Tap and Pay with Dash at Singapore’s largest retailer, NTUC FairPrice





Singapore, 16 November, 2015 – Starting tomorrow, Dash customers will be able to make payments with Singtel’s award-winning mobile payment app at over 200 NTUC FairPrice (FairPrice) retail outlets, comprising FairPrice supermarkets, FairPrice Xtra hypermarkets and standalone Cheers outlets.

Ms Gan Siok Hoon, VP of mCommerce, Consumer Singapore, Singtel, said, “As a leading Fintech solutions provider, Singtel is delighted to partner with FairPrice, Singapore’s largest retailer. There are more than half a million customers who shop at FairPrice stores daily, and we are excited to offer them the choice of swift and secure payments with Dash.”

With a new feature called Dash Tap and Pay available exclusively at Fairprice and Cheers retail stores, customers with NFC Android phones can pay quickly and conveniently by simply tapping their phones on a reader at the checkout.

Ms. Gan added, “Ultimately, when it comes to mobile payments, convenience and security matter the most to customers. To address this, we worked to improve the experience with the new Dash Tap and Pay feature, to better fulfil our customers’ mobile payment needs.

Mr Gerry Lee, Deputy CEO (Operations), NTUC FairPrice, said, “FairPrice continues to innovate and leverage technology to cater to the changing lifestyles of our customers and enhance their shopping experience. Dash is another step forward in our ongoing initiatives to introduce greater flexibility through additional payment options to make it more convenient for customers.

Singtel has been working rapidly to diversify payment modes for the use of Dash both in the shops and online. Just last month, Dash partnered with leading online retailer, Lazada.SG, to support e-commerce payments. Today, Dash has the largest mobile payment merchant network in Singapore by collaborating with home-grown partners and transport operators.
