Shopee Singapore and DBS/POSB today announced the launch of Points to Coins, a joint rewards integration programme designed to offer a more rewarding shopping experience for Singapore shoppers who are DBS/POSB cardholders. A first for Shopee Singapore, this programme promises to deliver added value to customers across Singapore by enabling conversions of DBS Points or POSB Daily$[1] to Shopee Coins[2]. Starting 1 October, users can instantly convert their DBS Points or POSB Daily$ to Shopee Coins.
To convert DBS Points or POSB Daily$ to Shopee Coins, users can access the Shopee Coins icon on the Shopee app homepage, tap the Points to Coins banner and select DBS Points or POSB Daily$ to log in to their bank account. They can then choose the number of points they wish to redeem. Users can convert 1 DBS Point to 1 Shopee Coin or 1 POSB Daily$ to 100 Shopee Coins. 100 Shopee coins are equivalent to S$1.
Winston Goh, Head of Marketing, Shopee Singapore, said, “We are thrilled to partner with DBS in this new initiative that allows Shopee users to stretch their dollar easily and seamlessly across platforms they trust and love. We are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the Shopee experience. Thus, be it indulging in retail therapy or stocking up on essentials, we look forward to more partnerships in the future to bring Shopee users more savings, rewards, and convenience.”
Tri Arini Melati, Executive Director, DBS Bank Consumer Banking Group, said: “We are happy to partner with Shopee to help our cardholders save more on their everyday spending. With the new Points to Coins feature, DBS/POSB cardholders can conveniently convert their card points to offset their purchases on Shopee, many of whom frequently shop on the platform. This partnership expands our suite of over 50 reward partners spanning dining, groceries, shopping, travel, and more; as we continue to explore additional avenues to provide our cardholders with more rewards and privileges.”
In celebration of this launch, Shopee and DBS will offer users upsized bonus rewards throughout October. Between 1 and 31 October 2023, users can redeem their DBS Points to get 1.5x Shopee Coins, capped at 1,000 bonus Shopee coins per user, on a first come, first served basis.
How To Convert DBS Points / POSB Daily$ to Shopee Coins
DBS Points and POSB Daily$ are awarded to DBS customers for their card purchases. ↑
Shopee Coins, which is Shopee’s official reward points system, can be used to offset the cost of purchases on Shopee. Users can earn Shopee Coins by making purchases, participating in games and activities, and completing tasks in the Shopee app. ↑
And they are none other than DBS and UOB, the two big local bank names we’re aware of.
So news has it that new security measures will be implemented to protect customers from scams.
These measures include…
DBS’ anti-malware tool for Android
Following in the footsteps of OCBC and Citibank, DBS announced that they have developed an anti-malware tool for Android phones.
This tool aims to prevent scammers from illegally accessing customers’ accounts by limiting app access when potential risks such as malware or malicious applications on customers’ phones are detected.
Starting early this month, if sideloaded apps with accessibility permission enabled or ongoing screen-sharing or mirroring are detected on devices, access to DBS’ banking app will be restricted.
Customers will only be able to regain access once they have taken the necessary action to secure their phones.
I’ve received an email with official updates from DBS yesterday (30 September 2023) since I’m their customer:
Check your email if you don’t want to take my word for it.
UOB, too, rolls out anti-malware security features
Similarly, UOB will be introducing new anti-malware security features on its banking app gradually.
These updates will restrict access to the app if apps downloaded from third-party or unauthorized sites with risky permissions are detected.
An error message will be sent, indicating the name of the potentially risky app.
To continue using UOB’s digital services, you will need to uninstall or disable accessibility permissions for the mentioned app.
Similar to DBS, access to UOB’s banking app will be denied if screen-sharing on other apps or tools is detected on your phone.
This measure aims to prevent scammers from gaining control of your device and compromising banking information.
You can only resume using the app by disabling screen sharing.
What bank users think
If you don’t already know, OCBC was the first to implement these new security measures in September 2023, followed by Citibank.
While these measures are designed to counter the threat of malware scams, not everyone accepts them with a huge “thank you.”
Some OCBC customers have expressed concerns about privacy on the bank’s social media platforms.
But it’s rather uncalled for because the head of anti-fraud at OCBC group financial crime compliance noted that it’s a misconception that the bank can scan phones and view personal content.
In short, your information does not get to the bank. Your privacy is yours to keep.
DBS Singapore Country Head also acknowledged that these measures may cause some inconvenience for customers but emphasized their importance in ensuring secure digital transactions.
UOB also reassured customers that their new security features do not monitor phone activities or collect and store personal data.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) says it supports local banks’ initiatives to increase the safety of online banking.
So while you may experience some additional inconvenience due to the recent security measures, they are necessary to maintain the security in digital banking.
Here’s a treat for you. If you are holding to a DBS or POSB Debit or Credit Card, you can enjoy 1-for-1 and up to 50% off at over 100 F&B establishments from now till 31 December 2021 (or unless otherwise stated).
Tuck into your favourite brunch or get your bubble tea fix with these deals.
Simply make payment with your DBS/POSB Cards to enjoy the offers.
