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

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.
