Normal Ang-Bao Cannot Meh?
To avoid spending a long time queueing to get fresh notes at the banks and to reduce the carbon footprint by not giving physical notes, giving E-Ang Baos digitally is definitely the way to go! Especially since there will be some of you who are limited to virtual gatherings via Zoom Calls, MS Teams or Google Hangouts. We’ve listed a few payment options for you to give your Ang Baos safely to your loved ones!
PayNow With Greetings
One of the more common ways of transferring money, you can PayNow to your relatives and friends with graphic greetings. Simply transfer your funds to your recipient with their NRIC or phone number, you can notify them with SMS or Whatsapp once they’ve received! This function will be available for DBS, OCBC, UOB, Standard Chartered, Maybank and Citibank users who will receive an app or SMS notification upon transferring.
