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.

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.
