Getting crisp new dollar notes for Chinese New Year is on most people’s checklist, which is why long queues at the banks right before the festive period used to be a common sight.
The good news is that POSB has started started making it more convenient for us to get new notes sans long waiting hours: from 9 to 24 January 2020, DBS/POSB is allowing all customers to get new and good-as-new notes at 40 POSB pop-up ATMs across 20 community clubs islandwide.
Customers will also be able to reserve time slots for new notes exchange via DBS’ online reservation system.

Special priority queues for the elderly and those with special needs will be available. You will also be able to use the SMS ‘Q’ notification service option to request for a queue number via SMS prior to visiting the branch and receive notifications on the availability of new notes.
Get free DBS/POSB red packets
If you are collecting and withdrawing your new or good-as-new notes at a DBS/POSB branch or pop-up ATM, remember to collect two sets of DBS/POSB red packets!
This year, the bank has launched its first-ever dual-branded DBS and POSB red packets, where DBS’ and POSB’s mascots are featured together on environmentally-friendly paper derived from sustainable sources. Eco-themed greetings and tips are also printed on each packet.
You can also do your part for the environment and recycle your old red packets after Chinese New Year at all DBS/POSB branches across Singapore, accessible during branch operating hours. Bins at selected branches will be accessible 24 hours daily.
