Can I not key my NETS ATM PIN?
Good ol’ NETS. What immediately comes to mind when we think about NETS is keying your ATM PIN, Singapore’s very own payment mode which we grew up with and is still an essential part of our lives today. NETS and PIN (aka NETS Pin) has become synonymous with what the brand has to offer – we see it in use everywhere we go, from supermarkets to prata shops and departmental stores.

Today we’ll be talking about NETS Contactless ATM card, which makes retail purchases a breeze during checkout.
What is NETS Contactless ATM card?
