OCBC users were also among the first to receive their AP payouts last year.
As of the time of this article, there have been no reports of UOB and POSB/DBS users receiving the funds.
In a press release, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced that about 2.9 million Singaporeans aged 21 and above are expected to receive the payouts from 5 Dec.
The payments disbursed this year range between S$200 and S$600, depending on individuals’ income and property ownership.

The AP cash payment was announced by Finance Minister and then-Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during Budget 2024 in February.
The payments aim to alleviate cost-of-living pressures for Singaporean households and to provide more support for lower and middle-income families.
Citizens can log into the govbenefits website using their Singpass account to enquire about their eligibility.
