DBS QR Gift cards and eGift digital angpows
DBS Red Packets: The Digital and Semi‑Digital Ways to Share Luck
Let’s face it—no one wants to cram a red packet into their pocket and hope it doesn’t get lost in a crowded street. With DBS’s new eGift and QR Gift Card options, you can give a traditional mandarin orange mood and the modern convenience that most people crave.
Two Paths, One Big Red Packets Experience
There are two main types of red packets that you can use this year:
- Digital eGift – the virtual, lightning‑fast option you’ll find inside the PayLah! app.
- Semi‑Digital DBS QR Gift Card – a clever hybrid that looks like a paper packet but spots a QR code for instant redemption.
The Digital eGift: Quick, Easy, and Perfect for Long‑Distance Love
Push the tiny “eGift” icon in PayLah! and you’re set. Pick the amount, drop a quick “angpow” message, and choose an animation that says, “I’m your lucky charm!” This is the go‑to gift for people who can’t meet in person but still want to spread good fortune.
The Semi‑Digital DBS QR Gift Card: The Best Of Both Worlds
Why not have the best of both worlds? The QR Gift Card is essentially a paper packet—environmentally friendly, FSC‑certified paper, no harmful chemicals—redecorated with a scannable QR code.
Once the recipient scans the code, the money instantly pops into their account. No cash or awkward hand‑shakes needed.
Where to Get Yours—All in One Handy Checklist
- Order online by January 16, 2022 to receive your card by January 26, 2022 in the mail.
- Branch pickup: Jan 3 at DBS/POSB full‑service branches.
- New‑notes ATMs: Jan 11.
- Sheng Shiong shops: Jan 17.
No Cost, All Cheers
The best part? The QR Gift Cards are FREE OF CHARGE for all DBS customers. That’s right—free lunch that actually gives you money.
Going Global (and Green)
In 2021, 37 corporate firms used these cards for their employees—seven times the number from 2020. They’re not only a token of goodwill but also a carbon‑friendly choice, thanks to the use of FSC‑certified paper and QR codes replacing hefty paper money.
Speaking of numbers, last year DBS saw a staggering $6.3 million loaded onto QR Gift Cards—double the $2.5 million in 2020. Clearly, people love to give and receive good vibes.
Takeaway
Whether you’re looking to give a quick digital hug or a paper token that still works as the ultimate “scan‑and‑win,” DBS’s red packet options let everyone stay connected—and keep the planet a little greener.

New Note Collection Made Simple (and a Bit Fun)

Remember: you can withdraw or swap the notes. And since each customer gets just one reservation, choose your slot wisely!
Two Windows to Watch Out For:

| Window #2 – Jan 10 – Jan 17 | Jan 20 – Jan 28 |
