A Better World, Together

Living sustainably isn't easy. 73% of Singaporeans are willing to adopt a green lifestyle in a fuss-free and intuitive manner, but many have yet to discover the right channels to do so*.

That’s why we created LiveBetter on digibank, a new initiative for all of us to make a real impact on our world, together. Because living sustainably doesn't have to be inconvenient.
