To pay for a transaction, cardholders will hover over the kiosk's terminal which displays the total amount to be paid. Once completed, the terminal will display a green check mark.

The beep card is mostly used to store credits commuters can use to pay for train and bus fares. Back in 2016, the card could be used for cashless transactions at convenience stores.
