SIA app adds Android, Apple payment options

Users will be able to pay for tickets and fees with the new feature.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) added Android Pay and Apple Pay to its mobile app to allow its users to conduct cashless transactions.

According to a press release, customers would now be able to pay for airline tickets, redeem booking-related fees and purchases with the new feature.

The app will also allow users to make transactions without the requirement of filling in payment information, because Android Pay accounts already have the necessary information on card details. Meanwhile, Apple Pay will make use of a unique device account number stored in the mobile device.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
