WHAT’S THE FUTURE OF CASHLESS SINGAPORE?

Unlike in China where practically everyone uses either WeChat Pay or AliPay, some in Singapore may still be confused when talking about e-wallets, probably because the Singapore market is still crowded with a few different players, and also because there is no pressing need to – using cash is still very convenient.

So, what’s the future of cashless Singapore and how would it pan out? We posed this question to Mr Ng Aik-Phong, Regional Managing Director of Fave Singapore and Malaysia, Mr Edward Yue, head of DBS PayLah! and Mr Gilbert Chuah, head of Mobile Financial Services at Singtel’s International Group. Here’s what they have to say:   

Mr Ng Aik-Phong, Regional Managing Director, Fave Singapore & Malaysia: In Singapore, we’re coming to the stage where there is already a huge consolidation of players taking place. When SGQR first started, FavePay was one of the early members in the task force along with 40-50 wallets. Right now, this 40-50 has consolidated to 4-5 main leading wallets and I think that’s a good number to maintain, we don’t want to see a monopoly.

To add more value, each player should be innovating to achieve their own goals while also working collaboratively to achieve collective goals.

Gilbert Chuah, Head of Mobile Financial Services at Singtel’s International Group: For Dash, our aspiration is to make our app as appealing to our segment as possible. That starts with relevant use cases, which is why we have started working towards being more than just a payments app, such as by making general insurance and remittance available on the app. Moving forward, there will be more lifestyle and financial services made available within the app.

Additionally, Dash’s vision of a cashless society is not just within Singapore. We want to enable our customers to go cashless in Singapore and overseas as well. Through our collaboration with Fave, hopefully we’ll be able to look at the next phase of cross-border payments.

Edward Yue, Head of DBS PayLah! at DBS Bank: People still use cash in Singapore and I think there’s still a long way to go to get to the stage where China is, there’s still a great deal of innovation that’s going to come forth.
