Dear Pundians,

November 12 to 18 is Singapore Fintech Week. It’s the week when the world’s biggest FinTech forum, the Singapore FinTech festival (SFF) is happening. It’ll be an especially busy time for the Pundi X team with a range of promotions, events and forums, and an excellent time to come learn more about our progress, meet our team, or see the XPOS in action.

Pay with crypto and get 20 percent off

We’ll be running a special promotion for the duration of the Fintech Week featuring six of our favorite local merchants*.

Simply get your XPASS card at our participating merchants to pay for your drinks or meal and receive 20 percent off when you settle the bill in BTC, ETH, BNB or NPXS.

Six outlets across Singapore, from the pulsing subterranean nightclub D’UNDERGROUND to one of the Marina Bay Sands’ most talked about fine dining establishments, Sen of Japan, will be offering rewards for customers who pay via the Pundi X POS. (Find links to all six participating outlets below).

XPASS cards will be available at each venue which enables you to top up with crypto.
