Singtel’s Dash said that it is supporting the community with new initiatives that will provide customers and partners with more options as they seek to remit money, shop online for necessities, and connect their businesses with demand.
To aid employers and foreign workers based here in Singapore who are impacted by stay home measures and travel restrictions, Dash is offering complimentary mobile remittance services to enable safe and convenient digital money transfers to the seven countries in its network – Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and the Philippines.
Dash will offer complimentary remittance services to healthcare workers sending money to any of the seven markets served by Dash, and to Malaysians transferring funds home to Malaysia, a new addition to Dash’s remittance network. Dash will also waive fees on all new users’ first mobile remittance.
In addition, Dash has teamed up with local insurer NTUC Income to be one of the first to extend free 30-day COVID-19 insurance protection to foreign workers when they remit at least S$100 back home. The COVID-19 insurance provides a S$1,000 lump sum payout upon diagnosis, and supplements Dash Protect, which is already available on a complimentary basis to customers remitting S$100 and above.
Later this month, Dash said it will also enhance its remittance offering for China which is Singapore’s largest remittance market. Dash will also be helping merchants better find, connect with, and serve the needs of the online customer base, functioning as a channel for them to market their services to all Singapore residents.
