ComfortDelGro integrates booking app into DBS PayLah!

Users will enjoy the same functionalities offered by the ComfortDelGro app.

DBS and ComfortDelGro have entered into a partnership to allow users to book and pay for taxi rides directly through an in-app booking function on DBS PayLah!, according to a news release.

Users will enjoy the same booking and payment functionalities as offered by the ComfortDelGro Taxi Booking App, and are not required to download an additional app.

This follows the rollout of PayLah! as an in-app payment in the ComfortDelGro booking app in March where taxi passengers could select PayLah! as a default QR Code payment option within the app.

In February, both parties had also collaborated on an initiative to encourage commuters to use cashless payment for street hail fares to help facilitate contact tracing during the pandemic. Customers would get $2 off and a 10% admin fee waiver with their DBS/POSB Card when they pay for their taxi fares via the pay for street hail feature on the ComfortDelGro booking app. As of mid-June, over 50,000 redemptions had been made.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
