Uber and grab car/taxi works very well here.

Just register your cards with Uber or Grab.

Localize travel just use bus and MRT.

Yes, credit cards are very widely accepted in Singapore, though some shops 
may not take American Express due to higher cost for them.
About taxi, if using credit cards, there may be 10% overcharge, but it will 
not be a larger number. As I can imagine, even you take the most luxury 
taxi for the longest journey in Singapore, it should not exceed 80 SGD.
To stay here for one week, it is a good idea to exchange 100-200 SGD for 
convenience.

VISA is widely accepted and there are many ATMs around (including the 
airport). YMMV for other cards. Vendors of small shops and kiosks might not 
accept cards for small purchases so it's wise to carry some cash.
Always check with taxi drivers that they accept VISA before boarding.
Singapore does not have a tipping culture.
Regards
Bill

Hi,
Are cards widely accepted (e.g., taxi, shops, etc.) in Singapore?
ATM experience at the airport?
Thanks
Bala’zs
