Our verdict

GrabPay is a prepaid Mastercard card with no monthly fee, SGD 0, and free ATM withdrawals of SGD 0, so it suits people who mostly want everyday spending without a standing charge. Its currency conversion fee of 2% makes it a weaker fit for travel spending.

Frequently asked questions

Does GrabPay charge a monthly fee?+

No. The monthly fee is SGD 0, so a prepaid GrabPay card carries no standing charge. Among the brands ranked on monthly fee it sits at 1 of 419, the top of that measure.

What do ATM withdrawals cost?+

Free ATM withdrawals are SGD 0, and a free withdrawal allowance of SGD 0 is the figure most readers check first for cash machine use. On this measure GrabPay ranks at 41 of 115 brands.

How much does it cost to spend in another currency?+

The currency conversion fee is 2%. That is the main cost to weigh for travel or foreign purchases, and GrabPay places at 160 of 259 brands on this measure, so it is not a natural pick for holiday spending.

What kind of card is GrabPay?+

It is a prepaid card, so there is no credit line and no interest to repay on spending. That shape suits people who want a card purely for everyday payments and would rather not carry a balance.

Which network does the card use?+

GrabPay runs on the Mastercard network, which means it can be used at merchants that accept Mastercard. Card type is prepaid rather than a credit card, so it is funded from money you already hold.

How do I get help from GrabPay?+

Help comes through help centre, which is the only support channel listed for the brand. Anyone who needs to speak to someone about a payment should check what the account offers before relying on it.

Is GrabPay a good fit for everyday spending?+

It suits spending in a single market, since the monthly fee is SGD 0 and cash machine use costs SGD 0. The tradeoff is foreign spending, where the currency conversion fee of 2% applies.
