What is eGIRO?

 

eGIRO stands for Electronic GIRO. It is a digital initiative that digitises the GIRO application process with an aim to significantly reduce the GIRO set-up turnaround time. This is a joint initiative by The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS), and participating banks, with the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

 

How does eGIRO work and how can it benefit me?

 

You will be able to apply for eGIRO via the billing organisation’s website to set up eGIRO in minutes. All you need to do is specify your designated bank for the payment through eGIRO. On your bank’s internet banking login page, log in with your user ID and password. Select the bank account that you wish to make the payment from. You will receive a confirmation from the bank that your application is successful. 

 

How has the turnaround time been adjusted from paper GIRO application to eGIRO?

 

The current paper GIRO application process takes 3-4 weeks to complete end-to-end. With the new eGIRO process, the turnaround time is reduced to just minutes for a consumer and less than 48 hours for a corporate with approvers. 

 

Can I use a participating bank’s application/website to create an eGIRO instruction in my bank account(s)?

 

No. Currently, you can only create an eGIRO instruction via a participating billing organisation’s application or website.

 

Is there a charge to use eGIRO?

 

No. Currently, you will not be charged for creating an eGIRO instruction via a participating billing organisation’s mobile application or website.
