It’s 2026 and you can’t top up the card with a credit card. It throws and error code and asks you to call the hotline. The hotline said they’d call my WhatsApp but it only works for locals. Zero cs for tourists. They just want you to top it off with cash, but that makes this app useless. They have the facilities for credit cards but haven’t been making it work for some reason.

Forces you to pay in foreign currency and charges a 6% (!!!!) FX fee. Just use credit card instead, it’s accepted most places that take octopus card.

It really works. Very few apps actually work, at all, in 2026, so I am pleasantly surprised that I was able to easily set up my card with Apple Pay
