Get New Notes for CNY at 42 POSB pop-up ATMs from tomorrow
Get new notes (and good-as-new ones too) for CNY 2019 from tomorrow at DBS and POSB branches, or at 42 new notes pop-up ATMs islandwide
If your CNY duties include packing red packets and giving them out, then you’ll be happy to know that you can get your hands on new, crisp notes with that fresh-moolah scent easily from tomorrow.
DBS and POSB will have new and good-as-new notes for CNY available from tomorrow, 15 January 2019, till 4 February 2019, and you can get them in three easy ways: from temporary pop-up ATMs, through DBS’ online reservation system, and at the banks’ branches islandwide.

This is the fifth year that POSB is installing temporary ATMs with new notes for CNY, and there’ll be more ATMs this year — 42 compared to 36 last year — making it easier and more convenient for us to get our angpow fillers.
The 42 POSB new notes pop-up ATMs are located at 20 community clubs islandwide. All you need is your DBS or POSB card to withdraw CNY new notes in sums of SGD 100 (SGD 2 x 50), SGD 300 (SGD 10 x 30), SGD 500 (SGD 50 x 10) and SGD 600 (SGD 10 x 20 + SGD 50 x 8).
There’s no need to rush! The new notes pop-up ATMs are accessible 24/7 except for those at Chong Pang and Teck Ghee Community Club (available from 9am to 9.30pm daily). POSB ambassadors will also be stationed at various pop-up ATMs to guide customers from 15 January to 4 February, 9am to 9pm.
