1. What is the Vivid Card?
A flexible alternative to cash or bank cards, the Vivid Card can be used to make purchases, pay bills or shop online that same way as you would with a credit or debit card. Jointly issued by Singapura Finance and MatchMove Pay, you get to enjoy the power of Mastercard with the security of prepraid.
2. How is the Vivid Card different from a credit card?
A credit card allows you to purchase first and pay later but you also risk having to pay high interest and late payment fees. The Vivid Card is a preloaded card which helps prevent overspending. There are no annual fees or interest charges.
3. 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 unused portion of your credit limit or the full amount in the savings account in the case of a debit card.
With the Vivid Card, the cardholder can further limit his loss further by unloading the unused money from the card back to the 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.
The Vivid Card also comes with a dynamic CVC for online purchases. Dynamic CVCs prevent fraudsters from making recurring payments as the number changes at regular intervals. This means that if the card is lost or your online shopping account is hacked, the fraudster will not be able to use the card.
4. Why should I apply for the Vivid Prepaid Mastercard instead of any other prepaid card?
Unlike a standalone prepaid card, the Vivid Card is linked to the Vivid Savings Account so you have the advantage of earning interest on your funds while enjoying the convenience of transferring money to and from your card with no additional fees.
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 it will become unusable without a static CVC.
5. 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 the creation of the Vivid e-Wallet account.
6. Can I apply for a Vivid Card without opening a Vivid Savings Account?
No, the Vivid card is linked to the Vivid Savings Account and cannot be applied for separately.
7. 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 a high savings interest rate at the same time.
8. I have received my Vivid Card. How do I activate it?

A flexible alternative to cash or bank cards, the Vivid Card can be used to make purchases, pay bills or shop online that same way as you would with a credit or debit card. Jointly issued by Singapura Finance and MatchMove Pay, you get to enjoy the power of Mastercard with the security of prepraid.
2. How is the Vivid Card different from a credit card?
A credit card allows you to purchase first and pay later but you also risk having to pay high interest and late payment fees. The Vivid Card is a preloaded card which helps prevent overspending. There are no annual fees or interest charges.
3. 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 unused portion of your credit limit or the full amount in the savings account in the case of a debit card.
With the Vivid Card, the cardholder can further limit his loss further by unloading the unused money from the card back to the 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.
The Vivid Card also comes with a dynamic CVC for online purchases. Dynamic CVCs prevent fraudsters from making recurring payments as the number changes at regular intervals. This means that if the card is lost or your online shopping account is hacked, the fraudster will not be able to use the card.
4. Why should I apply for the Vivid Prepaid Mastercard instead of any other prepaid card?
Unlike a standalone prepaid card, the Vivid Card is linked to the Vivid Savings Account so you have the advantage of earning interest on your funds while enjoying the convenience of transferring money to and from your card with no additional fees.
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 it will become unusable without a static CVC.
5. 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 the creation of the Vivid e-Wallet account.
