DBS returns with weekly S$3 cashback at hawker stalls, heartland shops

[SINGAPORE] Singaporeans can enjoy S$3 cashback when they spend at hawker stalls, heartland shops and wet markets on Saturdays from Jul 12 to Sep 27.
This is a reboot of the programme that was first launched in August 2023 and lasted till December 2024.
DBS on Sunday (Jun 29) said that the move is part of the bank’s SG60 benefits to boost customer savings.
The initiative allows the first 160,000 people who scan and pay with PayLah! at more than 22,000 participating hawker stalls, heartland shops and wet markets from 8 am to receive the cashback.
These merchants will display the PayLah! Scan to Pay sticker and have to be SGQR-code-enabled.
Over the next three months, DBS will offer some two million cashback rewards that can be redeemed from purchases in the heartlands via DBS Paylah!. From Jul 1 to Sep 30, those who use POSB Everyday Cards and PAssion POSB Debit Cards can buy S$0.60 deals at participating F&B outlets, including local favourites such as Old Chang Kee and BreadTalk. Meanwhile, KFC will offer S$6 meal deals for such users.
