About Caltex
Caltex is a well-known petroleum brand and chain of fuel service stations operating across Singapore and many other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In Singapore, Caltex stations typically offer petrol and diesel fuels, car care products, lubricants, and convenience store items such as snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials. Many locations also provide additional services like car washes, tyre air pumps, and sometimes partnered services such as parcel pick-up points or payment kiosks. Payments at Caltex Singapore can be made via credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, fleet cards, and branded fuel cards, and customers can often earn loyalty rewards or card-specific cashback.
A Caltex charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you purchase fuel, items from the Caltex convenience store, or services such as a car wash. The amount can reflect a one-time purchase, a pre-authorisation hold when paying at the pump, or a transaction routed through a partner payment system. Some corporate or fleet accounts may see recurring or consolidated monthly Caltex charges, depending on how the business fuel program is set up. In some cases, small test or authorization amounts may be shown temporarily when you first use a new card or mobile payment at a Caltex station; these are usually released after your bank finalizes the actual transaction.
If you’re unsure about a Caltex charge, start by checking the transaction date, amount, and location against your recent fuel stops or convenience store visits in Singapore. Look at your fuel receipts, loyalty program apps, or your bank’s transaction details, which may include the specific station name or address (e.g., “Caltex Jalan Bukit Merah”). For questions or disputes, you can contact Caltex Singapore via the contact details listed at caltex.com/sg, and you may also reach out to your bank or card issuer for more information or to raise a dispute if the transaction appears fraudulent. Common solutions include identifying a family member’s purchase on the same card, waiting for a pending pre-authorisation to settle to the correct amount, or contacting Caltex customer service with the date, time, and station to investigate further.
