Electronic payment system provider EZ-Link said yesterday that it detected suspicious overseas transactions made on EZ-Link Fevo Mastercard cards, but assured users that there was no data breach.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, the firm said: "We would like to assure EZ-Link Cepas cardholders that the unauthorised transactions apply to EZ-Link's Fevo Mastercard cards, and do not apply to all local EZ-Link Cepas cards used in Singapore for transit."
