All the way to September, there will be cashbacks as well as S$0.60 meal deals at participating food and beverage outlets.

 

DBS/POSB is bringing back the popular weekly S$3 cashback at hawker stalls, wet markets and heartland shops, as part of the bank’s latest slew of benefits to bolster customer savings and commemorate Singapore’s 60th birthday. Over the next three months, the bank will offer some two million cashback rewards that Singaporeans and residents can redeem for their purchases in the heartlands via DBS PayLah!. In addition, POSB debit and credit cardmembers can enjoy new S$0.60 and S$6 meal deals at participating food and beverage outlets.

Besides helping consumers to save more on their everyday expenses, the bank will also enliven Marina Bay by introducing new complimentary sailboat rides in Marina Bay every Friday evening.

The SG60 gamut of year-long benefits, first launched in March, include 60-cent grocery deals; measures to reduce mortgage payments; waivers and cashback benefits for heartland merchants; and a DBS Foundation nutritional and mental well-being support programme for vulnerable seniors. They reinforce the bank’s longstanding commitment to support its customers and the community. For instance, DBS was the first corporate in Singapore to offer weekly hawker meal subsidies via PayLah! in 2023, as part of the bank’s suite of support measures for customers amid rising everyday expenses. Last year, the bank subsidised over S$14 million worth of everyday purchases and hawker meals in the heartlands.

Today, over 70 percent of payments made via PayLah! Scan to Pay are for food and groceries from heartland shops and hawker stalls. Among those who redeemed the cashback rewards, 39 percent were seniors and/or earning less than S$2,500 a month. Participating hawkers, wet market stallholders and heartland merchants also saw their weekend earnings increase by about 40 percent via PayLah! transactions.

• Any day (July 1 to September 30): S$0.60 deals at participating food and beverage outlets, including at local favourites Old Chang Kee, BreadTalk, TOAST BOX and Polar Puffs & Cakes. KFC will be offering S$6 set meals (valid while stocks last). These deals are available via the POSB Everyday Card and PAssion POSB Debit Card.
• Every Saturday (July 12 to September 27): Up to S$3 cashback for the first 160,000 people who scan and pay with PayLah! at over 22,000 participating hawker stalls, wet markets and heartland shops from 8am. Participating heartland shops and wet market stalls will display the ‘POSB Support Our Heartland Shops’ wobbler. Hawker stalls will display the PayLah! Scan to Pay sticker and have to be SGQR code-enabled.

From August 1, DBS/POSB credit cardmembers can redeem their DBS Points and POSB Daily$ for new DBS Rewards Flexi eVouchers on PayLah! and spend them at any merchant with a valid NETS SGQR code. From August 1 to September 30, 2025, DBS cardmembers who redeem 6,000 DBS points in exchange for a S$60 DBS Rewards Flexi eVoucher will receive an additional S$60 cashback.

There will also be complimentary sessions for the public. These include:

• Every Friday evening (from September): Members of the public can sign up for complimentary sunset sail rides in Marina Bay to enjoy the iconic city skyline. This is in addition to the day sailing sessions available five days a week.
• Every weekend: Members of the public can enjoy free programmes that showcase Singaporean music, poetry and films at the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre at the Esplanade.

Throughout the year, the bank will continue to revitalise local neighbourhoods through its POSB “Support Our Heartlands” community engagement efforts. These include scaling digital and financial literacy carnivals and Getai roadshows to more neighbourhoods, as well as ensuring that digital, anti-scam awareness and financial literacy education is more accessible and convenient for everyone.
