Initiative helps customers stretch their dollar while supporting hawkers and heartland merchants, with participating businesses recording a 50% uplift in Saturday PayLah! earnings during last year’s campaign

DBS/POSB is bringing back its popular PayLah! SGD 3 cashback campaign for a fourth year from 29 August to 19 December 2026, giving Singaporeans and residents more ways to save on everyday spending at heartland shops, wet markets, coffee shops and hawker stalls.

This year’s campaign will run for 17 Saturdays – five weeks longer than last year – with 2.7 million cashback rewards available in total, an increase of around 40%. Every Saturday, the first 160,000 customers can enjoy up to SGD 3 cashback when they scan to pay with DBS PayLah! at participating merchants.

The cashback forms part of the DBS Saturday Savings programme, under the bank’s SGD 10 million support measures announced earlier this year to help Singaporeans manage cost pressures. The programme kicked off in July with SGD 3 off eggs and SGD 3 off rice every Saturday at Sheng Siong and Giant supermarkets islandwide for customers paying with eligible DBS/POSB credit or debit cards. To date, customers have redeemed more than 440,000 eggs and rice offers, collectively saving more than SGD 1.3 million.

“Every dollar saved matters, especially amid today’s rising costs. We’re pleased to bring back our PayLah! cashback campaign for the fourth year to help make essential spending a little bit lighter for our customers. It also encourages more to support our neighbourhood businesses, allowing the benefits to flow back into the heartland communities we serve,” said Calvin Ong, Head of Consumer Banking Group, DBS Singapore.

DBS/POSB first introduced its weekly SGD 3 PayLah! cashback for hawker meals in 2023 to help customers manage rising everyday expenses. The initiative was subsequently expanded to wet markets, coffee shops and heartland shops in 2024, enabling more customers and local businesses to benefit.

Today, half of all PayLah! Scan to Pay transactions are for food and groceries at heartland shops and hawker stalls. Of those who redeemed cashback rewards last year, 36% were senior citizens, earned less than SGD 2,500 a month, or both. Participating hawkers, wet market stallholders and heartland merchants also recorded a 50% increase in Saturday earnings from PayLah! transactions last year, exceeding the 40% growth achieved during a similar cashback campaign in 2024.
