Keep a lookout for various demonstrations of Purpose Bound Money (PBM) happening across different booths at Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2023, held from 15-17 November 2023 at Singapore Expo. PBM is a concept first introduced by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as part of Project Orchid, which enables special conditions and business logic to be specified when making transfers in digital money.

Back in September, StraitsX collaborated with Grab and UOB to introduce the Singapore Pitstop Pack industry pilot, allowing users the opportunity to purchase PBM vouchers from Fave. Users are able to use the Grab Web3 Wallet for payments with these vouchers, with payment acceptance ranging across 200 merchant outlets islandwide, including the likes of KOI, JUMBO Seafood, IRVINs, and more. Find out more about the Singapore Pitstop Pack industry pilot here.

‍Load up on free Singapore Pitstop Pack vouchers at the StraitsX booth

Located in Hall 4, Booth 4D08, the StraitsX team will be on hand to distribute $5 Singapore Pitstop Pack vouchers which can be used across more than 200 accepting merchant outlets. Alternatively, users can opt to spend the vouchers for a cup of coffee or tea at the StraitsX booth. Each purchase of a drink at the StraitsX booth comes with a free pack of IRVINs chips.  

The Singapore Pitstop Pack vouchers are an example of PBM, which allows conditions such as programmable rewards, validity period, and type of merchants to be specified when making transfers in digital money. Users will be required to set up their Grab Web3 Wallet to receive and pay with these vouchers.
