Singapore Airlines debuts KrisPay digital wallet

Saturday, 27 Jul, 2018 0

Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer programme has now entered the mobile payments market with new app KrisPay.

It allows members of SIA’s loyalty programme to transfer their KrisFlyer miles to KrisPay miles via the digital wallet and pay for a host of purchases including fuel and food.

KrisPay rolled out with 18 launch partner merchants including Esso, Cedele and Challenger, with more added to the platform in the coming months.

"Members can easily turn their KrisFlyer miles into KrisPay miles using the app’s instant top-up function. Once transferred, KrisPay miles have a validity of six months," the airline said in a statement.

Payment is taken by scanning the KrisPay QR code at the relevant merchant and then the amount of KrisPay miles redeemed is manually keyed in.

"By creating a miles-based digital wallet which integrates the use of miles into their daily lives, KrisFlyer members have yet another way to use miles instantly on everyday transactions," said SIA chief executive Goh Choon Phong.
