From today onwards (1 July), all eligible NSmen from past and present will be receiving their $100 NS55 digital credits that will be disbursed to them progressively in batches.
The credits are to thank them for their contributions to Singapore’s defence over the years in commemoration of 55 years of NS.
MINDEF said previously that NSmen will be eligible for the package based on their national service status as of May this year.
NSFs who enlisted by 31 December this year will also qualify for the benefits after their enlistment.
The $100 credits can be used to purchase anything from vendors who accept PayNow UEN QR or NETS QR, and can be accessed through the LifeSG app.
The vendors include e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, hawkers, heartland shops and etc.
The credits will be disbursed to the servicemen digitally from 1 July to 31 July in batches, and hardcopy vouchers will be provided to those who are unable to access or redeem their credits via the LifeSG app.
The package also includes a complimentary SAFRA or HomeTeamNS principal member for a year.
