Eligible Singaporeans can get these AP payments without having to take any action. However, individuals should link their NRIC to PayNow if they would want to receive their AP Seniors’ Bonus payments sooner.
If a person has an account with one of the participating banks in Singapore, the government encourages them to link their NRIC to PayNow by January 26, 2024.
According to MOF, those who comply can start receiving their AP Seniors’ Bonus as early as February 5, 2024. HSBC, ICBC, Maybank, OCBC, RHB, Standard Chartered Bank, UOB, Bank of China, CIMB, Citibank, DBS / POSB, and other collaborating banks are listed for PayNow-NRIC.
The payment will be made through GovCash or directly paid to the bank account that was previously used for prior payments, if any, if the PayNow-NRIC is not connected to any of the partner banks.
