What is the Vivid Card?
The Vivid Card is a fully functional prepaid card jointly issued by Singapura Finance and MatchMove Pay Pte Ltd under the Mastercard brand name. It can be used at any Mastercard Point-of-Sale worldwide and online shopping as a payment option.


How is the Vivid Card different from a credit card?
A credit card is a payment card that is issued by a bank (the card issuer). The card issuer will grant a revolving line of credit to the cardholder. The cardholder can utilise up to the full extent of the revolving line of credit. The cardholder will have to pay the amount used and interest at specific interval as stipulated under the card agreement.

The Vivid Card is a payment card issued by Singapura Finance and MatchMove Pay Pte Ltd. The cardholder can load/top up the card with any amount of money from his Vivid Savings Account and use the card for payment options. The money used is deducted from the amount loaded and there is no need for the cardholder to “repay” the money or interest.


What is the advantage of having a Vivid Card as compared to a credit card/debit card?
The main advantage of a prepaid card is that in the event that a prepaid card is stolen or the account hacked into, the amount of loss is limited to the amount remaining on the card unlike in the case of a credit card where the loss can be up to the full amount of the credit limit un-utilised or the full amount in the savings account in the case of a debit card.

For the Vivid Card, the cardholder can limit his loss further by unloading the money in the Vivid Card to the Vivid e-Wallet.

There is no minimum income requirement to apply for a Vivid Card unlike a credit card where current legislation requires the cardholder to have a minimum annual income of $30,000.00 to qualify for a credit card.

The Vivid Card also comes with a dynamic CVC for online purchases. This means if the card is lost or your online shopping account is hacked, the fraudster will not be able to use the card since there is no CVC.


Why should I apply for the Vivid Prepaid Mastercard instead of any other prepaid card?
Unlike any standalone prepaid card, the Vivid Card is linked to your Vivid Savings Account through the Vivid e-Wallet and you can easily transfer funds to and fro and earn interest on the balance in the Vivid Savings account.

The Vivid Card also comes with a dynamic CVC for online purchases. This means if the card is lost or your online shopping account is hacked, the fraudster will not be able to use the card since there is no CVC.


How can I get my Vivid Card?
The Vivid Card comes with the Vivid Savings Account and will be mailed to your registered address with Singapura Finance within 7-14 days after creation of the Vivid e-Wallet account.


Can I apply for a Vivid Card without opening a Vivid Savings Account?
No you can’t. The Vivid Card is a by-product of the Vivid Savings Account and cannot be applied for separately.


I am a retiree/unemployed. Can I apply for the Vivid Card?
Yes you may as long as you open a Vivid Savings Account. In fact the Vivid Savings Account is particularly suitable for retiree and senior citizens who no longer qualify for a credit card but wish to enjoy the conveniences of a credit card and enjoy high interest at the same time.


I have received my Vivid Card. How do I activate it?
You are required to log in to your account using the mobile number and email registered with Singapura Finance to use the Mobile Application. Enter your 12 digit card kit number provided in the welcome kit to activate your new Vivid Card.

Can I use the Vivid Card for travelling on bus/mrt?

Why is there an earmarked amount on my card?
A pre-authorisation fee of $0.10 will be initiated after a posting of payment is made to the card used at the point of boarding. The pre-authorised amount is performed to ensure that your card is valid and reflected as the earmarked amount on your card. This will be displayed as paid to “BUS/MRT SINGAPORE SGP”.


How will my transit fares be charged?
The fares will be accumulated to Vivid Card for up to 5 days, or after every 21 transactions or after a total of $15.00 is spent, whichever is earlier. The accumulated amount will be posted as “BUS/MRT SINGAPORE SGP” transactions. LTA may post $0.10 whenever you use your card for travel for validating the card. All these operations are subjected to changes by SMRT/LTA. You may wish to download the LTA app SimplyGo to monitor your transactions.


Can I use the Vivid Card for online purchase?
Yes you can. The Vivid Card is accepted on all sites that accepts Mastercard payment.


I keyed in the CVC “888” on the back of the card for my online purchase and the purchase was rejected. Why is this so?
The CVC “888” is not the actual CVC. For your protection against fraud, the Vivid Card has a dynamic CVC. For online purchase, you just need to press the “Generate CVC” on the Vivid e-Wallet app to generate a new CVC for each purchase.


Can I add the Vivid Card to other online merchants’ e-Wallet like Grabpay Wallet, Lazada Wallet?
Generally you should be able to add the Vivid Card to most online merchants’ payment e-wallet. When adding the details of the Vivid Card, you will have to request for the CVC by pressing the “Generate CVC” on the Vivid e-Wallet app to add your card to the e-wallet of other online merchants.
