Following the launch of its loadable QR-backed Ang Baos (red packets) earlier this year, DBS is now offering the same this Raya season with the quintessential Hari Raya green packets, in hopes of fostering cashlessness in these usually high-cash activities without sacrificing the traditional act of handing out physical packets.
The green packets feature unique QR codes on the back for users to ‘load’ their desired cash values via DBS PayLah!—up to SG$999. Recipients need to scan the same QR code with their own DBS PayLah! app to receive loaded amounts.
This year, DBS green packets can be repurposed as Ketupat décor as well.
According to DBS, the Raya offering follows its Chinese New Year pilot which records a total of SG$1.5 million in total loaded amounts.
