Singtel and NETS introduce payment feature in hi!App

Bank cards from DBS, OCBC and UOB can be digitised as an in-app payment mode.

Singtel’s prepaid customers may now use NETS ATM bank cards to make top-ups and purchase data plans and services directly on their mobile devices as part of hi!App’s new feature NETS Click, a press release revealed.

NETS ATM bank cards from DBS, OCBC and UOB can be digitised as an in-app payment mode. The contactless payment option enables customers without Internet banking, debit or credit cards to carry out transactions on the app, providing a safe digital alternative to visiting physical retail stores in-person, especially given the strict measures taken against COVID-19.

The feature doesn’t require transaction fees. Customers will receive 1GB of free mobile data when they register and top-up with NETS Click for the first time. In addition, they will get complimentary 30% additional bonus talktime with every NETS Click top-up from 25 June to 31 July.

Using tokenisation technology, NETS Click enables NETS bank cardholders to tokenise their cards, and experience highly secured one-click payments with their mobile phones. Singtel’s hi!App is available in six languages—Bengali, Burmese, English, Indonesia Bahasa, Mandarin and Tamil.

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.
