Singtel mobile app eases the way for donations to Community Chest

SINGAPORE Telecommunications Ltd (Singtel) said that members of the public can now donate to Community Chest, direct from their mobile phones with Dash, its mobile wallet app.
 
“Singtel is a long-standing partner of Community Chest. We are proud to strengthen our partnership with Community Chest with Dash as one of its donation channels,” said Gan Siok Hoon, vice president of m-commerce, Consumer Singapore, Singtel.
 
“Our vision is to create a delightful mobile payment experience for our customers, from shopping to taking public transport. Now, customers can also ‘Dash with a Difference’ and do their bit for charity,” she added.
 
Interested donors can learn how to ‘Dash with a Difference’ and make mobile donations at the Dash booth at the Community Chest Heartstrings Walk 2015-SG50 Community Heartbeats on Aug 7, Singtel said in a statement.
 
All one needs to do is login to the Dash app and enter ‘7777’ to make contributions of any amount up to S$999.
 
New Dash customers will enjoy a S$5 welcome bonus upon successful sign-up until Aug 31.
 
For over 30 years, Community Chest has been engaging the community to support people in need through fund-raising and volunteering. It supports more than 80 charities in Singapore.
 
“Knowing that someone cares is a wonderful feeling and we want to make it as easy as possible to reach out to our beneficiaries,” said Community Chest managing director Ng Ling Ling. “With Dash, donors can contribute at a time and place of their choice.”
 
Under the Care and Share Movement for SG50, all eligible donations made from now until March 31 2016 will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Singapore Government, Singtel said in its statement.
 
Dash was created by Singtel and Standard Chartered Bank.
