Nets gets 15,000 cabbies to encourage hawkers to go cashless

Singapore

IN ITS bid to push hawkers to go cashless, payment services group Nets has enlisted the help of an unconventional army: ComfortDelGro's 15,000 taxi drivers.

The plan is for cabbies to introduce the Nets QR code system to hawkers unfamiliar with it. For every hawker they manage to get sign up for the Nets service, cabbies will receive monetary rewards, said both firms in a joint announcement on Thursday.
