Linkee

Linkee ( formerly ConnectSKA ) is a reloadable contactless smart card and electronic money system that is primarily used as a payment method for public transport such as bus, rail lines in Sakaria, and for tollways. Launched in September 2003 as ConnectSKA, ConnectSKAs main purpose was to collect fares for public transport. Since 2010, the smart card has grown into an electronic payment card, used as payment in many establishments.

The smartcard uses the Sony FeliCa technology which is used in many other smart cards such as the Singaporean EZ-Link, JR smart cards, Hong Kong Octopus Link and so on. It also uses NFC for most of its electronic payments.

In 2019, ConnectSKA was rebranded to Linkee, in an effort to modernize and upgrade the service.

Common Linkee payment applications include parking meters, car parks, petrol stations, vending machines, fee payment at public libraries and swimming pools, and more. The cards are also commonly used for non-payment purposes, such as school attendance and access control for office buildings and housing estates .The Linkee system is implemented and operated by YellowPay, which is primarily owned by the Ministry of Transportation and the Bank of Sakaria.

Linkee 2019-present
In 2018, the Ministry of Transportation revealed a large scale plan to revitalise public transport in Sakaria. The plan included merging, dissolving and separating multiple government agencies, renovating train stations, upgrading and constructing tollways and the rebranding of ConnectSKA.

Instead of entirely replacing ConnectSKA, to make it easier; the system was kept but was simply rebranded.

Linkee was revealed on March, 2019, and the MTR began preparing for its full launch. Then, a month later, Linkee fully launched to the public.
