The run was triggered by their action to stop allowing payment of bills via their debit cards. AXS stopped that as people game the system to rake up CC miles. So, when a few days ago the debit card was no longer allowed to be used, those sharks immediately withdraw huge amounts over the weekends... Some of them actually use other people's SingPass to register for multiple accounts, essentially a form of leverage... if not money laundering... https://www.reddit.com/r/singaporefi/commen...late_visa_card/ https://sethisfy.com/nerfed-axs-stops-accep...d-for-payments/ To make matter worse, Chocolate Finance blamed AXS for the card service cancellation when it's they themselves who asked AXS to cancel the service. Typical kiasu kiasi SG behaviour seen very obviously... ![]() This post has been edited by TOS2: Mar 10 2025, 12:29 PM |

Don't promise people what you can't do... Lesson for digital banks and fintech.

If its like no limit on "2 miles per dollar," for example you spend 100k a month, and get 200k miles point, thats gaming the system. TOS2 liked this post

Let's say that my only intention is to keep my money in Fullerton SGD Cash Fund, and I do not intend to perform any stock trading.
Between Tiger Brokers and Moomoo Singapore, which one is more suitable for me? I prefer to use a computer, to perform transactions to keep my money in Fullerton SGD Cash Fund, instead of using a smartphone. Thank you for your clarification. |

FT Singapore
āRich and naiveā: why Singapore is engulfed in a āscamdemicā City-state residents who are digitally native and naturally compliant with authority are especially vulnerable to fraud https://www.ft.com/content/3299cf7e-67bd-46...a9-55fc24a66b63 (Use a paywall bypass to read it fore free) -Scam victims in Singapore lost the most money of any country in 2023, at $4,031 each, compared with second-placed Switzerland at $3,767 and third-placed Austria at $3,484. The number of scam cases reported to Singaporean police rose 10 per cent in 2024 on the previous year to 51,501. QUOTE Increasingly, scammers are using artificial intelligence and deepfake videos. The Monetary Authority of Singapore in March warned of scammers using AI tools to impersonate regulatory officials and instruct victims to transfer money from corporate bank accounts. The fact that Singaporeās banks have invested heavily in improving their digital capabilities can mean that money transfers through the system and into criminalsā hands too fast to be caught. As a result, some banks are now trying to introduce more āfrictionā into the system by delaying transfers and putting in more checks and balances. It typically takes about 30 minutes for criminals to transfer stolen funds out of the Singaporean banking system. āBy the time it comes to the banks, the victims are already under such a heavy spell that itās very hard for us to stop them from making the transfers ā especially in romance, investment and government impersonation scams,ā said Yuen, who is also head of legal and compliance at OCBC, one of Singaporeās biggest banks. |
