Eligibility period extended from 31st December 2020 to 31st May 2021
SINGAPORE – 30 DEC 2020
Enterprise Singapore (“ESG”), Infocomm Media Development Authority (“IMDA”) and the SG Digital Office (“SDO”) will be extending the e-payment bonus eligibility period for stallholders from 31 December 2020 to 31 May 2021. This is to provide more time for them to make use of the bonus (of up to $1,500) to adopt the Unified e-payment Solution (UePS) for their stall operations.
By encouraging the sustained use of e-payments, the bonus complements the government’s efforts to help stallholders adopt e-payment solutions1 to improve their productivity and enable them to safely operate in a post-COVID-19 environment. In November 2020, more than 7,000 stallholders received their e-payment bonus. Stallholders will still enjoy up to a maximum of $1,500, paid out in five monthly instalments of $300, if they fulfil at least 20 transactions (of at least $1) each month by 31 May 2021. All applicable bonus will still be paid by 30 June 2021.
Under the Hawkers Go Digital programme, SDO Digital Ambassadors have engaged more than 18,000 stallholders and more than 8,400 stallholders have adopted the e-payment solution. ESG, IMDA and SDO will continue to support our stallholders’ digitalisation journey.
