Singapore – Financial services company Singlife has recently launched the “The Dream Cube”, a digital, virtual, and AI-driven web campaign, to allow Singaporeans to see what their unique financial freedom dream would look like in real life. 

‘The Dream Cube’ builds on the momentum of Singlife’s 2024 “Dream” campaign, launched on 1 July with a brand film starring Mediacorp artiste and Singlife brand ambassador Pierre Png. 

Said campaign takes participants through a personalised journey with generative AI technology and webAR with just a few taps on their mobile devices. They answer three simple questions about their views on financial freedom, and unlock a unique, AI-generated vision of their dreams. 

The scenarios are based on the research and insights garnered from Singlife’s first Financial Freedom Index study, conducted in 2023, which showed that Singaporeans feel that financial freedom means being able to retire whenever they want, travel and give back to society, amongst others.

Apart from encouraging Singaporeans to pursue their dreams, this innovative activation reinforces Singlife’s commitment to listening to its customers. By understanding their dreams and aspirations, Singlife derives valuable insights to tailor its offerings and services to meet evolving customer needs.

Debra Soon, group head of brand, communications, marketing and experience at Singlife, said, “Singlife’s ‘Dream’ campaign is about empowering Singaporeans to visualise and chase their dreams. The Dream Cube takes this message to another level, allowing individuals to see themselves achieving those dreams, one which is personalised and unique.”

She added, “We hope this will give them the impetus to plan for their financial freedom and know that their dreams are achievable if they take the right steps and plan with the right data and advice. At the same time, we want them to have some fun with the app and connect with us on a digital platform.” 

Participants can enter “The Dream Cube” by visiting dreamcube.singlife.com. From now until 24 September 2024, the first 5,000 participants will receive a S$20 e-voucher, as well as a Financial Freedom Starter Plan with ideas for solutions to help kickstart their financial planning journeys.

In line with the campaign message, the company also announced its sponsorship of the award winning local film “Wonderland”. The movie tells a heartwarming story about attaining one’s dreams, be it for one’s family or simply the pursuit of a better life. Singlife reaffirms its dedication to partnering Singaporeans in chasing their dreams by finding a better way to financial freedom.

Singapore – In response to encouragement from the Monetary Agency of Singapore to give electronic hongbaos instead of physical ones in the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration, financial app Revolut  has now enabled the sending of e-hongbaos using its Gifting feature.

The handing of Hongbaos is a tradition in several East and Southeast Asian countries which are red envelopes containing cash, given out as a token of good fortune in occasions such as baptisms, weddings, birthdays and festivals. 

Under Revolut’s new e-hongbao feature, users can send in 28 currencies, including Australian dollars (AUD), Hong Kong dollars (HKD), United States dollars (USD) and the British pound sterling (GBP). The e-hongbaos will also feature special designs provided in the Gifting platform.

“With the Monetary Authority of Singapore encouraging people to give e-hongbaos instead of physical ones for Chinese New Year, it has become a necessity to make it easy for everyone to give hongbaos in a safe, frictionless and fun way, said James Shanahan, CEO of Revolut Singapore.  

“Revolut has expanded beyond our origins as a multi-currency travel card. Our foreign exchange (FX) feature can be used for remittance, gifting, and online shopping, where customers will always be assured they are getting the best exchange rates,” added Shanahan.

The e-hongbao feature on Revolut SG will be available on February, the month for the Chinese New Year.
