DID YOU KNOW:
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) sets out plans for Singapore to be cheque-free by 2025. As corporate cheques phase out: What does it mean for businesses?
Phasing out cheques is not endgame for businesses – instead, this curtain call would open three more doors for you.
1 | Significantly reduce expenses associated with cheque processing
Since 1 November 2023, the Domestic Systematically Important Banks (D-SIBs)2 have implemented charges for clearing cheque issued by both individuals and corporates, while other banks will do so by July 2024.
2 | Enjoy near-instant payment and receipt of funds
What would normally take about 2 to 3 business days to process can be done in minutes. Manhours previously spent on administrating cheques can now be meaningfully redirected to other work areas.
3 | Do your part in saving the earth
Go paperless. A business’ green efforts – from its supply chains to financial practices – may influence today's more earth conscious customers to support your company.
