DBS/POSB is bolstering its Chinese New Year (CNY) ‘phygital’ gifting services and rewards for you to usher in the Year of the Rabbit.

DBS digibot

The complimentary DBS QR Gift order and delivery service for both DBS/POSB and non-bank customers is back by popular demand – now enhanced for a simpler and smoother ordering process via the bank’s chatbot, digibot.

From now till 12 January, you can simply place your orders within a few clicks on digibot and the cards will be mailed to them for free by 20 January. To place an order for DBS QR Gift cards, please visit here.

DBS QR Gift cards will also be available at all DBS/POSB full-service branches and pop-up ATMs, and at all Sheng Siong outlets from 5 January.

Companies that have pledged to gift their employees and other stakeholders DBS QR Gift cards for CNY 2023, have loaded more than 56,000 cards to date, which is more than double the cards loaded for CNY 2022.

Prizes will have to be redeemed via DBS PayLah! or PayNow by 28 February 2023.

More pop-up ATMs to obtain new and ‘Fit-for-Gifting’ notes

This year, you will be able to withdraw new notes and Fit notes at 72 pop-up ATMs – up from 64 ATMs last year – across 47 locations. This service will be available from 10am to 10pm daily from 5 January to 20 January, and 10am to 1pm on 21 January (eve of CNY).

POSB service ambassadors will be on hand at all 47 locations to assist you during operational hours, and each customer will be limited to three withdrawals of new and Fit notes throughout this period.

More amount options available via online reservation

Reserve your notes online and access more options to reserve SGD 10 and SGD 50 dollar note denominations in batches of SGD 100, up to SGD 500. To better cater to seniors who reserve their notes online, five collection slots will be set aside for them every hour per DBS/POSB full-service branch, during branch operating hours.

Aligned with the nation’s ongoing efforts to safeguard the health and safety of those who may be more vulnerable to Covid-19, new and Fit notes withdrawal and exchange services via walk-in visits at branches will be restricted to customers aged 60 and above, and customers with disabilities.

All other customers will need to first book a slot via DBS’ notes reservation system online indicating their preferred branch, date and time of collection, as well as quantity of QR Gift cards and new and Fit notes in respective denominations.

Celebrate CNY with peace of mind

In light of rising costs and expenses due to persistent inflation and the increase in Singapore’s goods and services tax (GST) rate to 8 per cent starting 1 January 2023, DBS/POSB will be extending its suite of DBS PayLah!, POSB Everyday Card and PAssion POSB Debit Card deals and cash rebates on everyday essentials such as groceries, utilities and transport, till 31 January 2023.

In the bank’s continued support for children and families in need, POSB will also be organising its first charity drive at the annual River Hongbao. POSB will donate SGD 5 for every selfie taken with the God of Fortune and posted on participants’ personal social media Facebook and Instagram public accounts, with the hashtag #NeighboursDoGood.

With the public’s participation, POSB aims to raise and donate SGD 50,000 by the end of the event on 28 January 2023.
