Bookings to collect fit-for-gifting notes for Chinese New Year to start from Jan 7

Lenders won’t give customers any SMS communications with clickable links, according to MAS.

DBS, OCBC, and UOB will increase the number of pop-up and branch ATMs that accept match notes in several locations throughout Singapore in order to make it simpler for the people to obtain them, the expert added.

Only those over the age of 60 or those with disabilities may walk in to change their old notes for suit or fresh notes for DBS, OCBC, and UOB.

Customers of various banks can check the particular banks ‘ websites for information on the suit and new information exchange.

According to MAS, lender note processing machines have checked the condition of healthy notes, which are of comparable quality to those obtained from ATMs.

Gifting dark or electronic red envelopes “preserves” the custom of Chinese New Year “while reducing carbon emissions from producing new information.”

Last year, more than 11.7 million meet papers were exchanged at the banks, a 5 % increase over the past Chinese New Year.

” This resulted in emissions savings of around 408 tCO2e, similar to the annual emissions from powering about 220 four-room public accommodation cottages”, said MAS.
