Whether you prefer digital wallets, neighbourhood shops, or banking portals — here's every method explained clearly so you can reload without hassle.

App Top-Up

Reload your SIM instantly using your carrier's official mobile app — fast, secure, and available 24/7 from anywhere in Singapore.

AXS Kiosk

Use any of Singapore's 700+ AXS kiosks at MRT stations, malls, and community centres to top up your prepaid balance with cash or card.

7-Eleven / Cheers

Walk into any 7-Eleven or Cheers outlet islandwide and pick up a prepaid top-up card or have the cashier reload your number over the counter.

Online Banking Transfer

Log in to your DBS, OCBC, UOB, or POSB internet banking portal and transfer credit directly to your prepaid mobile account in seconds.

USSD Code

Dial a short USSD code directly from your phone's dial pad to check your balance, transfer credit, or trigger an auto top-up — no internet needed.

E-Wallet / GrabPay

Link your GrabPay, PayLah!, or Singtel Dash e-wallet to reload mobile credit instantly — ideal for cashless, on-the-go top-ups with no card needed.
