Singapore, here’s a little something for all of you​

Prices have gone up and we know many of you have cut back on spending due to rising expenses. We believe that banking has a higher purpose to create a positive impact. So we are committed to helping you, our customers, reduce some of these pressures. We’re subsidising 5 million hawker meals over 12 months in an effort to ease the pinch for all of you.

Here’s how you can enjoy a subsidised meal every Friday​

From 10 February 2023 to 19 January 2024, you can enjoy up to S$3 subsidy* on your hawker meal every Friday by being the first 100,000 users to scan to pay with DBS PayLah! at any of the SGQR-enabled hawker stalls islandwide.

There is no minimum spend to qualify for the subsidy. The subsidy amount will be credited to your PayLah! account on the same day.

*100% cashback (capped at S$3). Limited to 1 redemption per user every Friday starting at 6AM. Cashback will be updated to your PayLah! wallet on the same day. Terms and conditions apply.
