This Saturday-exclusive cashback campaign highlights the growing role of mobile payments in Singapore’s heartland economy. As more residents adopt digital wallets like PayLah!, such initiatives not only benefit individual consumers but also help traditional merchants stay relevant in a digital-first landscape. Be sure to set your alarms – the cashback is limited and highly sought after each week!
