All Senior School students are required to have a personal card linked to the family e-wallet for payments in the canteen.
What cards can I use?
You can use one of the following card types:
Suitable | Not compatible |
NETS FlashPay (16-digit CAN) | NLCS-issued Student or Staff ID card |
NETS Motoring Cards (16-digit CAN) | Other RFID cards e.g. house or office keys |
EZLink (16-digit CAN) |
|
Victus Catering does not sell or distribute cards. You can purchase a FlashPay or EZLink card easily in many stores across Singapore:

How do I link cards to my child?
Click here to learn how to create your child's profile. You must complete the profile setup to start this process.
As the card functions as a personal ID on our system, each child should have their own card.
You can enable an option to share your wallet balance amongst all child profiles in the Wallet settings.
Click "Principal Account"
Click the Pencil ✏️ icon next to your child's name
On mobile, you may need to expand your child's profile
Click "Add Card"
Add Card Details
Input the 16-digit CAN number from the back of your EZLink/NETS FlashPay card (e.g. 1000 2000 1212 2121).
Type in a Card Alias, a nickname for the card (e.g. "Ben's Card" or "New EZLink").
Change, Edit or Remove a card
You must remove your card number if your card is lost or broken. You can also reassign cards to a different child if you wish.
Access your child's profile
Follow the steps above to reach your child's profile.
Open the menu
Click the 3 dots to expand the edit menu.
Click Disable, Edit or Delete
Disabling the card temporarily blocks it. Edit Card allows you to change card numbers. Delete Card removes the card completely.
Remember: balance topped up to your Victus e-wallet is never stored on the card itself. Victus e-wallet balance will be accessible through your family account, and will not be lost if the card is damaged or misplaced.
However, balance stored on the card itself (i.e. normal EZLink value for MRT travel) will be lost, unless you have set up the card in the EZLink app. Please refer to the EZLink website for help and guidance.
Why do I need this?
Our portal and cashless system allows us to:
Process transactions in half the time (under 2 seconds per transaction), reducing queueing and ensuring all students have a meal
Ensure that each student/user has a valid profile
Restrict children's purchasing to avoid consumption of any configured food allergies
Charge users who have lost their cards
For parents and families, the system is beneficial as:
It allows you to set a spending limit ("Allowance"), so that your child does not spend too much money at school.
It allows you to lock out items based on your child's food intolerances or allergies.
It provides a single view for all of your child(ren)'s canteen spending with detailed breakdowns, rather than the basic overview that paying directly with EZLink gives you.
Losing a card does not mean any loss of Victus meal balance (it is stored virtually in your e-wallet, not on the card).
You can use a single portal account to manage profiles for all of your children, sharing a single e-wallet amongst children who require pre-ordered food, and those who can purchase food themselves.
