Waive Giro auto top-up fee
Letter from Mr John Yap
I REFER to the letter “EZ-Link aim: Faster Giro application” (my paper, Sept 11).
The letter touched on the reason for charging a convenience fee for using the auto top-up facility.
I find the convenience fee a misnomer. Instead of providing a convenient service for ez-link card holders to top up card value using Giro, there is one more item charged to our Giro-linked bank-account statements.
It seems that EZ-Link is the only service provider charging a fee for Giro payments. If other service providers and merchants start charging a similar fee as well, it defeats the purpose of using Giro as a convenient payment service.
Why not waive this fee for those using the Giro auto top-up service?
