Singtel’s Dash to allow international digital money transfers

This is made possible through Singtel’s partnership with Western Union.

Mobile wallet Dash users will soon be able to perform international digital money transfers as Singtel and Western Union announced their partnership during the first day of the Singapore Fintech Festival 2021.

Dash is Singtel’s all-in-one mobile wallet, offering in-store as well as online payment solutions for customers. For the first time, Western Union’s digital money transfer capabilities will be integrated with a mobile wallet in Singapore with the transaction experience all native within the Dash app, offering enhanced convenience to Dash customers. 

After the definitive agreement is signed and integration completed, the service will be introduced in phases, enabling Dash customers in Singapore to seamlessly send money around the world, starting with India and eventually scaling up to the wide scope and reach of Western Union’s global payout network.

According to Gilbert Chuah, head of financial and lifestyle services at Singtel, this partnership with Western Union is their answer to their customers' rising demand for a simpler and more convenient way to send money internationally.

“We are building Dash to be the all-in-one wallet, so that our customers can conduct their daily transactions easily on a single app. As payment technology evolves, we will be looking to enable even more innovation on the Dash app and bring more value to our Dash customers,” Chuah said.
