CEPAS reflection

In context to the presentation held on Tuesday regarding the EZ-links and nets e–payments, I believe that the CEPAS implementation was a smart step taken for the welfare of the people of Singapore. Looking prior to 2009, when Singapore was dominated by two major card issuers with non–interoperable cards: LTA and NETS, created consumer inconvenience. However, CEPAS focused more towards an open situation i.e. a thought of having one card across all systems. I believe that on enabling this synergy between applications will minimize resource duplication. The idea of allowing both companies to operate independently and all they have to do is to adhere to the CEPAS standard seems to bring out the best from the individual strategy. Using a third party governance seems to fit the idea as it will eliminate biases and create equitable payment system. Finally, with a proper backend system which ensures accurate transmission, encouraging consumer and business adoption by offering easy access, incentives and marketing will end up getting a successful CEPAS system.
