare the two options.
