Top up cashcard at carpark exit

CashCard out of value? Top it up at carpark exit

Motorists will soon be able to avoid the hassle of leaving their vehicles to top up their Nets CashCards at terminals when faced with insufficient funds to pay their parking fees at carparks.

Nets yesterday announced that it is working with carpark payment-solution providers to enable Nets EFTPOS payment at the point of exit.

EFTPOS stands for Electronic Funds Transfer at Point-of- Sale.

Nets EFTPOS will allow motorists to top up their Nets CashCards using their Nets ATM cards directly at the exit, to pay parking fees.

A motorist will have to insert his Nets ATM card into the fee machine and key in his PIN number, in order to do so.

However, the new payment option will be made available only when there are insufficient funds in a motorist's CashCard to pay the parking fee.

Mr Ang Sok Hong, vice-president of sales and partnership at Nets, said: "What we're doing is giving them (motorists) greater convenience so that they have other (payment) options.

"Carpark operators also benefit from implementing the Nets EFTPOS payment system as it allows them to reduce the resources needed to man carparks."

POSB & DBS tea parties

POSB and DBS clients, get ready for tea parties

Don't be surprised to hear of talks on fengshui, or even a tea party, being held at a POSB or DBS Bank branch near you.

Under a new operating model, managers at all POSB and DBS branches have been given the autonomy to organise and tailor activities to cater to the interests of their customers.

This was revealed at a media briefing held yesterday at DBS Building. Piloted at 12 POSB branches last year, the initiative was rolled out to all 67 POSB and DBS branches in January.

For instance, Ms Joycelyn Tan, POSB business manager at the Compass Point branch, organised a fengshui talk in January to complement the Chinese New Year festivities.

But such activities are not solely for fun and games, as they allow the branch's staff to interact with customers, and gain a better understanding of their banking needs, said Ms Tan.

Each POSB branch spans about 2,600 sq ft and serves some 120,000 regular customers. POSB said it has enhanced its centres which are smaller versions of its branches that do not provide financial-planning services.

Two service staff members have been assigned to each centre to provide basic banking services, such as ATM-card replacement and account opening.

At the briefing, POSB and DBS also revealed that their automated teller machines (ATMs) are being upgraded to read the EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) smart chips that are being installed progressively in all their ATM cards.

最轻松的兼职工 代人排队1小时赚30元

最轻松的兼职工 代人排队1小时赚30元

最轻松的兼职工!什么都不用做,1小时竟能赚30元!

目前市面上的兼职工很多,一般上如果是在快餐店打工,每小时可赚不超过5元,如果是在电话中心(call centre)打工,每小时可得9元。有一些行业的兼职工薪酬则介于6元至12元之间。

不过,现在出现一种兼职工,工作性质轻松,几乎是什么都不用做,1小时就有高达30元入袋。

究竟是什么工?原来,是“排队工”!

当一些购物中心举办促销,或是房地产公司新推出项目,或演唱会门票刚开始发售时,如果有人想第一次时间买到这些,却不想辛苦漏夜排队,就会找人来帮忙排队。

新ipad本月16日面世 我国是首批发售国家

不是“iPad 3”,也不是“iPad HD”,苹果公司昨天发表第3代iPad产品,是升级版的全新ipad(The New ipad),并宣布于本月16日正式公开销售,价格保持不变。

更让本地苹果迷兴奋的是,新加坡被列入新款ipad首批发售的国家,也就是说国人可与美国、加拿大、英国、香港等10个国家的人一样,在第一时间拥有新款的ipad。

众所瞩目的新款ipad昨天凌晨时分,在美国正式发布。

整体来说,新款的ipad外型虽然跟iPad 2相去不远,但在硬体功能方面则大幅提升,包括:
- 加入Retina视网膜显示屏。
- 配备了全新语音控制功能。
- 支持4G LTE网络。
- 500万像素的摄像头。

画质细密程度 高过全高清电视

新款ipad直接强打的就是让其他平板电脑难以匹敌的超高解析度屏幕。

它的“超高解析度”,可达2048X1536,甚至还高过一般家中的全高清电视机,画质细密程度,号称已超过人眼视网膜能够辨识的程度,因此,称做“视网膜”显示器。

在处理器方面,新款iPad搭载A5X处理器。上代iPad则是A5处理器。苹果表示,A5X处理器的速度比全球首款4核处理器Tegra 3的速度快2倍,性能则是Tegra 3的4倍。

Offside Futsal Park opens under Thomson Flyover

Offside Futsal Park opens under Thomson Flyover

Football enthusiasts can now play futsal, or indoor soccer, under the Thomson Flyover.

This is the first time a vacant land parcel under a flyover has been made available for commercial use.

The new Offside Futsal Park sits on the former site of Whitley Hawker Centre.

It is a pilot project by the Singapore Land Authority to see how more of such land can be put to better use.

The park cost about half a million dollars and took four weeks to build.

Each of the four futsal courts can be rented by the hour at the rate S$60 to S$90.

Peak-hour rate is S$90.

Developers of the park said they are hoping to build refreshment and shower facilities on-site.

They also said they believe the park's street-feel and location will appeal to football enthusiasts.

Derek Cheong, director, Business Development, Offside Futsal Pak, said: "Singapore is a land-scarce location, so it's good to increase the land utility under flyovers. So we chanced upon this, and since demand is really huge in Singapore for futsal, for soccer basically, so we thought it's a good chance for us to go into the business and meet these demands."

Thomas Jacques, footballer, Singapore Soccer Academy, said: "I like that it's underneath a bridge. I'll probably come back with my team, or I'll come back to have a kick around."
