Towards a cashless society
In 1985, Singapore embarked on an ambitious plan to push the country towards becoming a cashless society.
The introduction of Interbank GIRO (enabling the public to pay their bills electronically) and the implementation of the NETS debit scheme (allowing consumers to make purchases at retail stores with just a card and PIN) were the start of a more-than-30-year journey that has seen numerous cashless payment innovations added to Singapore’s economy.
Today, NETS is an integral part of daily life in Singapore. From shopping to transport, paying bills and fees, or transferring money, NETS ensures that payments are made swiftly and securely each and every time.
