Singtel expands its VIA mobile payment alliance to Japan THU, JUL 25, 2019 - 3:15 PM UPDATED THU, JUL 25, 2019 - 5:29 PM SINGTEL on Thursday debuted its cross-border mobile payment alliance, VIA, in Japan through the StarPay platform by Japanese tech firm Netstars. This expands the VIA alliance&rsquo s footprint beyond Singapore and Thailand, the telco said in a joint media statement with Netstars. Merchants at the Haneda Airport International Terminal, which is operated by Japan Airport Terminal Co, can now accept QR code payments from tourists on VIA. More acceptance points across Japan will be added in the coming year, starting with the rest of Tokyo and other popular tourist destinations such as Osaka, Kyoto and Hokkaido. Acceptance points will include convenience stores, restaurants and department stores. The VIA alliance connects both telco and non-telco mobile wallets across borders, creating a region-wide payment network where travellers can use their local mobile wallets at participating merchants. Singtel, together with its regional associate AIS and Thailand&rsquo s largest digital bank, Kasikornbank, first launched VIA in Singapore and Thailand last October. This enabled QR code payments across both countries through the Singtel Dash, AIS Global Pay and Rabbit Line Pay wallets. With the alliance&rsquo s launch at Haneda Airport, tourists from Singapore and Thailand can now also shop and dine in Japan using QR code payments in their home currencies at competitive exchange rates. More mobile wallets will be joining VIA in the coming months, Mr Lang said. Other wallets that are joining VIA include Kasikornbank&rsquo s K Plus in Thailand, Axiata Digital&rsquo s Boost in Malaysia, and LinkAja in Indonesia, according to the statement on Thursday. This will grow the alliance to represent some 40 million mobile-wallet users and 2.1 million merchants across Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. Singtel said it plans to expand VIA to include its other regional associates as well as non-telcos. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/singtel-expands-its-via-mobile-payment-alliance-to-japan |

HLF will not get a dfb. To my mind, it does not meet the requirement.

The fundamentals holding up this stock are abstract but true. Reversing interest rates favour such stocks with their high debts enabling them to pay dividends albeit lower than 17.5cts. When rates reverse, big international funds flow back into Singtel because of the dividends & the favourable exchange rates. The ongoing 4g revolution needs 5G, Singtel being the best bet. No auction of 5G favours Singtel. When its foreign investments threaten to go awry, not because of its fault as in Airtel, GIC & Temasek stepped in to help in the extra fundings. Not only the board oversees Singtel, Temasek too. When something is wrong, changes in top management are swiftly made keeping it sharp & efficient. The 4G is growing etc. I ' 1ll move in if it reverses to $3 & below. Wyeo. |

SingTel, Hong Leong will get digital bank licences July 2nd, 2019 It&rsquo s a nap that two of the licences will go to SingTel (or a SingTel jv) and Hong Leong Group. SingTel or a jv led by it will get one of the two digital full bank licences, which will allow licensees to provide a wide range of financial services and take deposits from retail customers. The focus of a SingTel bank will be regional remittances via its regional network of telcos. Think of all the Peenoy and Indon maids who remit money via remittance firms. Grab or Go-Jek could decide to try to cut a deal with SingTel, rather than apply for a virtual bank licence themselves because they can bring to the party a regional presence via their apps etc. But SingTel may be too greedy to do a jv. I suspect the authorities will make SingTel tie up with Go-Jek or Grab. But the other co will not be left out in the cold (see below) because I think the authorities want competition here between the two and because Temasek has stakes in both: Temasek, GIC got this right in our backyard. Related post: Offered money, Grab it Hong Leong group will get one of the up to three digital wholesale bank licences, which will allow licensees &ldquo to serve SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and other non-retail segments&rdquo . Hong Leong Finance is a de facto SME bank though people like Inderjit Singh and Jack Sim are not happy with the way it does biz, and are forever KPKBing for really cheap financing for SME owners, even though it&rsquo s a fact that SME owners often divert biz loans to buy property. Grab, Go-Jek and Razor will try for the other virtual bank licence, though I think they&rsquo ll have to find a S&rsquo porean partner because I&rsquo m sure they will try to get M1 owned by Keppel and SPH to partner one of them. But as I said for Grab and Go-Jek working with SingTel could be a better bet if SingTel is not too greedy. The other could then tie up with M1.

I come acrose this article, http://fintechnews.sg/31924/virtual-banking/digital-banking-license-singapore/ it seem that Singtel also interest to get a digital banking license. Personally, I think that if they really want to get the license, it will be their for the taking. Any comment? However, I not sure whether it a good business for them to get it. Any comment? |

Shared the SAME tot as you ....it has to be about 3/4mths ago where its below $3. Well its STILL bleeding on those business now ....less or more nex result will tell. Recent new " plans to ' unlock value' from loss-making digital businesses" cld b a reason for some push up ....BUT LOST making business hv VALUE to unlock , then it must be badly managed? Who is sleeping or is there any value to unlock. Further...the current competative local market introduction .....will sure eat into the margin of Singtel large portion of local market. 5G is an expense and dont expect return within 1/2 yrs min . fundamentally , wonder what is the catalyst pushing this counter. Vested :(

I missed out on Singtel when it was below $3. At that time, my friend & I disagreed on when to go in. Both of us are down-cycle contrarians -- we pick good stocks when they bottomed out. We only disagreed on the timing to go in. I delved much into its accounts & ploughed through the details. At that time, it was bleeding heavily from Airtel & Telkomsel was also showing signs of doing so after a nos. of years of big contributions to Singtel. I thought Globe & the Thai' s associate would follow suit. Besides, the new business of cyber securityetc. from the accounts are not contributing significantly to balance out the bleeding, unlike SGX. From reading DBS analyst, Mittal, I am likely a bit slow. The v. competitive Indian market is likely abating & the mkt is still young, far fr. maturing. In short, I should ' ve bought some as I usually do & stagger my buy if it goes down, trading in between. writing this fr. memory. wyeo. |

Singtel names Ng Kuo Pin as new CEO for unit NCSSINGTEL has appointed Ng Kuo Pin as chief executive officer of its wholly-owned subsidiary NCS with effect from Aug 1, the telco said in a media statement on Friday. Mr Ng is currently deputy CEO of NCS, and will succeed Chia Wee Boon, who was appointed CEO on July 1, 2010. Mr Chia will take on an advisory role in Singtel&rsquo s group enterprise business to work on special projects. Mr Ng joined NCS in February 2019 from Accenture, where he had worked for 24 years and held three senior managing director roles. His responsibilities had included the communications, media & technology (CMT) business in Singapore and China and most recently, he was head of consulting for CMT Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. Mr Chia leaves after helping to grow NCS revenues by 60 per cent to S$1.8 billion, and driving national projects like the Schools Standard ICT Operating Environment and the next-generation Electronic Road Pricing system, said Singtel. During his time at the helm, NCS also scaled its business by expanding its offshore development centre in Pune. http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/singtel-names-ng-kuo-pin-as-new-ceo-for-unit-ncs |

Singtel confirms plans to ' unlock value' from loss-making digital businesses CEO takes big pay cut WED, JUN 26, 2019 - 10:18 AM UPDATED WED, JUN 26, 2019 - 1:29 PM MAINBOARD-LISTED telco Singtel is looking at monetising some of its loss-making digital investments, leadership confirmed in an annual report on Wednesday. Board chairman Simon Israel pointed to cybersecurity business Trustwave, as well as digital marketing units Amobee and Videology, which are part of the digital life division. &ldquo Part of our digital transformation involved making calculated investments in new businesses that would thrive in the future economy,&rdquo said Mr Israel. &ldquo Your board is aware that the value of these investments is not being recognised in our share price and management intends to unlock this value at the appropriate time.&rdquo Singtel&rsquo s cybersecurity business chalked up widening losses before interest and tax, to the tune of S$102 million for the 12 months to March 31, according to its latest full-year financial results. Operating revenue was up by 4.1 per cent on the year prior, to S$549 million. Meanwhile, the digital life division was in the red on the whole, while the Amobee advertising arm - including the recently acquired Videology - posted a larger pre-tax loss of S$42 million, even as its revenue grew by 11.9 per cent, to S$1.2 billion. Group digital life chief Samba Natarajan said that, &ldquo as we continue to build operating momentum, we are turning our attention towards value realisation&rdquo for units such as Amobee and video streaming platform Hooq. &ldquo This could be in the form of additional strategic partners coming on board as stakeholders in the entity, or through an (initial public offering),&rdquo said Mr Natarajan. &ldquo We also look to better inform the investment community on the real value of these businesses, as they are quite different from our traditional core businesses and should be valued with metrics appropriate for their respective industries.&rdquo Mr Natarajan added that, on top of acquisitions and organic growth, Singtel is tapping its venture capital fund, Innov8, to fuel its digital business development by taking stakes in &ldquo emerging growth companies... especially those that are fi lling the gaps left by traditional infrastructure or are disrupting and improving service delivery through their digital solutions&rdquo . &ldquo These are companies that create value for our customers, particularly in emerging markets,&rdquo he said. &ldquo Given our footprint, we can by extension, help them scale their business and expand in the region.&rdquo Meanwhile, Singtel group chief executive Chua Sock Koong&rsquo s pay package was nearly halved, after she oversaw what she said was &ldquo far from business as usual&rdquo . Ms Chua made S$3.5 million in annual salary and bonus, alongside benefits such as car benefits, medical cover and club membership - down from S$6.1 million the year before. The sum does not include performance share and share option expenses. &ldquo Competition intensifi ed across virtually all our markets as operators jostled for market share while advances in technology continued to disrupt the telco industry, putting more pressure on prices and return on investment,&rdquo Ms Chua noted, calling the operating environment one of &ldquo tougher industry and business conditions&rdquo . https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/singtel-confirms-plans-to-unlock-value-from-loss-making-digital-businesses-ceo  |
