Sssst. Apple Pay users, here’s your cheat sheet for available rebates in Singapore
Find out which one gives the most exciting promotions for Apple Pay users
“Did you say cashback?”
Yesterday, Apple announced its partnership with DBS/POSB, OCBC, Standard Chartered, and UOB in Singapore enabling Apple Pay for Visa and MasterCard credit and debit card holders. It got many of us excited at the e27 office and lunch today was pretty much about “first-time user” stories bordering on the magical with high hopes for the future.
My firsthand account: I enjoyed roughly 30 seconds of fame while making my first Apple Pay purchase at the supermarket. The queue behind me had curious looks as I placed my Apple Watch next to the reader and I would like to believe it was akin to watching someone use a Star Trek transporter for the first time.
Anyway, the raving and fanaticism was later followed by a Slack war on which Singapore banks gave the best promotions when using Apple Pay.
We thought it’d be a waste not to share the information, so here’s what we found:
Bank | Promotion | The fine print at a glance |
