What you need to know about POSB’s monthly cashback “BANK AND EARN” programme

POSB has just introduced their new “Bank and Earn” cashback rewards programme, targeting the early- and mid-career individuals based on their banking needs.

 

A programme that rewards you based on transactions you're probably already doing

Earlier this year, they conducted a survey among some 800 customers on their reward preferences based on their banking relationships. Results showed that customers wanted the following:

• Rewards structure that is straightforward and simple to understand.

• Cashback rewards which are credited to their accounts regularly.

• Rewarded based on their multiple relationships and transactions done with the bank.

• No requirement to make additional deposits to earn rewards.

To meet these needs, POSB launched the “bank and earn” programme. The programme aims to reward customers with a cashback incentive every month. All customers have to do is carry on with their regular banking transactions.

The straightforward programme is the first of its kind in Singapore that offers direct cashback rewards without the need for customers to make additional fund deposits into their accounts.

 

Start earning cashbacks immediately

Customers need only fulfill three types of regular banking transactions within a month to qualify for these rewards. Most people already meet these requirements.

According to POSB, customers will only need to conduct at least three of the following transactions every month to earn up to SGD 130 per month in cashback rewards:

They even illustrate how customers can do that with two simple tables:
